A company hosts a large on-premises MySQL database at its main office that supports an issue tracking system used by employees around the world. The company already uses AWS for some workloads and has created an Amazon Route 53 entry for the database endpoint that points to the on-premises database. Management is concerned about the database being a single point of failure and wants a solutions architect to migrate the database to AWS without any data loss or downtime.
Which set of actions should the solutions architect implement?

1. A. Create an Amazon Aurora DB cluste
2. B. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to do a full load from the on-premises database lo Auror
3. C. Update the Route 53 entry for the database to point to the Aurora cluster endpoin
4. D. and shut down the on-premises database.
5. E. During nonbusiness hours, shut down the on-premises database and create a backu
6. F. Restore this backup to an Amazon Aurora DB cluste
7. G. When the restoration is complete, update the Route 53 entry for the database to point to the Aurora cluster endpoint, and shut down the on-premises database.
8. H. Create an Amazon Aurora DB cluste
9. I. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to do a full load with continuous replication from the on-premises database to Auror
10. J. When the migration is complete, update the Route 53 entry for the database to point to the Aurora cluster endpoint, and shut down the on-premises database.
11. K. Create a backup of the database and restore it to an Amazon Aurora multi-master cluste
12. L. This Aurora cluster will be in a master-master replication configuration with the on-premises databas
13. M. Update the Route 53 entry for the database to point to the Aurora cluster endpoin
14. N. and shut down the on-premises database.

Correct Answer: C
“Around the world” eliminates possibility for the maintenance window at night. The other difference is ability to leverage continuous replication in MySQL to Aurora case.

1. A. Create CloudFormation templates and re-use parts of the Python scripts as instance user dat
2. B. Use the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) to deploy the application using these template
3. C. Incorporate the AWS CDK into CodePipeline and deploy the application to AWS using these templates.
4. D. Use a third-party resource provisioning engine inside AWS CodeBuild to standardize the deployment processes of the existing and acquired compan
5. E. Orchestrate the CodeBuild job using CodePipeline.
6. F. Standardize on AWS OpsWork
7. G. Integrate OpsWorks with CodePipelin
8. H. Have the developers create Chef recipes to deploy their applications on AWS.
9. I. Define the AWS resources using Typescript or Pytho
10. J. Use the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) to create CloudFormation templates from the developers' code, and use the AWS CDK to create CloudFormation stack
11. K. Incorporate the AWS CDK as a CodeBuild job in CodePipeline.
