AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 455

You would like to create a mirror image of your production environment in another region for disaster recovery purposes.
Which of the following AWS resources do not need to be recreated in the second region? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Route 53 Record Sets
• B. IAM Roles
• C. Elastic IP Addresses (EIP)
• D. EC2 Key Pairs
• E. Launch configurations
• F. Security Groups

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Route 53 and IAM are global AWS services, meaning Route 53 Record Sets and IAM Roles are globally available and do not need to be recreated for another region. Conversely, Elastic IP Addresses, EC2 Key Pairs, Launch configurations, and Security Groups are region-specific resources that must be recreated in the destination region.
