CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 54

An organization wants to move non-essential services into a cloud computing environment. Management has a cost focus and would like to achieve a recovery time objective of 12 hours. Which of the following cloud recovery strategies would work BEST to attain the desired outcome?

Answer options

• A. Duplicate all services in another instance and load balance between the instances,
• B. Establish a hot site with active replication to another region within the same cloud provider.
• C. Set up a warm disaster recovery site with the same cloud provider in a different region.
• D. Configure the systems with a cold site at another cloud provider that can be used for failover.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option, C, is suitable because a warm disaster recovery site allows for a balance between cost and recovery time, making it feasible to meet the 12-hour RTO. Option A would be more expensive with no guaranteed recovery time, option B requires more resources for active replication, and option D would result in longer recovery times due to the cold site setup.
