Zorluk: OrtaResilient Database Configurations and High Availability

A media streaming company hosts its user profile database in the us-east-1 Region. The application requires local, sub-second read performance for users in the eu-west-1 Region. Additionally, the architecture must support a cross-region disaster recovery strategy with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 55 seconds and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than 55 minutes. Which database configuration meets these requirements with the least operational overhead?

  1. A
    Deploy Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instances in both us-east-1 and eu-west-1, and configure an Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing policy to route write traffic.
  2. Configure an Amazon Aurora Global Database with the primary cluster in us-east-1 and a secondary cluster in eu-west-1.Cevap
  3. C
    Deploy an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance in us-east-1 and create a cross-region read replica in eu-west-1, configuring the application to automatically promote the read replica to primary during a failure.
  4. D
    Implement a Pilot Light disaster recovery plan by deploying a scaled-down Amazon RDS DB instance in eu-west-1 and backing up the database using daily cross-region snapshots.

Cevap

Configure an Amazon Aurora Global Database with the primary cluster in us-east-1 and a secondary cluster in eu-west-1.
The correct database configuration is an Amazon Aurora Global Database with the primary cluster in us-east-1 and a secondary cluster in eu-west-1. Aurora Global Database uses dedicated storage-based replication that delivers sub-second replication latency (typically under 11 second), meeting the 55-second RPO. In the event of a regional outage, the secondary cluster can be promoted to primary in less than 11 minute, satisfying the 55-minute RTO. This provides local reads in the secondary region with the lowest operational overhead.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the read latency and location constraints.
The solution requires low-latency read replication from us-east-1 to eu-west-1.
This narrows the choice to configurations supporting cross-region replication.
2
Evaluate the RPO and RTO disaster recovery requirements against replication options.
Amazon Aurora Global Database supports storage-level, dedicated replication with typical lag of less than 11 second (meeting the 55-second RPO limit) and secondary cluster promotion in less than 11 minute (meeting the 55-minute RTO limit).
Standard RDS replicas and backup-based approaches cannot meet these tight recovery metrics with low operational overhead.
