DBS-C01 Deployment and Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating an on-premises Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. They want to use Oracle GoldenGate for replication. Which AWS service can be used to simplify the setup of GoldenGate on AWS?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse AWS DMS (a managed migration service) with Oracle GoldenGate, or assume that Amazon RDS for Oracle natively supports GoldenGate as a feature, when in fact GoldenGate must be run on a separate EC2 instance or on-premises.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Marketplace
AWS Marketplace offers pre-configured Oracle GoldenGate AMIs that simplify the setup and deployment of GoldenGate on EC2, reducing the manual installation and configuration effort. This is the correct choice because the question asks for a service that simplifies the setup of GoldenGate itself, not the migration tool or infrastructure orchestration.
