Which cloud service is commonly used for automated, policy-based backup of virtual machines in a cloud environment?

Cloud Backup and Recovery service

A healthcare organization stores patient records in a cloud object storage service. Regulatory requirements mandate that backups be retained for 7 years and be immutable. The organization currently uses daily snapshots with a 30-day retention. Which change should be made to meet the compliance requirement?

Enable object lock with retention mode and set the retention period to 7 years.

Use versioning and rely on multi-factor authentication to prevent deletion.

Copy backups to a separate region and set lifecycle policy to delete after 7 years.

Increase snapshot retention to 7 years and store them in the same bucket.

In the context of cloud computing, what is the primary purpose of business continuity (BC) planning?

To ensure that critical business functions can continue during and after a disruptive event

To reduce the cost of cloud services by optimizing resource usage

To restore IT systems and data to their pre-disaster state as quickly as possible

To eliminate all risks of downtime by replicating data in real time

How can compliance requirements affect the execution of a cloud BCDR plan?

They may require that recovery procedures be documented and tested at defined intervals

They have no impact on BCDR planning

They prohibit the use of cloud services for disaster recovery

They require that all BCDR activities be performed manually

Which cloud service is commonly used to orchestrate automated failover and recovery workflows?

Cloud orchestration service (e.g., AWS CloudFormation, Azure Automation)
