Q

As it relates to Global Applications Architecture:

1 Single Region, Single AZ
2. Single Region, Multi AZ
3. Multi Region, Active-Passive
4. Multi-Region, Active-Active

A - write to only “active”, replication to “read”, users can read from “read”, “write” does not have global latency (as writing is to only one region) but “read” is global as it can be done from multiple regions

B - has high availability, lack of global latency, relatively easy to setup

C - read and write to multiple regions, global latency for read and write, most difficult to setup

D - lack of high availability, lack of global latency, easy to setup

A

1 - D
2 - B
