IT plans to replicate an S3 bucket of property records to a second AWS Region for disaster recovery. Which cost factor should the architect expect to evaluate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Moving a copy of the property vault to another Region is like shipping boxes to a second warehouse — the road trip between Regions can show up on the bill. It is not free just because both warehouses are AWS, and Dedicated Hosts or CloudFront invalidations are different cost stories.
Full Explanation
Data transfer between AWS Regions is a common cost consideration when enabling cross-Region replication or similar DR copies. Architects should estimate inter-Region transfer in addition to storage. On-premises SAN pricing, Dedicated Host fees, and CloudFront invalidations do not replace that cross-Region transfer analysis for S3 replication.
