A large company has a variety of Amazon DB clusters.Each of these clusters has various configurations that adhere to various requirements.Depending on the team and use case, these configurations can be organized into broader categories.A database administrator wants to make the process of storing and modifying these parameters more systematic.The database administrator also wants to ensure that changes to individual categories of configurations are automatically applied to all instances when required.

Which AWS service or feature will help automate and achieve this objective?

AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store

DB parameter group

AWS Config

AWS Secrets Manager

Explanations:

AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store is used to store configuration data, such as secrets or application settings, but it doesn’t directly manage database configurations or apply changes to instances automatically.

DB parameter groups in Amazon RDS allow administrators to manage database configurations in a systematic way. Changes made to a DB parameter group are automatically applied to all RDS instances that are associated with that group, which fits the requirement perfectly.

AWS Config monitors and records configuration changes for AWS resources but does not directly manage or apply changes to RDS database configurations. It is not designed for automatically applying configuration updates to resources.

AWS Secrets Manager is primarily used to store and manage secrets like database credentials, API keys, etc. It does not handle database parameter configuration or automate their changes across RDS instances.
