Amazon Exam PAS-C01 Topic 8 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 8

A company is designing a disaster recovery (DR) strategy for an SAP HANA database that runs on an Amazon EC2 instance in a single Availability Zone The company can tolerate a long RTO and an RPO greater than zero if it means that the company can save money on its DR process.

The company has configured an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to automatically recover the EC2 instance if the instance experiences an unexpected issue. The company has set up AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA to save the backups into Amazon S3.

What is the MOST cost-effective DR option for the company's SAP HANA database?

ASet up AWS CloudFormation to automatically launch a new EC2 instance for the SAP HANA database in a second Availability Zone from backups that are stored in Amazon S3 When the SAP HANA database is operational perform a database restore by using the standard SAP HANA restore process.

BLaunch a secondary EC2 instance for the SAP HANA database on a less powerful EC2 instance type in a second Availability Zone Configure SAP HANA system replication with the preload option turned off

CLaunch a secondary EC2 instance tor the SAP HANA database on an equivalent EC2 instance type in a second Availability Zone Configure SAP HANA system replication with the preload option turned on

DSet up AWS CloudFormation to automatically launch a new EC2 instance for the SAP HANA database in a second Availability Zone from backups that are stored in Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) When the SAP HANA database is operational perform a database restore by using the standard SAP HANA restore process

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

This option would allow the company to continue using Oracle Database while also meeting their compliance requirements, as they would not need to install any additional software on their on-premises servers. They can use Oracle Data Guard to replicate their existing Oracle Database to an instance running on AWS, providing a way to migrate their SAP landscape to AWS while still using the same database.

I'm just here for the free coffee and donuts. Wait, this isn't that kind of exam? My bad.

Hmm, Option D seems a bit risky to me. Restoring from EBS backups might take longer than from S3, and the cost savings might not be that significant.

I think Option A could be a good compromise. Launching a new EC2 instance from S3 backups in a second Availability Zone seems like a reliable option.

I agree, restoring from EBS backups can be slower than from S3. Option D might not be the best choice.

Option A looks good, but I'm not sure if the standard SAP HANA restore process is the most efficient. The CloudFormation automation is a nice touch, though.

C: Maybe we can explore option D as well, it involves launching a new EC2 instance from backups stored in Amazon EBS.

I think Option C is the way to go. The secondary instance has the same EC2 type, and with the preload option turned on, the recovery time should be faster.

It's definitely a cost-effective option for the company's SAP HANA database DR strategy.

I agree. With the preload option turned on, the recovery process should be quicker and more efficient.

Option C sounds like a good choice. Having the same EC2 instance type for the secondary instance is important.

Option B seems like the most cost-effective solution, as it uses a less powerful EC2 instance type. However, with the preload option turned off, the recovery time might be longer.

C) That's a good point. Option C might provide better performance with the preload option turned on, but it could be more expensive. It's a trade-off between cost and recovery time.

I disagree, I believe option D is better as it uses Amazon EBS for backups which can be more reliable than S3.
