A company decides that its e-commerce site must be back online within 4 hours of a disaster. Which metric does this 4-hour target represent?

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

A media streaming service runs its application on multiple virtual machines in the same availability zone. Users occasionally experience downtime when a VM fails. The company wants to improve availability without changing the application code. Which action should they take?

Increase the CPU and memory of each VM.

Move the application to a single larger VM.

Enable detailed monitoring on each VM.

Place the VMs in an auto-scaling group across multiple availability zones.

What is the main purpose of a disaster recovery plan in cloud computing?

To improve the performance of applications

To prevent any downtime during normal operations

To restore operations after a catastrophic event

To reduce the cost of cloud services

A company sets an RPO of 15 minutes for its customer database. What does this mean for their backup strategy?

They must store backups in 15 different locations

They must back up the database at least every 15 minutes

They must restore the database within 15 minutes of a disaster

They must keep 15 copies of the database

A company runs a customer-facing web application on a single virtual machine in one availability zone. The application is critical, and the business has set a recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes. The IT team wants to minimize downtime if the VM fails. Which approach best meets the RTO?

Deploy a second VM in a different availability zone and place both behind a load balancer.

Configure the VM to automatically restart if it becomes unresponsive.

Take nightly snapshots of the VM and store them in object storage.

Increase the VM size to handle higher load and reduce the chance of failure.
