The best answer is A: configuring Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the copying of EBS snapshots to additional regions, is the most suitable solution. It meets the requirement of minimal operational overhead while ensuring that snapshots are stored in multiple regions for disaster recovery. This approach is straightforward and leverages AWS's native capabilities for snapshot management. Can't be C...EBS snapshots are not stored in S3 in a direct manner that would allow the use of S3 Cross-Region Replication. This option seems to misunderstand the nature of EBS snapshots and S3 integration.

CRR is a feature in AWS S3 that automatically replicates data from one S3 bucket in one AWS region to another S3 bucket in a different region. the requirements here to send backup to two regions

AWS Backup does not store snapshots in Amazon S3: AWS Backup stores the EBS snapshots in the same AWS Region where the EBS volumes reside. It does not store the snapshots in Amazon S3 buckets.

"A" - correct.

"You can now copy snapshots across regions using Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM). You can enable policies which, along with create, can now also copy snapshots to one or more AWS region(s). Copies can be scheduled for up to three regions from a single policy and retention periods are set for each region separately." https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/12/amazon-data-lifecycle-manager-enables-automation-snapshot-copy-via-policies/

A (Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager) could work, but it's more suitable for lifecycle management tasks such as creating, retaining, and deleting EBS snapshots based on defined policies. It doesn't inherently handle cross-region replication.

Option A. EBS Data Lifecycle manager supports automated cross region snapshot. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/12/amazon-data-lifecycle-manager-enables-automation-snapshot-copy-via-policies/

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snapshot-lifecycle.html It help's - Create disaster recovery backup policies that back up data to isolated Regions or accounts.

C ans a IS not correct Snapshots must be archived in the same Region in which they were created. If you enabled cross-Region copy and snapshot archiving, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager does not archive the snapshot copy.

C Amazon data lifecycle manager can't copy snapshots. AWS backup has cross-Region copy feature https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/amazon-ebs-backup-and-restore-using-aws-backup/#:~:text=same%20AWS%20Region%20(-,however%2C%20see%20step%203.2%20for%20information%20on%20cross%2DRegion%20copy,-).%20This%20tutorial%20uses

For me A would be the solution. C will imply copying the ebs snapshots to s3, why not using directly the AWS Backup cross-region backup copy feature?

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/12/amazon-data-lifecycle-manager-now-automates-copying-ebs-snapshots-across-accounts/ fully automated and no overhead. Answer A

Answer is C

should be C

Answer is C. Therefore, option C is the most efficient and cost-effective solution that aligns with the agency's strict disaster recovery requirements while minimizing operational complexity.
