A company is implementing a 'Pilot Light' disaster recovery strategy for their on-premises database and web servers. Which TWO actions align with this strategy? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

Run a scaled-down version of the web servers in AWS at all times.

Continuously replicate the database to AWS.

Keep the web server AMIs ready, but do not run the EC2 instances.

Run a full replica of the production environment in AWS.

Only backup data to S3 and restore it when needed.

How to approach this question

Understand the definition of 'Pilot Light'.

Full Answer

Continuously replicate the database to AWS. Keep the web server AMIs ready, but do not run the EC2 instances until a disaster occurs.

A Pilot Light strategy keeps core services (like databases) running and synchronized, while other infrastructure (like web servers) is kept as templates (AMIs) and only launched during a disaster.

Common mistakes

Confusing Pilot Light with Warm Standby.
