Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand provisioned capacity limits
Provisioned mode requires manual capacity adjustments; it does not auto-scale.Step 2: Choose the best action to avoid throttling
Manually increasing read capacity before the spike prevents throttling. Switching modes or reducing writes won't help automatically.Final Answer:
Manually increase provisioned read capacity before traffic spike -> Option BQuick Check:
Provisioned mode needs manual capacity changes [OK]
Quick Trick: Provisioned mode requires manual capacity updates [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming auto-scaling in provisioned mode
- Thinking reducing writes auto-increases reads
- Believing switching modes is instant
