CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 17

A cloud administrator is managing two private cloud environments. In cloud A, the disaster recovery solution has an SLA for RPO of five minutes and RTO of one hour. In cloud B, the disaster recovery solution has an SLA for RPO of one hour and RTO of 24 hours. A new customer's application requires that, in case of a disaster, no more than 15 minutes of data can be lost, and it should be fully recovered within one day. Which of the following would be the BEST approach to this application?

Answer options

• A. Tell the customer cloud A is the best solution
• B. Put it in cloud B and ask the customer to create snapshots every 15 minutes
• C. Both cloud A and cloud B would suit the customer's needs
• D. Change the cloud B disaster recovery solution so RPO will be 15 minutes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because cloud A meets the customer's requirements with its RPO of five minutes and RTO of one hour, ensuring minimal data loss and quick recovery. Option B is inadequate as relying on snapshots does not change the RPO and RTO provided by cloud B. Option C is incorrect since cloud B does not meet the RPO requirement, and option D is not feasible without significant changes to cloud B's infrastructure.
