A company hosts a software as a service (SaaS) solution on AWS. The solution has an Amazon API Gateway API that serves an HTTPS endpoint. The API uses AWS Lambda functions for compute. The Lambda functions store data in an Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 database. The company used the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to deploy the solution. The solution extends across multiple Availability Zones and has no disaster recovery (DR) plan. A solutions architect must design a DR strategy that can recover the solution in another AWS Region. The solution has an RTO of 5 minutes and an RPO of 1 minute. What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Change the Aurora Serverless v1 database to a standard Aurora MySQL global database that Changing the Aurora Serverless v1 database to a standard Aurora MySQL global database with a secondary cluster in the target Region is the most effective solution. Aurora Global Database provides an RPO typically less than 1 second and RTO less than 1 minute in a regional outage, comfortably meeting the specified RPO of 1 minute and RTO of 5 minutes for cross-Region recovery. The AWS SAM template can then be deployed in the target Region, pointing to this replicated database.

Answer

A. Create a read replica of the Aurora Serverless v1 database in the target Region. Use AWS SAM Aurora Serverless v1 does not support cross-Region read replicas, making this option technically unfeasible for meeting the cross-Region DR requirements.
