   An organization runs a mission-critical application on an on-premises ONTAP system. They want to use Cloud Volumes ONTAP in a cloud environment as a disaster recovery target. The application has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 2 hours and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 30 minutes. The WAN link between the sites has limited bandwidth. The architect must choose a replication strategy that meets both objectives while minimizing the impact on the WAN link. Which strategy should the architect choose?

   • AUse a combination of SnapMirror for the initial copy and then rely on the cloud provider's native replication for ongoing updates.
   • BUse SnapVault for disk-to-disk backup and restore the data to the cloud in the event of a disaster.
   • CUse SnapMirror asynchronous replication with a 30-minute schedule and test the failover procedure regularly.
   • DUse SnapMirror synchronous replication to ensure zero data loss and a faster RTO.

   What is the primary purpose of the cloud component in a hybrid cloud architecture?

   • ATo provide on-demand, scalable resources that complement on-premises capacity
   • BTo serve as a backup for on-premises data with no other integration
   • CTo provide a separate, isolated environment that does not interact with on-premises systems
   • DTo replace all on-premises infrastructure with a fully managed environment

   What is the main benefit of storage virtualization in a hybrid cloud?

   • AIt makes all storage protocols identical
   • BIt guarantees unlimited storage capacity
   • CIt abstracts physical storage so that data can be moved and managed independently of the underlying hardware
   • DIt eliminates the need for data encryption

   A company has a multi-site hybrid cloud environment with ONTAP clusters in two data centers and Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances in two cloud regions. The IT operations team is small and wants to automate routine tasks like provisioning new volumes, applying consistent QoS policies, and monitoring capacity across all sites. They also want to use infrastructure-as-code to manage the storage configuration. Which approach should the architect recommend?

   • AWrite custom scripts that SSH into each ONTAP system individually and run CLI commands for provisioning and monitoring.
   • BUse the cloud provider's native orchestration tools (e.g., AWS CloudFormation) to manage Cloud Volumes ONTAP and on-premises ONTAP clusters.
   • CDeploy a separate management VM in each site and use a configuration management tool like Ansible to manage each ONTAP system independently.
   • DUse Cloud Manager as the central control plane and leverage its REST API to integrate with a CI/CD pipeline for automated provisioning and policy management.
