Which set of actions should the team take?

A development team has created a new flight tracker application that provides near-real-time data to users. The application has a front end that consists of an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in front of two large Amazon EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone. Data is stored in a single Amazon RDS MySQL DB instance. An Amazon Route 53 DNS record points to the ALB.

Management wants the development team to improve the solution to achieve maximum reliability with the least amount of operational overhead.

Which set of actions should the team take?
A . Create RDS MySQL read replicas. Deploy the application to multiple AWS Regions. Use a Route 53 latency-based routing policy to route to the application.
B. Configure the DB instance as Multi-AZ. Deploy the application to two additional EC2 instances in different Availability Zones behind an ALB.
C. Replace the DB instance with Amazon DynamoDB global tables. Deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions. Use a Route 53 latency-based routing policy to route to the application.
D. Replace the DB instance with Amazon Aurora with Aurora Replicas. Deploy the application to mulliple smaller EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones in an Auto Scaling group behind an ALB.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Multi AZ ASG + ALB + Aurora = Less over head and automatic scaling
