AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 271

Question

A SysOps administrator needs to design a disaster recovery (DR) plan for an application on AWS. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances are in an Auto Scaling group. The application uses an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database. The recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) are 15 minutes each. Which combination of steps should the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B, D. The correct answer is B, D. Option B: Configure the Aurora cluster to replicate data to the DR Region by using the Aurora global database option. Option D: Configure the DR Region with an ALB and an Auto Scaling group. Set the Auto Scaling group's minimum capacity, maximum capacity, and desired capacity to 1. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon Aurora is a high-performance managed relational database with built-in replication and failover. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
