AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 433

Question

A company has an application that uses an Amazon RDS for MariaDB Multi-AZ database. The application becomes unavailable for several minutes every time the database experiences a failover during a planned maintenance event. What should a SysOps administrator do to reduce the downtime of the application during failover?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Create an RDS proxy that is associated with the database. Configure the application to connect to the proxy instead of directly to the database. Amazon RDS Proxy pools and shares database connections to improve scalability and resilience. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
