Question

A company uses Amazon ElastiCache (Redis OSS) to cache application data. A CloudOps engineer must implement a solution to increase the resilience of the cache. The solution also must minimize the recovery time objective (RTO). Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • AReplace ElastiCache (Redis OSS) with ElastiCache (Memcached).
  • BCreate an Amazon EventBridge rule to initiate a backup every hour. Restore the backup when
  • CCreate a read replica in a second Availability Zone. Enable Multi-AZ for the ElastiCache (Redis

Explanation

Enabling Multi-AZ with automatic failover for ElastiCache for Redis provides high availability and the lowest possible RTO, as Redis automatically promotes a replica to primary if the primary node fails. This ensures near-instant recovery without manual intervention, unlike backup-based solutions, which involve downtime and manual restores.
