Exam AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 topic 1 question 6 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02
Question #: 6
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 Questions]

A company has an application that uses dozens of Amazon DynamoDB tables to store data. Auditors find that the tables do not comply with the company's data protection policy.
The company's retention policy states that all data must be backed up twice each month: once at midnight on the 15th day of the month and again at midnight on the 25th day of the month. The company must retain the backups for 3 months.
Which combination of steps should a security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  • A. Use the DynamoDB on-demand backup capability to create a backup plan. Configure a lifecycle policy to expire backups after 3 months.
  • B. Use AWS DataSync to create a backup plan. Add a backup rule that includes a retention period of 3 months.
  • C. Use AWS Backup to create a backup plan. Add a backup rule that includes a retention period of 3 months.
  • D. Set the backup frequency by using a cron schedule expression. Assign each DynamoDB table to the backup plan.
  • E. Set the backup frequency by using a rate schedule expression. Assign each DynamoDB table to the backup plan.

Selected Answer: AC
Explanation: AWS Backup (Option C) is the most suitable solution as it allows you to automate DynamoDB backups on specific schedules (like the 15th and 25th of each month) and ensures that backup retention policies (3 months) are met. On-demand backups (Option A) can be used as an alternative, but AWS Backup provides a more streamlined, integrated solution for managing backups and retention policies at scale.

While DynamoDB on-demand backup does offer a way to manually create backups, it does not support automated backup scheduling and lifecycle management in the same flexible way that AWS Backup does. Therefore, using on-demand backup wouldn’t fully meet the requirement of automating the process based on the specified schedule (15th and 25th of each month).

C, & D. Note that the cron expression is not a cron job but a term describing how the AWS backup plan configuration.

D might work but the exam always wants you to choose native solutions if possible. Avoid things like manually configuring a cron job. that's why i think the answer is AC.

A C What happened to DynamoDB on-demand backup?

DynamoDB's Backup function is only 0 days ~ 35 days. So, Backup from Outside like Lambda or AWS Backup is fine for this requirement.

Wrong! https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/BackupRestore.html It explicitly says "You can use the DynamoDB on-demand backup capability to create full backups of your tables for long-term retention," LONG TERM RETENTION.
