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
✓
Configure cross-region replication to another EU region
To comply with data residency and ensure availability/DR, select cloud regions located within the EU (D) and configure cross-region replication to another EU region (A). IAM policies restricting data access to EU regions are access controls and do not ensure the data remains stored within the EU. Options C and E violate residency or security. Therefore, A and D are correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure cross-region replication to another EU region
Why this is correct
Correct: Replicating to another EU region maintains data residency while providing disaster recovery.
- ✗
Implement IAM policies with conditions restricting data access to EU regions
Why it's wrong here
IAM policies restricting data access to EU regions control who can access data, not where it is stored; they do not ensure data residency.
- ✗
Use cross-region replication to a region outside the EU
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Replicating outside the EU violates data residency requirements.
- ✓
Select cloud regions located within the EU
Why this is correct
Correct: Selecting EU regions ensures primary data storage complies with residency.
- ✗
Enable public access to the bucket for all users
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Enabling public access violates security and does not address residency or availability.
