A company is designing a disaster recovery strategy for an Amazon Aurora MySQL database. The requirement is an RPO of 1 second and an RTO of 1 minute across different AWS Regions. Which combination of configurations will meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Use Amazon Aurora Global Database.

Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for cross-region replication.

Configure application-level routing to failover to the secondary region endpoint.

Take continuous Aurora snapshots and copy them cross-region.

Enable Multi-AZ on the Aurora cluster.

Use Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables.

How to approach this question

Identify the Aurora feature for cross-region DR.

Full Answer

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, provides fast local reads, and enables disaster recovery from region-wide outages with an RPO of typically under 1 second and an RTO of under 1 minute.

Common mistakes

Confusing Multi-AZ (same region) with Global Database (cross-region).
