The company's Database Specialist discovered that the Oracle database is storing 100 GB of large binary objects (LOBs) across multiple tables. The Oracle database has a maximum LOB size of 500 MB with an average LOB size of 350 MB. The Database Specialist has chosen AWS DMS to migrate the data with the largest replication instances. How should the Database Specialist optimize the database migration using AWS DMS?

Explanation

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_BestPractices.html#CHAP_BestPracti "AWS DMS migrates LOB data in two phases: 1. AWS DMS creates a new row in the target table and populates the row with all data except the associated LOB value. 2. AWS DMS updates the row in the target table with the LOB data." This means that we would need two tasks, one per phase and use limited LOB mode for best performance.
