Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 429 discussion

A company has developed an application that is running Windows Server on VMware vSphere VMs that the company hosts on premises. The application data is stored in a proprietary format that must be read through the application. The company manually provisioned the servers and the application.

As part of its disaster recovery plan, the company wants the ability to host its application on AWS temporarily if the company's on-premises environment becomes unavailable. The company wants the application to return to on-premises hosting after a disaster recovery event is complete. The RPO is 5 minutes.

Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?

  • A. Configure AWS DataSync. Replicate the data to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. When the on-premises environment is unavailable, use AWS CloudFormation templates to provision Amazon EC2 instances and attach the EBS volumes.
  • B. Configure AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery. Replicate the data to replication Amazon EC2 instances that are attached to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. When the on-premises environment is unavailable, use Elastic Disaster Recovery to launch EC2 instances that use the replicated volumes.
  • C. Provision an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway. Replicate the data to an Amazon S3 bucket. When the on-premises environment is unavailable, use AWS Backup to restore the data to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes and launch Amazon EC2 instances from these EBS volumes.
  • D. Provision an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system on AWS. Replicate the data to the file system. When the on-premises environment is unavailable, use AWS CloudFormation templates to provision Amazon EC2 instances and use AWS::CloudFormation::Init commands to mount the Amazon FSx file shares.

Selected Answer: B
The best solution for the company's disaster recovery needs with minimal operational overhead is B. Configure AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery. This option enables continuous data replication to Amazon EC2 instances attached to Amazon EBS volumes, ensuring the RPO of 5 minutes is met. When the on-premises environment fails, Elastic Disaster Recovery can automatically launch the EC2 instances using the replicated volumes, streamlining the recovery process and reducing manual intervention compared to other options.

Option B is right Elastic Disaster Recovery: This service allows you to create a replication instance in AWS, which can be used as a target for your application data. When your on-premises environment is unavailable, Elastic Disaster Recovery can automatically launch EC2 instances using the replicated volumes. Zero-configuration restore: With Elastic Disaster Recovery, there's no need to configure any additional services or scripts to restore the application. The service takes care of launching the correct EC2 instances with the necessary EBS volumes attached. RPO of 5 minutes: By replicating your data regularly (e.g., every 5 minutes), you can ensure that your RPO is met, and in case of a disaster, the replicated data will be available on AWS.

Selected Answer: B
B is the correct answer. AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery aligns with low operational overhead and 5-minute RPO. It takes care of ongoing replication A: Incorrect, DataSync lacks comprehensive DR capabilities and requires manual provisioning. C: Incorrect, introduces complexity and doesn't support a 5-minute RPO for DR. D: Incorrect, FSx lacks automated DR solutions for VMware vSphere VMs, increasing overhead.

Selected Answer: B
Correct answer is B - because only this option will provide LEAST amount of operational overhead. A - is out, because DataSync can't replicate data to EBS volumes C - is out, because AWS Backup can't restore not managed data from S3 to EBS D - is out, because it is not provide a way HOW we will replicate data from on-premise to FSx. Also, it is require additional amount of operational overhead
