Question

A company needs to deploy an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB instance into multiple accounts. The company will initiate each DB instance from an existing Aurora PostgreSQL DB instance that runs in a shared account. The company wants the process to be repeatable in case the company adds additional accounts in the future. The company also wants to be able to verify if manual changes have been made to the DB instance configurations after the company deploys the DB instances. A database specialist has determined that the company needs to create an AWS CloudFormation template with the necessary configuration to create a DB instance in an account by using a snapshot of the existing DB instance to initialize the DB instance. The company will also use the CloudFormation template's parameters to provide key values for the DB instance creation (account ID, etc.). Which final step will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?

Options

  • ACreate a bash script to compare the configuration to the current DB instance configuration and to
  • BUse the CloudFormation drift detection feature to check if the DB instance configurations have
  • CSet up CloudFormation to use drift detection to send notifications if the DB instance
  • DCreate an AWS Lambda function to compare the configuration to the current DB instance
