Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 456 discussion

Using AWS Backup, you can create backup plans that automate the backup process for your EC2 instances. By configuring cross-Region backup, you can ensure that backups are replicated to the second Region, providing a disaster recovery capability. This solution is cost-effective as it leverages AWS Backup's built-in features and eliminates the need for manual snapshot management or deploying and managing additional EC2 instances in the second Region.

Option B (EBS snapshots with cross-Region copy) is the most cost-effective solution for backing up EC2 instances to a second Region while allowing for centralized management and easy recovery when needed.

The answer is c

How does AWS Backup address that "The company also wants to provision EC2 resources in the second Region"?

C is the most cost-effective solution that meets all the requirements. AWS Backup provides automated backups across Regions for EC2 instances. This handles the backup requirement. AWS Backup is more cost-effective for cross-Region EC2 backups than using EBS snapshots manually or DataSync.
