CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 566

A site reliability engineer is designing a recovery strategy that requires quick failover to an identical site if the primary facility goes down. Which of the following types of sites should the engineer consider?

Answer options

• A. Recovery site
• B. Hot site
• C. Cold site
• D. Warm site

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Hot site is designed for immediate failover with up-to-date data and systems, making it the best choice for quick recovery. A Recovery site is a general term that doesn't specify the immediacy of failover, while Cold and Warm sites involve longer recovery times and are not equipped for rapid transitions.
