A company hosts a critical web application in a single AWS Region. The application tier runs on Amazon EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling group, and the database tier uses Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The company wants to implement a cost-effective Pilot Light disaster recovery (DR) strategy in a secondary AWS Region. Which combination of actions should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
- Configure an Amazon RDS cross-region read replica in the secondary Region to replicate database changes.Cevap
- Pre-configure an Auto Scaling group in the secondary Region using Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) copied from the primary Region, keeping the desired capacity at zero.Cevap
- CConfigure Route 53 routing records to point to both regions with active-active routing without configuring health checks on the endpoints.
- DDeploy the database across regions using Amazon RDS Multi-AZ synchronous replication to guarantee zero data loss.
- ECreate a Route 53 Private Hosted Zone for custom DNS resolution in the secondary Region but associate it only with the primary Region's VPC.
Cevap
Configure an Amazon RDS cross-region read replica in the secondary Region, and pre-configure an Auto Scaling group in the secondary Region using AMIs copied from the primary Region with a desired capacity of zero.
In a Pilot Light disaster recovery architecture, the database is kept running in the recovery region and updated continuously. The option recommending an Amazon RDS cross-region read replica meets this requirement by asynchronously copying data changes to the secondary Region. The compute resources remain inactive to minimize costs, which is accomplished by pre-configuring the Auto Scaling group in the secondary Region with a desired capacity of zero and preparing the necessary AMIs.

Anahtar Kavram
The Pilot Light disaster recovery pattern keeps core data services active and replicating while keeping application and compute servers scaled down to zero until a failover is initiated.
