Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 465 discussion

A company has an application that uses Amazon DynamoDB tables. The tables are spread across AWS accounts and AWS Regions. The company uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy AWS resources.

A new team at the company is deleting unused AWS resources. The team accidentally deletes several production DynamoDB tables by running an AWS Lambda function that makes a DynamoDB DeleteTable API call. The table deletions cause an application outage.

A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that minimizes the chance of accidental deletions of tables. The solution also must minimize data loss that results from accidental deletions.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  • A. Enable termination protection for the CloudFormation stacks that deploy the DynamoDB tables.
  • B. Enable deletion protection for the DynamoDB tables.
  • C. Enable point-in-time recovery for the DynamoDB tables. Restore the tables if they are accidentally deleted.
  • D. Schedule daily backups of the DynamoDB tables. Restore the tables if they are accidentally deleted.
  • E. Export the DynamoDB tables to Amazon S3 every day. Use Import from Amazon S3 to restore data for tables that are accidentally deleted.

A. Enable termination protection for the CloudFormation stacks: Termination protection prevents the deletion of CloudFormation stacks, which in turn protects the DynamoDB tables created by the stack. C. Enable point-in-time recovery for the DynamoDB tables: Point-in-time recovery (PITR) allows you to restore DynamoDB tables to any point in the last 35 days. If tables are accidentally deleted, PITR minimizes data loss by enabling recovery up to the moment before the deletion.

1) Termination protection prevents the deletion of CloudFormation stacks for only NEW stacks. Q asking for all. 2) Dynamo DB now has Delete protection (from 2023)

Shouldn't it be A and C?... C seems to be obviously correct but for A, the question does mention that all the AWS resources are deployed via AWS Cloudformation stacks...Any suggestions here?
