A company has branch offices in the United States and Singapore. The company has a three-tier web application that uses a shared database. The database runs on an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance that is hosted in the us-west-2 Region. The application has a distributed front end that is deployed in us-west-2 and in the ap-southeast-1 Region. The company uses this front end as a dashboard that provides statistics to sales managers in each branch office.

The dashboard loads more slowly in the Singapore branch office than in the United States branch office. The company needs a solution so that the dashboard loads consistently for users in each location.

Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?

A.
Take a snapshot of the DB instance in us-west-2. Create a new DB instance in ap-southeast-2 from the snapshot. Reconfigure the ap-southeast-1 front-end dashboard to access the new DB instance.

Explanation:


You can restore a DB instance to a specific point in time (PITR), creating a new DB instance. To support PITR, your DB instances must have backup retention set to a nonzero value.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/setting-up-a-binlog-server-for-amazon-rds-mysql-andmariadb-using-mariadb-maxscale/

"After you run the command, it’s okay to enable backup retention on the RDS instance by using theAWS CLI or the console. Enabling backup retention also enables binary logging."
