Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 635 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 635
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company uses Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in its primary AWS Region for CIFS and NFS file shares. Applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances access the file shares. The company needs a storage disaster recovery (DR) solution in a secondary Region. The data that is replicated in the secondary Region needs to be accessed by using the same protocols as the primary Region.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  • A. Create an AWS Lambda function to copy the data to an Amazon S3 bucket. Replicate the S3 bucket to the secondary Region.
  • B. Create a backup of the FSx for ONTAP volumes by using AWS Backup. Copy the volumes to the secondary Region. Create a new FSx for ONTAP instance from the backup.
  • C. Create an FSx for ONTAP instance in the secondary Region. Use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data from the primary Region to the secondary Region.
  • D. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volume. Migrate the current data to the volume. Replicate the volume to the secondary Region.

Selected Answer: C
This is a very rare usage scenario so here are the docs related to the product: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/scheduled-replication.html AD: Not compatible solutions B: Either wrongly worded or missing something but if I read it correctly, it means just take a backup and restore whereas the question is about continuous replication. If B was scheduled then it would have made sense C is correct as SnapMirror is a managed solution to replicate the data

Agree, thus it said "replicated in the secondary Region" only, not create a backup infrastructure in other region for failover, i don't think we need to use Backup feature

Selected Answer: C
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP supports NetApp SnapMirror, a replication technology that you can use to replicate data between two ONTAP file systems. You can configure automatic NetApp SnapMirror replication of your data to another Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system, including a file system in another AWS Region. If needed, you can fail over your applications and users to use the other Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system. With SnapMirror, you can configure replication with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of as low as 5 minutes, and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) in single-digit minutes. You can configure SnapMirror using the ONTAP CLI or REST API.

SnapMirror enables you to configure replication with an RPO of as low as five minutes, and an RTO in single digit minutes. It is the recommended solution for DR when using FSx for ONTAP: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/cross-region-disaster-recovery-with-amazon-fsx-for-netapp-ontap/

You can use NetApp SnapMirror to schedule periodic replication of your FSx for ONTAP file system to or from a second file system. This capability is available for both in-Region and cross-Region deployments. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/scheduled-replication.html
