AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - 2021 UPDATED! - Monitoring Lab

The video tutorial discusses various options for monitoring databases in AWS, focusing on basic monitoring metrics like CPU utilization and database connections. It explores solutions for performance issues, such as creating read replicas and clustering. The tutorial also introduces AWS Performance Insights for advanced monitoring and emphasizes best practices for database management, including backup and recovery plans.

What basic monitoring metrics are available for AWS RDS databases?

• Error rates, transaction logs, and backup frequency

• CPU utilization, database connections, and free storage space

• Network latency, disk fragmentation, and user activity logs

• Data encryption status, user permissions, and access logs

In the example scenario, what indicates a need for database performance optimization?

• Increased data redundancy and low memory usage

• Frequent network timeouts and slow query execution

• High CPU utilization and numerous database connections

• Low disk space and high error rates

What is a potential solution for handling high read traffic on a database?

• Reducing the number of database users

• Increasing the database storage size

• Implementing a caching layer

• Creating a read replica

What is the purpose of implementing clustering in a database?

• To reduce the number of database connections

• To enhance data encryption and security

• To improve performance during high-load operations

• To simplify database backup processes

When is it justifiable to use Performance Insights for database monitoring?

• When databases are small and have few users

• When databases are large and have many users

• When databases are frequently backed up

• When databases are used for testing purposes

What is the role of an architect in database management?

• To manage user access and permissions

• To design implementation, backup, and monitoring plans

• To perform all database operations manually

• To write all database queries and scripts

Which databases are compatible with Performance Insights?

• Oracle and SQL Server

• Postgres SQL and MySQL

• SQLite and MariaDB

• MongoDB and Cassandra
