Question
A company runs a web application that uses Amazon RDS for MySQL to store relational data. Data in the database does not change frequently. A solutions architect notices that during peak usage times, the database has performance issues when it serves the data. The company wants to improve the performance of the database. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
Options
- AIntegrate AWS WAF with the application.
- BCreate a read replica for the database. Redirect read traffic to the read replica.
- CCreate an Amazon ElastiCache (Memcached) cluster. Configure the application and the database
- DUse the Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) storage class to store the
- EMigrate the database to Amazon DynamoDB. Configure the application to use the DynamoDB

Explanation
To improve read performance for a MySQL-based RDS database under load, you can: Use Read Replicas: Amazon RDS supports MySQL read replicas, which help offload read operations from the primary database, improving performance during high traffic. Use ElastiCache (Memcached): Adding an in-memory cache layer using Amazon ElastiCache reduces the load on the RDS instance by serving frequent queries directly from memory, especially when data is not updated often. Option A (AWS WAF) is for web security, not database performance. Option D relates to storage optimization, not query latency. Option E would require re-architecting from relational to NoSQL, which is unnecessary and
