Explanation

To achieve a 60-second RTO, pre-warming the DR environment (including running EC2 instances and Route 53 health checks) is essential. Active/passive failover using Route 53 with health checks ensures fast redirection when the primary Region becomes unavailable. S3 cross- region replication ensures document availability.
