For an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster, a company requires a 5-year data retention policy with automatic deletion after the period and indefinite retention of audit logs. What steps should be implemented to meet these requirements?
Explanation:
To meet the requirements of storing data for 5 years and deleting it afterward, while retaining audit logs indefinitely, the best approach is to use AWS Backup and set up a lifecycle policy. Specifically, option B (Create a lifecycle policy for the automated backups) enables the management of backup retention policies, and option E (Utilize AWS Backup for managing backup retention) provides comprehensive backup and retention management functionality. Options A, C, and D either don't fully address the retention and deletion requirements or are not as efficient for the given scenario.
