Amazon DOP-C02 Exam - 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.

A seems like overkill for just a product catalog.

Wait, can we really use DynamoDB for customer data?

I vaguely recall that using Aurora for the catalog could simplify things, but I’m not clear on how it would integrate with DynamoDB for customer data.

I feel like option B makes sense since it keeps customer info regional, but I’m not entirely confident about the performance implications.

I think using Aurora with read replicas could work for the product catalog, but I’m uncertain about how it handles compliance for customer data.

I remember we discussed using global tables in DynamoDB for similar scenarios, but I'm not sure if that's the best fit here.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The solution is all about leveraging the right AWS services to meet the business needs. I just need to make sure I fully understand the tradeoffs of each option.

Whoa, lots of moving parts here. I'm a bit overwhelmed trying to juggle the regional requirements, data separation, and minimizing application changes. I'll need to take a deep breath and tackle this step-by-step.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is finding a way to centralize the product catalog while keeping the customer data localized. Let me walk through each option...

Hmm, keeping the product catalog separate from the customer data is an interesting challenge. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of the different database options to determine the most efficient approach.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the requirements carefully to find the best solution with the least amount of application changes.

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.

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.

I think option C is the best choice. Using Aurora read replicas for the product catalog ensures a single source of truth, while having local Aurora instances for customer data keeps it compliant.
