Which solutions will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort?
(Choose two.)
Create an Amazon EC2-backed Amazon Machine Image (AMI) lifecycle policy to create a backup based on tags. Schedule the backup to run twice daily. Copy the image on demand.
Create an Amazon EC2-backed Amazon Machine Image (AMI) lifecycle policy to create a backup based on tags. Schedule the backup to run twice daily. Configure the copy to the us-west-2 Region.
Create backup vaults in us-west-1 and in us-west-2 by using AWS Backup. Create a backup plan for the EC2 instances based on tag values. Create an AWS Lambda function to run as a scheduled job to copy the backup data to us-west-2.
Create a backup vault by using AWS Backup. Use AWS Backup to create a backup plan for the EC2 instances based on tag values. Define the destination for the copy as us-west-2. Specify the backup schedule to run twice daily.
Create a backup vault by using AWS Backup. Use AWS Backup to create a backup plan for the EC2 instances based on tag values. Specify the backup schedule to run twice daily. Copy on demand to us-west-2.
Explanations:
While creating an AMI lifecycle policy and scheduling backups is a valid approach, this option does not address the requirement to automate the copying of images to the us-west-2 Region, which is necessary for disaster recovery. It only mentions copying the image on demand, which does not meet the need for minimal administrative effort and the 24-hour data loss requirement.
This option automates the creation of AMIs based on tags and schedules backups to run twice daily. Furthermore, it specifies copying the AMI to the us-west-2 Region, thus ensuring that the company can recover workloads quickly in case of a disaster in the us-west-1 Region while keeping administrative effort low.
Although it mentions creating backup vaults and a backup plan based on tag values, it introduces unnecessary complexity by requiring an AWS Lambda function to copy backup data to the us-west-2 Region. This added complexity does not align with the requirement for minimal administrative effort.
This option utilizes AWS Backup to create a backup plan that automatically copies backups to the us-west-2 Region and defines a backup schedule to run twice daily. This solution meets the requirements of automating backups and ensures the ability to recover workloads with minimal administrative effort.
While this option mentions creating a backup vault and a backup plan, it only allows for on-demand copying to us-west-2. This does not align with the requirement for automation and the prevention of data loss exceeding 24 hours, as on-demand copying does not ensure timely disaster recovery.
