What should the company do to meet these requirements?
Deploy MySQL database server clusters on Amazon EC2 instances.
Use Amazon RDS with a MySQL database.
Use an AWS CloudFormation template to deploy MySQL database servers on Amazon EC2 instances.
Migrate all the MySQL database data to Amazon S3.
Explanations:
Deploying MySQL on Amazon EC2 requires manual management of backups, patching, and snapshots. These tasks are not automated and would require additional setup and maintenance.
Amazon RDS automates backups, patching, and other maintenance tasks, making it the best option for handling MySQL database server management with minimal manual intervention.
While AWS CloudFormation can automate the deployment of MySQL on EC2 instances, it still requires manual management of backups, patching, and snapshots, which is not fully automated compared to Amazon RDS.
Amazon S3 is used for object storage, not for managing databases. Migrating MySQL data to S3 does not provide database management or automation features like patching or backup snapshots.
