As a solutions architect, design a DR architecture for a company's MySQL database on an EC2 instance with scheduled backups. The solution must support multiple AWS Regions and minimize operational overhead.




Explanation:

The correct answer is C: 'Adopt Amazon Aurora as a global database with primary and secondary clusters in primary and DR Regions, respectively.' Amazon Aurora global databases provide a high-availability, low-latency disaster recovery solution across multiple AWS Regions. This approach ensures minimal operational overhead because Aurora handles replication and failover processes transparently and efficiently, making it the best choice for disaster recovery with the least operational overhead.
