The application stores its data in an Amazon Aurora on Amazon RDS database in the primary region with a read replica in the secondary region. The application uses Amazon Route 53 to direct customer traffic to the active region. Which steps should be taken to MINIMIZE downtime if a primary database fails? <br \/><strong><br \/>A.<\/strong> Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the status of the RDS instance. In the event of a failure, use a CloudWatch Events rule to send a short message service (SMS) to the Systems Operator using Amazon SNS. Have the Systems Operator redirect traffic to an Amazon S3 static website that displays a downtime message. Promote the RDS read replica to the master. Confirm that the application is working normally, then redirect traffic from the Amazon S3 website to the secondary region. <br \/><strong>B.<\/strong> Use RDS Event Notification to publish status updates to an Amazon SNS topic. Use an AWS Lambda function subscribed to the topic to monitor database health. In the event of a failure, the Lambda function promotes the read replica, then updates Route 53 to redirect traffic from the primary region to the secondary region. <br \/><strong>C.<\/strong> Set up an Amazon CloudWatch Events rule to periodically invoke an AWS Lambda function that checks the health of the primary database. If a failure is detected, the Lambda function promotes the read replica. Then, update Route 53 to redirect traffic from the primary to the secondary region. <br \/><strong>D.<\/strong> Set up Route 53 to balance traffic between both regions equally. Enable the Aurora multi-master option, then set up a Route 53 health check to analyze the health of the databases. Configure Route 53 to automatically direct all traffic to the secondary region when a primary database fails.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<style> .hidden-div{ display:none } <\/style>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button onclick=\"getElementById('hidden-div').style.display = 'block'\"> Show Answer <\/button> <button onclick=\"getElementById('hidden-div').style.display = 'none'\">Hide Answer<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"hidden-div\" id=\"hidden-div\"><span style=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">Correct Answer: <strong>D<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A DevOps Engineer manages an application that has a cross-region failover requirement.
