AWS Certified Database – Specialty — Question 128

A Database Specialist is designing a disaster recovery strategy for a production Amazon DynamoDB table. The table uses provisioned read/write capacity mode, global secondary indexes, and time to live (TTL). The Database Specialist has restored the latest backup to a new table.
To prepare the new table with identical settings, which steps should be performed? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Re-create global secondary indexes in the new table
• B. Define IAM policies for access to the new table
• C. Define the TTL settings
• D. Encrypt the table from the AWS Management Console or use the update-table command
• E. Set the provisioned read and write capacity

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because defining IAM policies ensures that access controls are properly set for the new table, and defining the TTL settings is crucial for managing item expiration. Options A, D, and E are not necessary to replicate the table's settings in this scenario, as those actions pertain to different configurations or security aspects not required for the immediate restoration process.
