Amazon SAA-C03 Exam - Topic 2 Question 42 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAA-C03 exam

Question #: 42
Topic #: 2

A company hosts a three-tier web application in the AWS Cloud. A Multi-AZ Amazon RDS for MySQL server forms the database layer. Amazon ElastiCache forms the cache layer. The company wants a caching strategy that adds or updates data in the cache when a customer adds an item to the database. The data in the cache must always match the data in the database.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

AImplement the lazy loading caching strategy

BImplement the write-through caching strategy.

CImplement the adding TTL caching strategy.

DImplement the AWS AppConfig caching strategy.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A public NAT gateway enables instances in a private subnet to send outbound traffic to the internet, while preventing the internet from initiating connections with the instances. A public NAT gateway requires an elastic IP address and a route to the internet gateway for the VPC. A private NAT gateway enables instances in a private subnet to connect to other VPCs or on-premises networks through a transit gateway or a virtual private gateway. A private NAT gateway does not require an elastic IP address or an internet gateway. Both private and public NAT gateways map the source private IPv4 address of the instances to the private IPv4 address of the NAT gateway, but in the case of a public NAT gateway, the internet gateway then maps the private IPv4 address of the public NAT gateway to the elastic IP address associated with the NAT gateway. When sending response traffic to the instances, whether it's a public or private NAT gateway, the NAT gateway translates the address back to the original source IP address.

Creating public NAT gateways in the same private subnets as the EC2 instances (option A) is not a valid solution, as the NAT gateways would not have a route to the internet gateway. Creating private NAT gateways in the same private subnets as the EC2 instances (option B) is also not a valid solution, as the instances would not be able to access the internet through the private NAT gateways. Creating private NAT gateways in public subnets in the same VPCs as the EC2 instances (option D) is not a valid solution either, as the internet gateway would drop the traffic from the private NAT gateways.

Therefore, the only valid solution is to create public NAT gateways in public subnets in the same VPCs as the EC2 instances (option C), as this would allow the instances to access the internet through the public NAT gateways and the internet gateway.Reference:

I thought TTL caching was for expiring data, not syncing it?

No way, lazy loading won't keep the cache updated like B does.

B is the best choice for keeping cache in sync with the database.

I vaguely recall something about TTL caching, but I don't think it guarantees that the cache always matches the database.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the write-through caching strategy is the best option here since it updates the cache on write operations.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like lazy loading might not update the cache immediately when data changes.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The write-through caching strategy is the obvious choice here, as it ensures that the cache and database are always in sync.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key requirement is that the data in the cache must always match the data in the database. That means we need a write-through caching strategy, where updates to the database are immediately reflected in the cache.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the options. I'll need to review my notes on the different caching strategies to understand the differences between them and figure out which one is the best fit.

This looks like a tricky question. I'll need to think through the different caching strategies carefully to determine which one best meets the requirements.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirements mention natural language search, so Power Virtual Agents seems like a good option. But I'm not sure about the other part - does Business Process Flow really fit the customer service agent contact need? I might need to double-check the details on that one.

Based on my understanding, I believe statement III. is the correct one. Audits typically result in observations, recommendations, and a pass/fail assessment, which aligns with the description provided.

I think "generate short-term wins" could be one of the answers too, since R didn't keep the motivation going after the initial successes.

Lazy loading? That sounds like it might work, but wouldn't it mean the first cusMyraer to request the data would have to wait for it to be loaded from the database? Not very efficient.

Lazy loading is not the best option in this case. It would indeed make the first customer wait for data to be loaded from the database.

Write-behind caching could also work. It allows data to be written to the cache first and then asynchronously written to the database.
