Question

A company has a production Amazon RDS for MySQL database. The company needs to create a new application that will read frequently changing data from the database with minimal impact on the database's overall performance. The application will rarely perform the same query more than once. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Options

  • ASet up an Amazon ElastiCache cluster. Query the results in the cluster.
  • BSet up an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Query the results in the ALB.
  • CSet up a read replica for the database. Query the read replica.
  • DSet up querying of database snapshots. Query the database snapshots.

Explanation

Amazon RDS read replicas provide a way to offload read traffic from the primary database, allowing read-intensive applications to query the replica without impacting the performance of the production (write) database. This is especially effective for workloads that involve frequently changing data but do not benefit from caching, since queries are rarely repeated.
