Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    Continuous replication to a warm standby environment with automated failover

    Why this is correct

    Continuous replication achieves RPO of seconds to minutes, and automated failover achieves RTO of minutes.

  • ✗

    Backup to AWS S3 and restore using AWS CloudFormation

    Why it's wrong here

    Restore from backup takes longer than 15 minutes.

  • ✗

    Cross-region replication with a read replica and manual promotion

    Why it's wrong here

    Manual promotion increases RTO beyond 15 minutes.

  • ✗

    Daily snapshots of EBS volumes to another region

    Why it's wrong here

    Daily snapshots result in RPO of up to 24 hours, too high.
