A statewide benefits system must continue serving citizens after a rare Region-wide disruption. Which approach best supports that disaster-recovery goal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the whole Region is the problem, another AZ in that same Region cannot save you—you need a second geographic Region. For a statewide benefits system, multi-Region design is how you plan disaster recovery and business continuity. Caching park maps at the edge or clinging to one AZ does not replace a recovery Region.
Full Explanation
Disaster recovery for Region-scale events typically involves multi-Region strategies so workloads or data can resume from another geographic AWS Region. Multi-AZ protects against AZ failures inside one Region; it does not cover a full Region impairment. Civic systems such as statewide benefits often evaluate multi-Region DR for continuity requirements. Edge caches alone cannot host authoritative transactional databases after a Regional outage.
