Question 2

A cloud administrator needs to select a disaster recovery strategy for a critical application. The business requires a low RTO, measured in minutes to a few hours. The solution must be more cost-effective than a fully replicated, active-active site. The chosen strategy involves maintaining a scaled-down but fully functional version of the production environment in a separate region, which can be quickly scaled up during a failover. Which DR strategy does this describe?

Question 4

A company is designing a DR solution with a secondary cloud region. The plan is to replicate only the critical data to the DR region and have the infrastructure defined as code (IaC) templates ready for deployment. In the event of a disaster, the cloud team must first provision the virtual machines, install applications, and then restore the data. This approach prioritizes low cost over recovery speed. Which DR strategy is being implemented?

Accepted Answer

Pilot light

Question 6

An organization's disaster recovery plan states that in the event of a primary site failure, a secondary site with pre-installed hardware and software will be used for recovery.

This process is expected to take several hours. Which type of disaster recovery site is this?

Accepted Answer

Warm site

Answer

Hot site
