AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02) — Question 65

A company has applications in an AWS account that is named Source. The account is in an organization in AWS Organizations. One of the applications uses AWS Lambda functions and stores inventory data in an Amazon Aurora database. The application deploys the Lambda functions by using a deployment package. The company has configured automated backups for Aurora.

The company wants to migrate the Lambda functions and the Aurora database to a new AWS account that is named Target. The application processes critical data, so the company must minimize downtime.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Download the Lambda function deployment package from the Source account. Use the deployment package and create new Lambda functions in the Target account. Share the automated Aurora DB cluster snapshot with the Target account.
• B. Download the Lambda function deployment package from the Source account. Use the deployment package and create new Lambda functions in the Target account. Share the Aurora DB cluster with the Target account by using AWS Resource Access Manager {AWS RAM). Grant the Target account permission to clone the Aurora DB cluster.
• C. Use AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share the Lambda functions and the Aurora DB cluster with the Target account. Grant the Target account permission to clone the Aurora DB cluster.
• D. Use AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share the Lambda functions with the Target account. Share the automated Aurora DB cluster snapshot with the Target account.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it allows the new Lambda functions to be created using the deployment package while also enabling the Target account to access the Aurora database by sharing it through AWS RAM, facilitating a clone operation. Option A lacks the ability to clone the Aurora DB cluster, which is essential for minimizing downtime. Options C and D do not utilize the deployment package for Lambda functions, which is required for proper function deployment in the Target account.
