Question

A company has deployed an application that uses an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB cluster. The DB cluster uses three read replicas. The primary DB instance is an 8XL-sized instance, and the read replicas are each XL-sized instances. Users report that database queries are returning stale data. The replication lag indicates that the replicas are 5 minutes behind the primary DB instance. Status queries on the replicas show that the SQL_THREAD is 10 binlogs behind the IO_THREAD and that the IO_THREAD is 1 binlog behind the primary. Which changes will reduce the lag? (Choose two.)

Options

  • ADeploy two additional read replicas matching the existing replica DB instance size.
  • BMigrate the primary DB instance to an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster and add three Aurora
  • CMove the read replicas to the same Availability Zone as the primary DB instance.
  • DIncrease the instance size of the primary DB instance within the same instance class.
  • EIncrease the instance size of the read replicas to the same size and class as the primary DB
