PCDE Practice Question: Manage a solution that can span multiple database technologies

An organization is using Memorystore for Redis and needs to ensure that when memory usage reaches the maximum, the cache evicts keys based on the least recently used (LRU) algorithm among keys with an expiry set. They also want to require password authentication for client connections. Which two configurations should be applied? (Choose TWO.)

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

Configure the AUTH password in the Memorystore instance

The eviction policy 'volatile-lru' evicts keys with an expiry set using LRU. AUTH is configured by setting a password via the Redis AUTH command or in the Memorystore instance settings.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Configure the AUTH password in the Memorystore instance

    Why this is correct

    AUTH password is set in Memorystore to require authentication.

  • Set maxmemory-policy to 'allkeys-lru'

    Why it's wrong here

    allkeys-lru evicts any key, not just those with expiry.

  • Enable TLS for encryption

    Why it's wrong here

    TLS is for encryption in transit, not authentication.

  • Set maxmemory-policy to 'volatile-lru'

    Why this is correct

    volatile-lru evicts only keys with an expiry set, using LRU.

  • Enable persistence with AOF

    Why it's wrong here

    Persistence is not required for eviction or auth.
