Question #: 95
Topic #: 13
[All BDS-C00 Questions]

Your application uses CloudFormation to orchestrate your application's resources. During your testing phase before application went live, your Amazon RDS instance type was changed and caused the instance to be re-created, resulting in the loss of test data.

How should you prevent this from occurring in the future?

AllowedValues in A could work, but it feels a bit limiting.

Wait, can you really set a property to read-only in CloudFormation? Sounds odd.

I feel like the DeletionPolicy option is a good choice, especially to retain data, but I wonder if it would still allow for instance type changes.

I practiced a question about making properties read-only, but I’m uncertain if that applies to the DBInstanceClass in this case.

I think using a stack policy sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it really stops updates or just restricts who can make them.

I remember discussing how setting AllowedValues could limit changes, but I'm not sure if it would completely prevent the instance from being recreated.

This is a great question that really tests our understanding of CloudFormation. I think Option E with the DeletionPolicy is the simplest and most straightforward solution.

Okay, I've got a strategy. I'm going to focus on the stack policy and permissions approach in Option B. That seems like the most robust way to prevent unauthorized changes.

Hmm, I think the key here is to find a way to lock down the instance type so it can't be changed accidentally. Option A looks promising, but I'll need to double-check the details.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the CloudFormation documentation to understand the different options for protecting against unintended resource updates.

I'm a little confused on the difference between vertical and horizontal analysis. I know one looks at percentages and the other looks at changes over time, but I'm not sure which is which. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I have this right.

I'm feeling pretty confident on this one. Since the MAC address is unknown, the request will get flooded, and the only response will come from the PE node that has the MAC address in its local FDB. I'm going to select B.

I'm confident that option C is the correct answer. The master schedule is all about aligning the company's operations to meet customer demand, so that's the best indicator of its effectiveness.

Option E is the way to go! Retaining the instance on deletion is the best way to ensure your test data is safe. Plus, it's a great way to keep your DBA happy.

Haha, option A is like trying to put a band-aid on a bullet wound. Limiting the allowed values? That's like putting a lock on a door that's already been kicked down.

C'mon, option C? Making the instance type read-only? That's too restrictive. What if I need to upgrade the instance in the future? I'd go with option E and retain the instance on deletion.

I like option D. Subscribing to the CloudFormation events and canceling the update if it's the RDS instance is a proactive approach. That way, you can catch the change before it happens.

Option B seems like the best solution to prevent unwanted updates to the RDS instance. Restricting the IAM permissions is a good way to ensure only authorized personnel can make changes.
