Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 754 discussion

BBB --- Key words: "A solutions architect PLANS to use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool and AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) for the migration" so running the conversion report for Oracle to Aurora MySQL hasn't been done yet https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/sbs/chap-rdsoracle2aurora.html A: AWS actually recommends to: "drop primary key indexes, secondary indexes, referential integrity constraints, and data manipulation language (DML) triggers. Or you can delay their creation until after the full load tasks are complete" --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_BestPractices.html C: M5 doesn't exist --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_ReplicationInstance.Types.html D: You can't disable automated backups on Aurora. The backup retention period for Aurora is managed by the DB cluster --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Managing.Backups.html

Following the replies here it seems that no answer can be correct (see tgv + Jupi) My guess: there is a typo in answer B - it should be AWS SCT in the first part of the answer. Then it all makes sense.

I'll go with B, but It seems like the answers don't match the question or there are some typos or mistakes. I think the first tool in B should be SCT.

It seems like the answers don't match the question or there are some typos or mistakes

B is my answer

It's D.

B. Use AWS SCT to run the conversion report for Oracle to Aurora MySQL. Remediate any issues. Then use AWS DMS to migrate the data.

B is right

The first tool in B should be SCT, then B will be the answer. Anyway this is the simplest migration question i've met so far ,hope I can have it in my exam

It's B

I will go for B

GUYS, You can't disable automated backups on Aurora https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Managing.Backups.html It cannot be D

Only D seems to make sense.

A - Incorrect This will be done by DMS by default. B - Incorrect - Conversion reports are by Schema Conversion tool C - Incorrect AWS DMS creates the replication instance on an Amazon EC2 instance. AWS DMS currently supports the T2, T3, C4, C5, R4, and R5 Amazon EC2 instance classes for replication instances: D - Correct. This will ensure migration is faster.

OK the most sound is D.

D - When migrating to an Amazon RDS database, it's a good idea to turn off backups and Multi-AZ on the target until you're ready to cut over. Similarly, when migrating to systems other than Amazon RDS, turning off any logging on the target until after cutover is usually a good idea. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_BestPractices.html
