Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 350 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 350
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A solutions architect works for a government agency that has strict disaster recovery requirements. All Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots are required to be saved in at least two additional AWS Regions. The agency also is required to maintain the lowest possible operational overhead.

Which solution meets these requirements?

  • A. Configure a policy in Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM) to run once daily to copy the EBS snapshots to the additional Regions.
  • B. Use Amazon EventBridge to schedule an AWS Lambda function to copy the EBS snapshots to the additional Regions.
  • C. Setup AWS Backup to create the EBS snapshots. Configure Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication to copy the EBS snapshots to the additional Regions.
  • D. Schedule Amazon EC2 Image Builder to run once daily to create an AMI and copy the AMI to the additional Regions.

Selected Answer: A
The best answer is A: configuring Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the copying of EBS snapshots to additional regions, is the most suitable solution. It meets the requirement of minimal operational overhead while ensuring that snapshots are stored in multiple regions for disaster recovery. This approach is straightforward and leverages AWS's native capabilities for snapshot management. Can't be C...EBS snapshots are not stored in S3 in a direct manner that would allow the use of S3 Cross-Region Replication. This option seems to misunderstand the nature of EBS snapshots and S3 integration.

Indeed, you can do a cross-Region snapshot copy with AWS Backup, but ans “C” states to do a local-Region copy, then from the S3 console to run a S3 cross-Region replication, which is NOT possible. See the text and link below. “EBS snapshots are stored in Amazon S3, in S3 buckets that you CAN’T access directly. You can create and manage your snapshots using the Amazon EC2 console or the Amazon EC2 API. You can't access your snapshots using the Amazon S3 console or the Amazon S3 API.” https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-snapshots.html So, correct ans is “A”.

AWS Backup does not store snapshots in Amazon S3: AWS Backup stores the EBS snapshots in the same AWS Region where the EBS volumes reside. It does not store the snapshots in Amazon S3 buckets.

"You can now copy snapshots across regions using Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM). You can enable policies which, along with create, can now also copy snapshots to one or more AWS region(s). Copies can be scheduled for up to three regions from a single policy and retention periods are set for each region separately." https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/12/amazon-data-lifecycle-manager-enables-automation-snapshot-copy-via-policies/

Selected Answer: C
A (Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager) could work, but it's more suitable for lifecycle management tasks such as creating, retaining, and deleting EBS snapshots based on defined policies. It doesn't inherently handle cross-region replication.

C ans a IS not correct Snapshots must be archived in the same Region in which they were created. If you enabled cross-Region copy and snapshot archiving, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager does not archive the snapshot copy.
