For the upcoming test cycle, they intend to establish a new DB instance using Amazon Aurora, compatible with MySQL. Identify the two viable methods to create this new instance from the backups.
Explanation:
The correct answers are A and D. Option A is correct because Amazon RDS snapshots can be directly imported into Amazon Aurora. Option D is also correct because AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) can be used to import RDS snapshots into Amazon Aurora, making both approaches valid for creating a new DB instance from the backups. Options B, C, and E involve extra unnecessary steps or are incorrect methodologies for this specific task.
