VMware vRealize Log Insight Specialist — Question 27

A cloud administrator is currently using a third party-supported ISV to protect the virtual machines and files inside the VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC in their
Oregon region. Currently backup jobs are stored on an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket in the Oregon region. The compliance officer has asked the administrator to copy these backups to a different region in case of region failure.
Which solution is the most efficient?

Answer options

• A. Copy S3 backups from the Oregon bucket to a secondary bucket on a region of choice using a snowball.
• B. Copy S3 backups from the Oregon bucket to the on-premises datacenter using a snowball appliance.
• C. Enable S3 Cross Region Replication (CCR) between Oregon and a secondary region of choice.
• D. Copy S3 backups from the Oregon bucket to a secondary bucket on a region of choice through an IPSec tunnel.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as enabling S3 Cross Region Replication (CCR) automates the process of copying backups to another region, ensuring efficiency and compliance with the requirement for region failure protection. Options A and D involve manual processes that are less efficient, while option B unnecessarily complicates the backup strategy by transferring data to an on-premises datacenter instead of directly to another S3 bucket.
