81.65 -> Let's look at this recommendation.
84.29 -> As we can see in the detail page, this recommendation comes from Trusted
87.51 -> Advisor which has detected that an RDS snapshot is currently marked as public,
91.71 -> meaning it can be accessed by any AWS account or user.
95.62 -> The recommended action is to modify the permissions,
98.22 -> mark the snapshot as private and then specify

103.99 -> To modify permissions for our snapshots directly, we can use an existing runbook.

144.93 -> enhance database availability by synchronously replicating to a
147.95 -> standby instance in a different availability zone.
150.74 -> If our application requires high availability, then we
153.36 -> should modify it to enable multi AZ deployment.
156.31 -> The description provides a link to the AWS documentation on that topic.
160.34 -> Since it's related to a critical
161.73 -> workload, we will accept this recommendation and contact
164.5 -> the appropriate team so they can examine this recommendation and assess the risk.
169.52 -> Let's go back to the list of recommendations and
171.5 -> review this one created by our AWS account team.

179.18 -> After reaching out internally to the key stakeholders,
182.11 -> we were informed that this particular workload is
184.39 -> actually scheduled to be decommissioned next month.
186.8 -> Therefore,
187.5 -> we decided that we don't need to invest time and effort
189.89 -> in an AWS Well Architected Review for this particular workload,

195.15 -> reason and filling in our contact details.
