Question

A company wants to use the AWS Cloud to improve its on-premises disaster recovery (DR) configuration. The company's core production business application uses Microsoft SQL Server Standard, which runs on a virtual machine (VM). The application has a recovery point objective (RPO) of 30 seconds or fewer and a recovery time objective (RTO) of 60 minutes. The DR solution needs to minimize costs wherever possible. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Configure a warm standby Amazon RDS for SQL Server database on AWS. Configure AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to use change data capture (CDC). Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. AWS Database Migration Service migrates databases with minimal downtime. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
