A company has a set of DynamoDB tables. They have requested you as the SysOps Administrator to ensure that backups are available for the tables for compliance purposes. How can you enable this in the easiest way possible?

Answer options:

A.Create on-demand backups for Amazon DynamoDB tables.
B.Create a cron job to copy the data from one table to a backup table.
C.Create EBS snapshots for the volumes holding the data.
D.Enable DAX for the DynamoDB table.

Correct Answer: A
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
Amazon DynamoDB provides the on-demand backup capability. It allows you to create full backups of your tables for long-term retention and archival for regulatory compliance needs. You can back up and restore your table data anytime with a single click on the AWS Management Console or with a single API call. Backup and restore actions run with zero impact on table performance or availability.
Option B is incorrect since this would not be the ideal approach, too much maintenance would be involved.
Option C is incorrect since DynamoDB does not give you access to the underlying infrastructure.
Option D is incorrect since DAX is just a distractor in the question, it is used to decrease the latency to access data.
