CV0-004 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are key components of…

Which TWO of the following are key components of a disaster recovery plan in the cloud? (Select TWO.)

⚠ Common exam trap

Many candidates mistakenly think load balancing is part of disaster recovery, but load balancing is for high availability within a single region, not for cross-region DR. Recovery point objective (RPO) and cross-region replication are key DR components.

Answer choices

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

✓

Recovery point objective (RPO)

Recovery point objective (RPO) is a core metric in disaster recovery planning that defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It directly determines the required frequency of backups or replication, making it essential for designing a cloud DR strategy that meets business continuity requirements.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • ✗

    Network performance monitoring

    Why it's wrong here

    Monitoring is part of normal operations, not DR planning.

  • ✗

    Billing alerts

    Why it's wrong here

    Billing alerts are cost management tools.

  • ✓

    Recovery point objective (RPO)

    Why this is correct

    RPO determines how much data loss is acceptable during a disaster.

  • ✗

    Load balancing

    Why it's wrong here

    Load balancing is for traffic distribution, not a core DR component.

  • ✓

    Cross-region replication

    Why this is correct

    Replication to another region ensures data is available if a region fails.
