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
✓
Use multiple parallel DMS tasks to improve throughput
Using parallel tasks improves throughput. Validating data after migration ensures consistency. Disabling foreign keys may cause data integrity issues. Using largest instance type may not be cost-effective. Using CDC reduces downtime.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use multiple parallel DMS tasks to improve throughput
Why this is correct
Parallel tasks increase performance.
- ✗
Disable foreign key constraints on the target database during migration to speed up the load
Why it's wrong here
Disabling constraints can lead to orphaned records.
- ✗
Use the largest DMS replication instance to maximize performance
Why it's wrong here
Largest instance may be unnecessary; right-sizing is better.
- ✓
Enable validation on the DMS task to ensure data consistency after migration
Why this is correct
Validation catches data mismatches.
- ✗
Migrate while the source database is fully active without any downtime
Why it's wrong here
Ongoing changes require CDC; this statement is too general.
