Question 336 - SOA-C02 discussion

Export

A company is running Amazon RDS for PostgreSOL Multi-AZ DB clusters. The company uses an AWS Cloud Formation template to create the databases individually with a default size of 100 GB. The company creates the databases every Monday and deletes the databases every Friday.

Occasionally, the databases run low on disk space and initiate an Amazon CloudWatch alarm. A SysOps administrator must prevent the databases from running low on disk space in the future.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the FEWEST changes to the application?

A.
Modify the CloudFormation template to use Amazon Aurora PostgreSOL as the DB engine.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

To prevent Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Multi-AZ DB instances from running low on disk space, enabling storage auto-scaling is the most straightforward solution. This feature automatically adjusts the storage capacity of the DB instance when it approaches its limit, thus preventing the database from running out of space and triggering CloudWatch alarms. Option C is the least intrusive and most effective solution as it only requires a modification to the existing CloudFormation template to enable auto-scaling on storage. For reference, see AWS documentation on managing RDS storage automatically Managing RDS Storage Automatically.
