Actual exam question for Amazon's SOA-C02 exam

Question #: 105
Topic #: 10

Users of a company's internal web application recently experienced application performance issues for a brief period The application includes frontend web servers that run in an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster The application also includes a bacKend Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster that includes one DB instance.

A SysOps administrator determines that the source of the performance issues was high utilization of the DB cluster. The single writer instance experienced more than 90% utilization for 11 minutes The cause of the high utilization was an automated report that is scheduled to run one time each week

What should the SysOps administrator do to ensure that users do not experience performance Issues each week when the report runs?

AIncrease the size of the DB instance. Monitor the performance during the next scheduled run of the report

BAdd a reader instance. Change the database connection string of the report application to use the newly created reader instance.

CAdd another writer instance Change the database connection string of the report application to use the newly created writer instance.

DConfigure auto scaling for the DB cluster Set the minimum capacity units, maximum capacity units, and target utilization

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Increasing DB Instance Size:

Increasing the instance size provides more CPU and memory resources, which can help handle higher loads.

Steps:

Go to the AWS Management Console.

Navigate to RDS and select the DB instance.

Modify the instance to increase its size.

Apply the changes during the next maintenance window or immediately if it is a critical issue.

Monitoring Performance:

After resizing, monitor the instance during the next report run to ensure that it handles the load effectively.

I think adding a reader instance could also help distribute the load better.

I agree with Haydee. That seems like the most straightforward solution.

Haha, the SysOps admin should just delete the report. Problem solved!

But what if the report needs to write data? Wouldn't a reader instance be better to offload the read load?

I think we should increase the size of the DB instance and monitor the performance.

I think option D is the way to go. Auto scaling will ensure the DB cluster can handle the report without impacting performance.
