A company’s ecommerce website uses Amazon DynamoDB for purchase orders. Each order is made up of a Customer ID and an Order ID. The DynamoDB table uses the Customer ID as the partition key and the Order ID as the sort key.
To meet a new requirement, the company also wants the ability to query the table by using a third attribute named Invoice ID. Queries using the Invoice ID must be strongly consistent. A database specialist must provide this capability with optimal performance and minimal overhead.
What should the database administrator do to meet these requirements?
Correct Answer:
C
as Local secondary index can only be created while creating the Dynamodb table. and query needs to use third attribute on top of primary and sort key, so Local Secondary index has primary and sort key as well as the third attribute. Global secondary index can be created without primary and sort key

To minimize downtime, modify the Amazon RDS DB instance to a Multi-AZ deployment. For Multi-AZ deployments, OS maintenance is applied to the secondary instance first, then the instance fails over, and then the primary instance is updated. The downtime is during failover. For more information, see Maintenance for Multi-AZ Deployments. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/ The availability benefits of Multi-AZ also extend to planned maintenance. For example, with automated backups, I/O activity is no longer suspended on your primary during your preferred backup window, since backups are taken from the standby. In the case of patching or DB instance class scaling, these operations occur first on the standby, prior to automatic fail over. As a result, your availability impact is limited to the time required for automatic failover to complete.
