Question 975

A company implements a containerized application by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon API Gateway. The application data is stored in Amazon Aurora databases and Amazon DynamoDB databases. The company automates infrastructure provisioning by using AWS CloudFormation. The company automates application deployment by using AWS CodePipeline.

A solutions architect needs to implement a disaster recovery (DR) strategy that meets an RPO of 2 hours and an RTO of 4 hours.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

    Correct Answer: C

    To meet the disaster recovery requirements of an RPO of 2 hours and an RTO of 4 hours in the most cost-effective way, using AWS Backup to create backups of the Aurora and DynamoDB databases to a secondary AWS Region is both practical and cost-effective. With AWS Backup, backups can be automated, and it supports cross-region backup, ensuring data is replicated in the secondary region. In case of a disaster, the API Gateway with regional endpoints and Route 53 failover routing can be configured to switch traffic to the secondary region. This approach avoids the higher costs associated with maintaining live infrastructures in both regions.

Correct C. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/cross-region-backup.html

pvrhereOption: C

C is going to be cost effective, right? Also, cloudformation to deploy infrastructure is already in place.

zozza2023Option: C

C and D are crorect solution C is the answer as it is cost less https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/cost-effective-disaster-recovery-for-amazon-aurora-databases-using-aws-backup/

rbm2023

although they are correct, option D is not the most cost effective, it will require you to have live enviroment in both regions which is going to cost you, a lot more than just keep backups and the recovering considering the RTO and RPO in the scenario.

devilman222Option: C

Why is B marked as the correct solution? You wouldn't use DMS.

I really suspect you can use aws backup to copy database files from one region to another region under RPO 2 hrs.
