Question 13

Server Name Indication (SNI)

Answer 13

host multiple TLS secured applications, each with its own TLS certificate, behind a single load balancer

to use SNI, all you need to do is bind multiple certificates to the same secure listener on your load balancer

ALB will automatically choose the optimal TLS certificate for each client

Edge computing, Data transfer

supports storage clustering - rack mounted and clustered together to build larger, temporary installations with Snowball Edge Storage Optimized

Question 21

Backup and restore

Answer 21

(RPO in hours, RTO in 24 hours or less): Back up your data and applications using point-in-time backups into the DR Region. Restore this data when necessary to recover from a disaster

Question 22

Pilot light

Answer 22

(RPO in minutes, RTO in hours): Replicate your data from one region to another and provision a copy of your core workload infrastructure. Resources required to support data replication and backup such as databases and object storage are always on. Other elements such as application servers are loaded with application code and configurations, but are switched off and are only used during testing or when Disaster Recovery failover is invoked

Question 23

Warm standby

Answer 23

(RPO in seconds, RTO in minutes): Maintain a scaled-down but fully functional version of your workload always running in the DR Region. Business-critical systems are fully duplicated and are always on, but with a scaled down fleet. When the time comes for recovery, the system is scaled up quickly to handle the production load. The more scaled-up the Warm Standby is, the lower RTO and control plane reliance will be.

Question 24

Multi-region (multi-site)

Answer 24

(RPO near zero, RTO potentially zero): Your workload is deployed to, and actively serving traffic from, multiple AWS Regions. This strategy requires you to synchronize data across Regions. Possible conflicts caused by writes to the same record in two different regional replicas must be avoided or handled. Data replication is useful for data synchronization and will protect you against some types of disaster, but it will not protect you against data corruption or destruction unless your solution also includes options for point-in-time recovery. Use services like Amazon Route 53 or AWS Global Accelerator to route your user traffic to where your workload is healthy.

Question 25
