Which combination of actions should the solutions architect take to accomplish this?
(Choose two.)
Detach a volume on an EC2 instance and copy it to Amazon S3.
Launch a new EC2 instance from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in a new Region.
Launch a new EC2 instance in a new Region and copy a volume from Amazon S3 to the new instance.
Copy an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of an EC2 instance and specify a different Region for the destination.
Copy an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume from Amazon S3 and launch an EC2 instance in the destination Region using that EBS volume.
Explanations:
While detaching and copying a volume to S3 is a valid backup method, it doesn’t directly facilitate deploying resources to a second Region as part of a disaster recovery plan.
Launching a new EC2 instance from an AMI in a new Region allows for quick deployment of resources in the event of a disaster, making it a correct action.
Copying a volume from S3 to a new instance does not directly relate to disaster recovery as it implies that data has been pre-stored in S3, which is not a direct action for resource deployment.
Copying an AMI to a different Region is a straightforward way to ensure that an identical instance can be launched in the new Region, which is essential for disaster recovery.
You cannot copy an EBS volume from S3; EBS volumes need to be created from snapshots, and while you can launch an EC2 instance using an EBS volume, this option is not a valid action in the context provided.
I rank that the answer is:
Launch a new EC2 instance from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in a new Region.
