Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, B

Amazon RDS Performance Insights supports retention periods of 7 days and 1 year for storing performance data, depending on the configuration and edition. The default retention is 7 days for standard monitoring, while enabling enhanced monitoring or the Performance Insights extended retention feature allows data to be retained for up to 1 year. The WGU Cloud Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 7.2, Performance Insights) states, 'Performance Insights offers a 7-day retention period by default, with an option to extend to 1 year for detailed historical analysis, supporting cost and performance optimization.' Options A (1 day) and D (2 years) are not supported retention periods.

I agree with 7 days, but I’m not sure about the other one. Maybe 30 days?

I’m leaning towards 1 day and 7 days. Shorter periods are easier to manage.

I definitely remember 7 days being one of the options, but the second one is a bit fuzzy. Could it be 60 days?

I remember practicing a question about retention periods, and I think it was 7 days and 1 day. Does that sound right?

I think Performance Insights supports a 7-day retention period, but I'm not sure about the other one. Maybe it's 30 days?

Okay, I've got a strategy. I'll eliminate the options that don't sound right, then choose the two that seem most likely.
