A cloud administrator is managing two private cloud environments. In cloud A, the disaster recovery solution has an SLA for RPO of five minutes and RTO of one hour. In cloud B, the disaster recovery solution has an SLA for RPO of one hour and RTO of 24 hours. A new customer's application requires that, in case of a disaster, no more than 15 minutes of data can be lost, and it should be fully recovered within one day. Which of the following would be the BEST approach to this application?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Tell the customer cloud A is the best solution Cloud A has an RPO of five minutes and an RTO of one hour. This meets the customer's requirements of no more than 15 minutes of data loss (5 < 15) and recovery within one day (1 hour < 24 hours).

Answer

B. Put it in cloud B and ask the customer to create snapshots every 15 minutes Cloud B's RPO of one hour does not meet the customer's 15-minute RPO requirement; asking the customer to manage snapshots is not part of the cloud provider's SLA.

Answer

C. Both cloud A and cloud B would suit the customer's needs Cloud B's RPO of one hour significantly exceeds the customer's acceptable data loss of 15 minutes, making it unsuitable.

Answer

D. Change the cloud B disaster recovery solution so RPO will be 15 minutes Changing Cloud B's DR solution is a major infrastructure modification and not an immediate 'best approach' for placing an application in an existing environment.
