AWS Certified Database – Specialty — Question 103
A large company has a variety of Amazon DB clusters. Each of these clusters has various configurations that adhere to various requirements. Depending on the team and use case, these configurations can be organized into broader categories.
A database administrator wants to make the process of storing and modifying these parameters more systematic. The database administrator also wants to ensure that changes to individual categories of configurations are automatically applied to all instances when required.
Which AWS service or feature will help automate and achieve this objective?
Answer options
- A. AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store
- B. DB parameter group
- C. AWS Config
- D. AWS Secrets Manager
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as a DB parameter group allows the database administrator to manage configuration parameters for multiple DB instances efficiently. It ensures that any changes made to the parameter group are automatically applied to all associated instances. Options A and D, while useful for storing parameters and secrets respectively, do not provide the same level of automation for database configurations, and option C focuses on resource compliance rather than specific parameter management.
