Question 62
A company recently started using Amazon Aurora as the data store for its global ecommerce application. When large reports are run, developers report that the ecommerce application is performing poorly. After reviewing metrics in Amazon CloudWatch, a solutions architect finds that the ReadIOPS and CPUUtilizalion metrics are spiking when monthly reports run. What is the MOST cost-effective solution?
- A Migrate the monthly reporting to Amazon Redshift.
- B Migrate the monthly reporting to an Aurora Replica.
- C Migrate the Aurora database to a larger instance class.
- D Increase the Provisioned IOPS on the Aurora instance.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The most cost-effective solution for addressing the performance issues in the ecommerce application when running large reports is to migrate the monthly reporting to an Aurora Replica. This approach offloads the read operations from the primary Aurora instance, thereby reducing the ReadIOPS and CPUUtilization spikes, and improving the overall performance of the application.Discussion
