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
✓
Enable cross-region replication, then configure IAM roles, then set up automation templates, then test the replication, then document the DR plan.
Start with enabling replication, then IAM roles, automation templates, testing, and documentation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enable cross-region replication, then configure IAM roles, then set up automation templates, then test the replication, then document the DR plan.
Why this is correct
This order follows the recommended approach: first enable replication, then set up IAM roles for permissions, automate with templates, test to validate, and finally document for future reference.
- ✗
Enable cross-region replication, then set up automation templates, then configure IAM roles, then test the replication, then document the DR plan.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because automation templates often require IAM roles to be in place; switching the order could lead to errors during automation setup.
- ✗
Configure IAM roles, then enable cross-region replication, then set up automation templates, then test the replication, then document the DR plan.
Why it's wrong here
While IAM roles are needed, enabling replication first is typically more logical as it defines the replication scope before assigning roles; doing it in reverse may cause unnecessary rework.
- ✗
Document the DR plan, then enable cross-region replication, then configure IAM roles, then set up automation templates, then test the replication.
Why it's wrong here
Documentation should be the final step to capture the completed process; starting with it can lead to inaccuracies as the plan evolves during implementation.
