Definitely not B, that seems unnecessary.

Wait, can you really just delete DB-2? Sounds risky.

Just bring DB-1 back online, right?

I don't recall us covering promoting a new read replica like DB-4 in this context, so I think that option might be a distraction.

I feel like we discussed the importance of keeping the primary instance intact, so option A seems like it could be correct, but I’m not 100% confident.

I remember a practice question where we had to delete a replica to revert to the primary, so maybe deleting DB-2 could work here?

I think we might need to bring DB-1 back online first, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right step.

I think the key here is that we want to return to the pre-test configuration. That means bringing DB-1 back online and making it the primary instance again. The other options don't seem to achieve that.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Can we really just bring DB-1 back online, or do we need to do something else to restore the original setup? I want to make sure I understand this properly.

Okay, let's see. We need to return to the pre-test configuration, so deleting DB-2 or creating a new replica doesn't seem right. I'm leaning towards bringing DB-1 back online.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I need to think through the options carefully to make sure I don't miss anything.

This seems straightforward - I think the answer is to just bring DB-1 back online since it was the primary instance before the test.

This seems straightforward enough. The question is asking for two valid ways to issue the traceSBC command, so I'll choose the two options that seem the most direct and appropriate.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. I'll need to review my notes on logistic regression to make sure I understand the potential issues with this approach.
