An environmental company is deploying sensors across major cities in a country to measure air quality. These sensors are designed to connect to AWS IoT Core for ingesting time-series data readings, which are then stored in Amazon DynamoDB. To ensure business continuity, the company requires a solution that allows for the ingestion and storage of data across two AWS Regions. Which of the following solutions would effectively meet this requirement?




Explanation:

The correct answer is C. To achieve business continuity with the ability to ingest and store data in two AWS Regions, the recommended solution involves creating a domain configuration for AWS IoT Core in each Region and implementing a failover routing policy using Amazon Route 53. Additionally, you need to update the DynamoDB table to a global table, ensuring data is synchronized across both regions. This approach allows for seamless failover between regions and ensures data availability, fulfilling the requirement for business continuity. Option C effectively meets these criteria without the need to replace DynamoDB with another database or handle the complexity of DynamoDB streams and cross-Region replication.
