Restoring from a manual snapshot involves selecting the snapshot, configuring the new instance, and waiting for completion.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Select the manual snapshot from the list, then configure the new DB instance details, then initiate the restore, then wait for the restore to complete.
Why this is correct
This ordering follows the required workflow: you must first select the snapshot, then specify the new instance settings, launch the restore, and finally wait for completion.
- ✗
Configure the new DB instance details, then select the manual snapshot from the list, then initiate the restore, then wait for the restore to complete.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration options become available only after selecting the snapshot. Attempting to configure before selection is not possible in the RDS console.
- ✗
Select the manual snapshot from the list, then initiate the restore, then configure the new DB instance details, then wait for the restore to complete.
Why it's wrong here
Initiation is the step after configuration; you cannot start the restore without specifying instance settings. This order would skip necessary configuration.
- ✗
Wait for the restore to complete, then select the manual snapshot from the list, then configure the new DB instance details, then initiate the restore.
Why it's wrong here
Waiting for completion must occur after initiation. Starting with waiting is illogical and wastes time.
