Question 27
Domain 3: Continuous Improvement for Existing SolutionsA solutions architect is reviewing a workload's recovery plan and needs an approach that supports both security and recovery requirements. Which strategy best aligns with the stated purpose of backup practices and methods?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Backup practices and methods are used to create and manage backups so that security and recovery requirements can be met. When evaluating backup strategy, focus on whether the approach preserves recoverable data in a way that supports those requirements. — AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Professional_Exam-Guide.txt
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Use backups primarily to increase application throughput during peak demand periods
Backups support security and recovery requirements, not performance scaling during peak load.
B. Create and manage backups to support security controls and recovery objectives
The source material defines backup practices and methods as approaches for creating and managing backups to support security and recovery requirements. Because the architect is evaluating a recovery plan with security needs, this directly matches that stated purpose.
C. Rely on backups mainly to reduce network latency between distributed components
Backups address security and recovery requirements, not latency optimization across components.
D. Configure backups chiefly to replace access management and encryption safeguards
Backups support security requirements but do not replace core access management or encryption protections.
