A. only if it is configured.

A. Only if configured as said above, and Chef’s link actually shows this too. However it’s not just RDS: it’s Route 53 as well, in which case the notification of failover involves Cloudwatch but in the end SNS still needs to be configured to get the alert.

Only if SNS configured, even its RDS you have to configure SNS to receive the alerts

A. I think We only get alert on failover if we configure the SNS Notification. Answer would be A

Q: Will I be alerted when automatic failover occurs?

Yes, Amazon RDS will emit a DB Instance event to inform you that automatic failover occurred. You can click the “Events” section of the Amazon RDS Console or use the DescribeEvents API to return information about events related to your DB Instance. You can also use Amazon RDS Event Notifications to be notified when specific DB events occur.

so for RDS it is option C.

1.You can click the “Events” section of the Amazon RDS Console
2.use the DescribeEvents API to return information about events related to your DB InstanceYou 3.can ALSO use Amazon RDS Event Notifications to be notified

based on above text, failover can be known in 3 ways why must we use SNS be alerted ? Can also be alerted via DescribeEvents API regular checks.

The answer is A.

Amazon RDS uses the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to provide notification when an Amazon RDS event occurs.

Amazon RDS groups these events into categories that you can subscribe to so that you can be notified when an event in that category occurs. You can subscribe to an event category for a DB instance, DB snapshot, DB security group, or for a DB parameter group. For example, if you subscribe to the Backup category for a given DB instance, you will be notified whenever a backup-related event occurs that affects the DB instance. If you subscribe to a Configuration Change category for a DB security group, you will be notified when the DB security group is changed. You will also receive notification when an event notification subscription changes.

A is the right answer.

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_Events.html

Amazon RDS uses the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to provide notification when an Amazon RDS event occurs. These notifications can be in any notification form supported by Amazon SNS for an AWS region, such as an email, a text message, or a call to an HTTP endpoint.

Amazon RDS groups these events into categories that you can subscribe to so that you can be notified when an event in that category occurs.

C is not correct because even though event is created by RDS you will not be alerted for it unless you configure your subscription in SNS.

From the article we can see that using SNS is an optional choice however you can see the event in the “Events” section

Answer is A
I tested it in the RDS console
when you create an event subscription it uses SNS to send you the notification, also by default you don’t get a notification it has to be set up

See Site reference and explanation by Vladam

Should be A.
By default, you can’t be alerted automatically when failover occurs

The answer os “C”.

Be careful, the question is about “RDS Alert”, not “RDS Notification”. In the case of a failover, RDS will show an alert on RDS console. You can also user the DescribeEvents API to check for events. To be notified you need to configure an SNS notification.

It does not say “RDS Alert”, it says will you be alerted.
Agree with Magwif.

Answer is C. You will be alerted on the RDS console, you don’t have to be sent a notification to be alerted.
