Overview of this book

The AWS Certified Database – Specialty certification is one of the most challenging AWS certifications. It validates your comprehensive understanding of databases, including the concepts of design, migration, deployment, access, maintenance, automation, monitoring, security, and troubleshooting. With this guide, you'll understand how to use various AWS databases, such as Aurora Serverless and Global Database, and even services such as Redshift and Neptune. You’ll start with an introduction to the AWS databases, and then delve into workload-specific database design. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn about migrating and deploying the databases, along with database security techniques such as encryption, auditing, and access controls. This AWS book will also cover monitoring, troubleshooting, and disaster recovery techniques, before testing all the knowledge you've gained throughout the book with the help of mock tests. By the end of this book, you'll have covered everything you need to pass the DBS-C01 AWS certification exam and have a handy, on-the-job desk reference guide.

Creating a separate UAT database is the best option and, therefore, a PITR recovery in a different region is the best solution.

Using DynamoDB Streams and Lambda is a very complicated solution.

Using Glue would likely not work for the migration.

Adding Global Tables would mean that changes made by testing would be written to the production database and, therefore, this doesn't meet the needs of the business.

You cannot modify parameters at the RDS instance level using SET, so this isn't correct.

You cannot modify the parameters in the default parameter group.
