Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 348 discussion

A company collects data from a large number of participants who use wearable devices. The company stores the data in an Amazon DynamoDB table and uses applications to analyze the data. The data workload is constant and predictable. The company wants to stay at or below its forecasted budget for DynamoDB.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  • A. Use provisioned mode and DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access (DynamoDB Standard-IA). Reserve capacity for the forecasted workload.
  • B. Use provisioned mode. Specify the read capacity units (RCUs) and write capacity units (WCUs).
  • C. Use on-demand mode. Set the read capacity units (RCUs) and write capacity units (WCUs) high enough to accommodate changes in the workload.
  • D. Use on-demand mode. Specify the read capacity units (RCUs) and write capacity units (WCUs) with reserved capacity.

Selected Answer: B
C and D are impossible because you don't set or specify RCUs and WCUs in on-demand mode. A is wrong because there is no indication of "infrequent access", and "the data workload is constant", there is no different between the current and the "forecasted" workload.

I think it is not possible to set Read Capacity Units(RCU)/Write Capacity Units(WCU) in on-demand mode.

predictable/constant => provisioned mode. On-demand mode is more suitable for workloads that are unpredictable and can vary widely from minute to minute. The use case is not for Standard-IA which is described here: https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/standard-ia/ => Option B

I rule out A because of this 'Standard-Infrequent Access ', clearly the company uses applications to analyze the data. The data workload is constant and predictable making provisioned mode the best option.

Option B lacks the cost benefits of Standard-IA. Option C uses more expensive on-demand pricing. Option D does not actually allow reserving capacity with on-demand mode. So option A leverages provisioned mode, Standard-IA, and reserved capacity to meet the requirements in a cost-optimal way.

Sorry, A will not work, since Reserved Capacity can only be used with DynamoDB Standard table class. So, B is right for this case.

Option C is the most cost-effective solution for this scenario. In on-demand mode, DynamoDB automatically scales up or down based on the current workload, so the company only pays for the capacity it uses. By setting the RCUs and WCUs high enough to accommodate changes in the workload, the company can ensure that it always has the necessary capacity without overprovisioning and incurring unnecessary costs. Since the workload is constant and predictable, using provisioned mode with reserved capacity (Options A and D) may result in paying for unused capacity during periods of low demand. Option B, using provisioned mode without reserved capacity, may result in throttling during periods of high demand if the provisioned capacity is not sufficient to handle the workload.

You can't 'set RCUs and WCUs' in on-demand mode.

"The data workload is constant and predictable." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/serverless-applications-lens/capacity.html "With provisioned capacity you pay for the provision of read and write capacity units for your DynamoDB tables. Whereas with DynamoDB on-demand you pay per request for the data reads and writes that your application performs on your tables."

The data workload is constant and predictable, then, isn't on-demand mode. DynamoDB Standard-IA is not necessary in this context
