Domain 1: Workload-Specific Database Design

Task Statement 1.1: Select appropriate database services for specific types of data and workloads.

• Differentiate between workloads in ACID and BASE.
• Explain the appropriate uses for relational, time series, document, key-value, in-memory, graph, and ledger databases, among other database types.
• Ascertain the uses for data that are both transient and permanent.

Task Statement 1.2: Determine strategies for disaster recovery and high availability.

• Select Region and Availability Zone placement to optimize database performance.
• Determine implications of Regions and Availability Zones on disaster recovery and high availability strategies.
• Differentiate use cases for read replicas and Multi-AZ deployments.

Task Statement 1.3: Design database solutions for performance, compliance, and scalability.

• Suggest serverless database architecture as opposed to instance-based database architecture.
• Assess the prerequisites for expanding read replicas.
• Describe database caching techniques.
• Analyze the effects of indexing, sharding, and partitioning.
• Identify suitable instance types and storage alternatives.
• Assess the ability of relational and NoSQL databases to scale automatically.
• Identify the consequences of the adaptive capacity of Amazon DynamoDB.
• Assess the localization of data in accordance with compliance mandates.

Task Statement 1.4: Compare the costs of database solutions.

• Assess the financial consequences of DynamoDB capacity units, taking into account the difference between planned and on-demand capacity.
• Find out how much instance types and automatic scaling will cost.
• High availability, backups, multi-region, multi-AZ, and storage type options should all be considered while designing for costs.
• Assess the costs of data access.

Domain 2: Deployment and Migration

Task Statement 2.1: Automate database solution deployments.

• Assess the needs of the application to decide which components to install.
• Select suitable deployment resources and tools (such as AWS CloudFormation and AWS CLI).

Task Statement 2.2: Determine data preparation and migration strategies.

• Choose a data migration technique (such as snapshots, replication, or restore).
• Assess database migration services and tools (such as native database tools and the AWS Database Migration Service [AWS DMS]).
• Set up targets and data sources.
• Choose techniques for converting schemas, such as the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT).
• Identify migration tactics that are heterogeneous as opposed to homogeneous.

Task Statement 2.3: Perform and validate data migration.

• Plan and execute data migration scripts.
• Execute scripts for data migration and extraction.
• Confirm that the data load was successful.

Domain 3: Management and Operations

Task Statement 3.1: Determine maintenance tasks and processes.

• Consider the shared responsibility paradigm for database services offered by AWS.
• Identify suitable strategies for the maintenance window.
• Make a distinction between significant and minor engine changes.

Task Statement 3.2: Determine backup and restore strategies.

• Determine whether manual and automatic backups and snapshots are necessary.
• Differentiate backup and restore strategies (e.g., encrypted backups between regions, point-in-time backups, and full backups).
• Establish retention guidelines.
• Connect the recovery point objective (RPO) with the backup and restore.
• requirements for the recovery time target (RTO).

Task Statement 3.3: Manage the operational environment of a database solution.

•  Manage the repurposing of lower environments.
• Apply configuration modifications (as in Amazon RDS option groups, for instance).
• and parameter groups (or modifications to DynamoDB indexing). Automate work-related duties.  Act on reports from AWS Trusted Advisors requirements for the recovery time target (RTO).

Domain 4: Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Task Statement 4.1: Determine monitoring and alerting strategies.

• Assess observation instruments (like Amazon RDS and CloudWatch, for instance).
• Native database insights and performance.
• Establish suitable parameters and thresholds for alert circumstances. Employ instruments to alert users when thresholds are exceeded (e.g., Amazon).
• Amazon Simple Queue Service and Amazon Simple Notification Service
• [Amazon SQS], dashboards from CloudWatch).

  Task Statement 4.2: Troubleshoot and resolve common database issues.

• Determine, assess, and address various failure categories (e.g.,Diagnose and fix issues with storage, partitioning, and connection.
• Automate answers wherever it’s feasible.

Task Statement 4.3: Optimize database performance.

• Investigate problems with database performance.
• Determine whether AWS services and tools are suitable for optimizing databases.
• Assess the infrastructure, queries, schema design, and setup in order to boost efficiency.

Domain 5: Database Security

Task Statement 5.1: Encrypt data at rest and in transit.

• In NoSQL and relational databases, encrypt data.
• Give databases SSL connectivity.
• Use key management (AWS CloudHSM and AWS Key Management Service [AWS KMS] are two examples).

• Give permission for database logs to be exported to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

 Task Statement 5.3: Determine access control and authentication mechanisms.

• Suggest implementing authentication controls for roles and users (like IAM, native login information, and Active Directory).
