Amazon Aurora Serverless for MySQL is a fully managed, auto-scaling relational database service that scales up or down automatically based on the application demand. This service provides all the capabilities of Amazon Aurora, such as high availability, durability, and security, without requiring the customer to provision any database instances. With Amazon Aurora Serverless for MySQL, the sales team can enjoy minimal downtime since the database is designed to automatically scale to accommodate the increased traffic. Additionally, the service allows the customer to pay only for the capacity used, making it cost-effective for infrequent access patterns. Amazon RDS for MySQL could also be an option, but it requires the customer to select an instance type, and the database administrator would need to monitor and adjust the instance size manually to accommodate the increasing traffic.

This option will scale up capacity faster in the morning to improve performance, but will still allow capacity to scale down during off hours. It achieves this as follows: • A target tracking action scales based on a CPU utilization target. By triggering at a lower CPU threshold in the morning, the Auto Scaling group will start scaling up sooner as traffic ramps up, launching instances before utilization gets too high and impacts performance. • Decreasing the cooldown period allows Auto Scaling to scale more aggressively, launching more instances faster until the target is reached. This speeds up the ramp-up of capacity. • However, unlike a scheduled action to set a fixed minimum/maximum capacity, with target tracking the group can still scale down during off hours based on demand. This helps minimize costs.

Frequent feature testing -

- Multiple Elastic Beanstalk environments can be created easily for development, testing and production use cases.

- Traffic can be routed between environments for A/B testing and feature iteration using simple URL swapping techniques. No complex routing rules or infrastructure changes required.

This answer is correct because it provides a resilient and durable replacement for the on-premises file share that is compatible with a serverless web application. Amazon S3 is a fully managed object storage service that can store any amount of data and serve it over the internet. It supports the following features:

• Resilience: Amazon S3 stores data across multiple Availability Zones within a Region, and offers 99.999999999% (11 9’s) of durability. It also supports cross-region replication, which enables automatic and asynchronous copying of objects across buckets in different AWS Regions.
• Durability: Amazon S3 encrypts data at rest using server-side encryption with either Amazon S3-managed keys (SSE-S3), AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS), or customer-provided keys (SSE-C). It also supports encryption in transit using SSL/TLS. Amazon S3 also provides data protection features such as versioning, which keeps multiple versions of an object in the same bucket, and MFA Delete, which requires additional authentication for deleting an object version or changing the versioning state of a bucket.
• Performance: Amazon S3 delivers high performance and scalability for serving static and dynamic web content. It also supports features such as S3 Transfer Acceleration, which speeds up data transfers by routing requests to AWS edge locations, and S3 Select, which enables retrieving only a subset of data from an object by using simple SQL expressions.

The S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class is suitable for storing images that are rarely accessed, but must be immediately available when needed. It offers the same high durability, throughput, and low latency as S3 Standard, but with a lower storage cost per GB and a higher per-request cost.
