A solutions architect at a government agency with stringent disaster recovery requirements needs to ensure that all Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) snapshots are stored in at least two additional AWS Regions to maintain the lowest possible operational overhead. Which solution effectively meets these criteria?
Explanation:
The best answer is A: Configure a policy in Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) to automate daily copying of EBS snapshots to additional Regions. This solution meets the requirement of minimal operational overhead while ensuring the snapshots are stored in multiple regions for disaster recovery. Option A leverages AWS's native capabilities for snapshot management, making it a straightforward and efficient approach. Options B and D involve additional steps that increase operational complexity, and option C incorrectly suggests using Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication, which is not suitable for EBS snapshots.
