A company is designing a disaster recovery (DR) strategy for their AWS environment. They have a strict Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 5 minutes and a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 1 minute. Which TWO DR strategies would meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

Backup and Restore

Pilot Light

Warm standby

Multi-site active-active

AWS Storage Gateway Volume Gateway

How to approach this question

Understand the DR spectrum. RTO of 5 minutes requires infrastructure to already be running (Warm Standby or Active-Active).

Full Answer

Multi-site active-active, Warm standby

To achieve an RTO of 5 minutes, you cannot wait to provision resources. Warm standby keeps a scaled-down version running, and Multi-site active-active keeps full capacity running in multiple regions.

Common mistakes

Selecting Pilot Light, which usually has an RTO of tens of minutes because compute instances must be started.
