Amazon PAS-C01 Exam - Topic 8 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam
Question #: 24
Topic #: 8
[All PAS-C01 Questions]

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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

D sounds too expensive with EBS involved.

Wait, can we really rely on just backups in S3?

I’m leaning towards option A because it mentions using S3, but I’m a bit confused about the restore process and whether it’s really the most cost-effective choice.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between instance types and replication options. I feel like option C could be more reliable, but it might cost more.

I think option B might be cheaper since it suggests using a less powerful EC2 instance, but I’m not entirely clear on how that affects RTO and RPO.

I remember that using AWS CloudFormation can automate the recovery process, but I'm not sure if using S3 for backups is the most cost-effective option.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with SAP HANA and the different DR options, so I'll need to read through the question and options a few times to make sure I understand the nuances. I don't want to rush into an answer and get it wrong.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is that the company wants to save money on the DR process, so we need to find the most cost-effective solution. Option B seems to fit that criteria by using a less powerful EC2 instance for the secondary site.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the differences between the options. Option A talks about using backups in S3, while option D mentions using EBS. I'm not sure which one would be more cost-effective. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This question seems straightforward - we're looking for the most cost-effective DR option for the SAP HANA database. I think I'll go with option B since it mentions using a less powerful EC2 instance type, which should save on costs.

I'm pretty confident that option B is the right answer here. The question specifically mentions the "Knowledge component list", so that seems like the logical choice.

Easy peasy! The hypervisor abstracts the CPU and memory resources from the physical hardware and presents them to the virtual machines. This allows the VMs to have their own dedicated compute and storage resources.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking for two critical steps, but there are four options. I'll need to carefully read through each one to determine the best two answers.

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.

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.

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.

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.
