Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SAP HANA System Replication with synchronous replication
SAP HANA System Replication with synchronous replication across Availability Zones ensures zero data loss and automatic failover. Option A is incorrect because EBS snapshots are asynchronous and do not provide zero data loss. Option B is incorrect because Multi-AZ RDS is not supported for HANA. Option C is incorrect because cluster placement groups are within a single AZ and do not provide cross-AZ failover.

Why it's wrong here
RDS for HANA does not support Multi-AZ.
- ✗
Cluster placement group spanning two AZs
Why it's wrong here
Cluster placement groups are limited to one AZ.
- ✓
SAP HANA System Replication with synchronous replication
Why this is correct
Synchronous HSR provides zero RPO and automatic failover across AZs.
