What should the database specialist do to improve the performance of the application immediately?

  • A. Increase the Provisioned IOPS rate on the storage.
  • B. Increase the available storage space.

Ans - A Getting the best performance from Amazon RDS Provisioned IOPS SSD storage: If your workload is I/O constrained, using Provisioned IOPS SSD storage can increase the number of I/O requests that the system can process concurrently. Increased concurrency allows for decreased latency because I/O requests spend less time in a queue. Decreased latency allows for faster database commits, which improves response time and allows for higher database throughput. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_Storage.html

I think both A and D are correct but as last line of question says we want immediate improvement then A should be answer as read replica creation will take some time.
