AThe company will migrate the data to an Amazon Redshift cluster in the eu-west-1 Region of an AWS account named Account_B.
Which solution will give AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) the ability to replicate data between two data stores?

ASet up an AWS DMS replication instance in Account_B in eu-west-1.

BSet up an AWS DMS replication instance in Account_B in eu-east-1.

CSet up an AWS DMS replication instance in a new AWS account in eu-west-1

DSet up an AWS DMS replication instance in Account_A in eu-east-1.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, A

To migrate data from an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance in the eu-east-1 Region (Account_A) to an Amazon Redshift cluster in the eu-west-1 Region (Account_B), AWS DMS needs a replication instance located in the target region (in this case, eu-west-1) to facilitate the data transfer between regions.

Option A: Set up an AWS DMS replication instance in Account_B in eu-west-1. Placing the DMS replication instance in the target account and region (Account_B in eu-west-1) is the most efficient solution. The replication instance can connect to the source RDS PostgreSQL in eu-east-1 and migrate the data to the Redshift cluster in eu-west-1. This setup ensures data is replicated across AWS accounts and regions.

Options B, C, and D place the replication instance in either the wrong account or region, which increases complexity without adding any benefit.

Option B? Really? Why would you set up the DMS instance in a different region than the target Redshift cluster? That's just asking for trouble.

C) Setting up the DMS instance in a different region could definitely cause unnecessary complications.

A) Yeah, I agree. It's important to minimize latency and potential issues by keeping everything in the same region.

B) I think option A is the best choice. It makes more sense to have the DMS instance in the same region as the target Redshift cluster.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is trying to trick us. But I'm going with Option A anyway, can't go wrong with the obvious choice!

I agree, Option A is the way to go. Keeping everything within the same AWS account and region will make the migration process much smoother.

Option A seems the most logical choice. Setting up the DMS replication instance in the same account and region as the target Redshift cluster makes the most sense.
