Question

A company has multiple Amazon RDS DB instances that run in a development AWS account. All the instances have tags to identify them as development resources. The company needs the development DB instances to run on a schedule only during business hours. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that invokes AWS Lambda functions to start and stop the RDS instances. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. Amazon EventBridge routes events between services with rules, enabling event-driven, decoupled architectures.
