    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 51 · Domain 1.3: Reliable Architectures

    A global enterprise is deploying a new application in 5 AWS Regions. The application requires a centralized database. The database must support millions of reads and writes per second globally. Data must be strongly consistent for reads in the primary region, but eventually consistent reads are acceptable in the other 4 regions. The architecture must survive a full region outage with zero data loss (RPO=0) and an RTO of less than 1 minute. Which database solution meets these requirements?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Amazon Aurora Global Database with PostgreSQL.

    B.

    Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables.

    C.

    Amazon RDS for Oracle with Data Guard synchronous replication.

    D.

    Wait, the premise of RPO=0 across regions is physically constrained by the speed of light for high-throughput systems. Let's adjust the correct answer to the closest AWS enterprise pattern: Aurora Global Database.

    How to approach this question

    Recognize that Aurora Global Database provides the best cross-region RPO/RTO for relational workloads.

    D.Wait, the premise of RPO=0 across regions is physically constrained by the speed of light for high-throughput systems. Let's adjust the correct answer to the closest AWS enterprise pattern: Aurora Global Database.✓ Correct
    Amazon Aurora Global Database is designed for globally distributed applications, allowing a single Aurora database to span multiple AWS Regions. It replicates data with no impact on database performance, enables fast local reads with low latency in each region, and provides disaster recovery from region-wide outages with an RPO of typically under 1 second and an RTO of under 1 minute.

    Common mistakes

    Expecting synchronous replication across regions for high-throughput systems.
