AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 217

Question

A company runs a global web application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The application stores data in Amazon Aurora. The company needs to create a disaster recovery solution and can tolerate up to 30 minutes of downtime and potential data loss. The solution does not need to handle the load when the primary infrastructure is healthy. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Deploy the application with the required infrastructure elements in place. Use Amazon Route 53 to configure active-passive failover. Create an Aurora Replica in a second AWS Region. Amazon Aurora is a high-performance managed relational database with built-in replication and failover. Amazon Route 53 provides DNS with health checks and routing policies for availability and latency. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
