AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 920

A company needs to design an AWS disaster recovery plan to cover multiple geographic areas.
Which action will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Configure multiple AWS accounts.
• B. Configure the architecture across multiple Availability Zones in an AWS Region.
• C. Configure the architecture across multiple AWS Regions.
• D. Configure the architecture among many edge locations.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Deploying resources across multiple AWS Regions provides the geographic separation necessary for a robust disaster recovery plan, protecting against large-scale natural disasters or regional outages. Availability Zones are located within the same geographic area and may be affected by the same regional event, while multiple accounts and edge locations do not address regional disaster recovery requirements for core infrastructure.
