Amazon Exam DOP-C02 Topic 4 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DOP-C02 exam

Question #: 48
Topic #: 4

An online retail company based in the United States plans to expand its operations to Europe and Asia in the next six months. Its product currently runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. All data is stored in an Amazon Aurora database instance.

When the product is deployed in multiple regions, the company wants a single product catalog across all regions, but for compliance purposes, its customer information and purchases must be kept in each region.

How should the company meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of application changes?

AUse Amazon Redshift for the product catalog and Amazon DynamoDB tables for the customer information and purchases.

BUse Amazon DynamoDB global tables for the product catalog and regional tables for the customer information and purchases.

CUse Aurora with read replicas for the product catalog and additional local Aurora instances in each region for the customer information and purchases.

DUse Aurora for the product catalog and Amazon DynamoDB global tables for the customer information and purchases.

Option C gets my vote. Keeping the catalog in one place makes sense, and the regional Aurora instances for cusDaner data is a smart way to meet compliance.

D is interesting, but I'm not sure I'd want to mix Aurora and DynamoDB for something this critical. Stick with one database technology, I say.

Haha, option A with Redshift and DynamoDB? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Not the most elegant solution if you ask me.

Yeah, it might be better to go with option C and use Aurora with read replicas for the product catalog.

I agree, using Redshift and DynamoDB together seems like an odd choice.

Option B with DynamoDB global tables for the catalog seems like a simple and scalable solution. Plus, I like how it separates the cusDaner data by region.
