A company will migrate data from an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance in the eu-east-1 Region of Account_A to an Amazon Redshift cluster in the eu-west-1 Region of Account_B. To allow AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to replicate between those two data stores, what should the company do?

Correct answer: Set up an AWS DMS replication instance in Account_B in eu-west-1..
Why this is the answer
The AWS DMS replication instance should be set up in the target account (AccountB) and the target region (eu-west-1). This placement minimizes cross-account and cross-region data transfer costs, as the replication instance will be close to the Redshift target. It also simplifies network configuration and security within AccountB. Placing it in AccountB in eu-east-1 would incur cross-region data transfer costs to the Redshift cluster. Setting it up in a new AWS account adds unnecessary complexity. Placing it in AccountA in eu-east-1 would require cross-account and cross-region data transfer, increasing costs and latency.
