AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 189

A company uses Amazon Redshift for its data warehouse. The company wants to ensure high durability for its data in case of any component failure.
What should a solutions architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Enable concurrency scaling.
• B. Enable cross-Region snapshots.
• C. Increase the data retention period.
• D. Deploy Amazon Redshift in Multi-AZ.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enabling cross-Region snapshots allows the company to back up its data in a different geographic location, providing protection against regional failures and ensuring high durability. The other options do not specifically address durability; concurrency scaling helps with performance, increasing retention period affects data availability, and Multi-AZ deployment primarily focuses on high availability rather than durability.
