AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 108

Question

A SysOps administrator is designing a solution for an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance. Database credentials must be stored and rotated monthly. The applications that connect to the DB instance send write-intensive traffic with variable client connections that sometimes increase significantly in a short period of time. Which solution should a SysOps administrator choose to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure AWS Secrets Manager to automatically rotate the credentials for the DB instance. Use RDS Proxy to handle the increases in database connections. Amazon RDS Proxy pools and shares database connections to improve scalability and resilience. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS Secrets Manager stores and automatically rotates secrets such as database credentials.
