Aurora Global Database is designed for low-latency cross-Region reads and disaster recovery for relational data.

Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) automatically replicates unstructured data to another Region, ensuring high availability and resilience.

“Aurora Global Database replicates your data with typical latency of less than 1 second to secondary AWS Regions.”

“Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication automatically replicates every object uploaded to your bucket to a destination bucket in another AWS Region.”

— Aurora Global Database

— S3 Cross-Region Replication

This combination meets the multi-Region, high availability, fault-tolerant requirement for both relational and unstructured data.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with Babelfish allows Aurora to understand SQL Server T-SQL and the SQL Server wire protocol. This enables applications to continue using SQL Server drivers, minimizing code changes (Option B).

Migration of schema and data is performed using AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) (Option C), which is the AWS-recommended migration pattern for heterogeneous database migrations.

AWS DMS (Option E) does not rewrite application SQL.

RDS Proxy (Option D) does not translate SQL Server protocols.

Option A requires rewriting application queries, which contradicts the “minimal changes” requirement.

AWS Lambda supports encrypting environment variables at rest using AWS KMS. You can use encryption helpers (or Lambda’s built-in support) to encrypt sensitive environment variable values using a KMS key. These encrypted variables are not visible in plaintext to developers, either in the console or when running the code.

AWS Documentation Extract:

" AWS Lambda automatically encrypts environment variables at rest. For additional security, you can use AWS KMS keys and encryption helpers to encrypt environment variables, ensuring they are never exposed in plaintext. "

(Source: AWS Lambda documentation, Environment Variables Security)

A: Does not address the issue (and adds more management overhead).

B, C: There is no native support for environment variable encryption via CloudHSM or ACM.
