Practice Test 1 | AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate | SAA-C03 | Dumps | Mock Test
Currently, a company uses EBS snapshots to back up their EBS Volumes. As a part of the business continuity requirement, these snapshots need to be made available in another region. How could this be achieved?
A. Directly create the snapshot in the other region.
B. Create Snapshot and copy the snapshot to a new region.
C. Copy the snapshot to an S3 bucket and then enable Cross-Region Replication for the bucket.
D. Copy the EBS Snapshot to an EC2 instance in another region.
Explanation:
Correct Answer – B
AWS Documentation mentions the following:
A snapshot is constrained to the region where it was created. After you create a snapshot of an EBS volume, you can use it to create new volumes in the same region. For more information, follow the link on Restoring an Amazon EBS Volume from a Snapshot below. You can also copy snapshots across regions, making it possible to use multiple regions for geographical expansion, data center migration, and disaster recovery.

Option C is incorrect because the EBS snapshots are stored in S3, which is managed by AWS. We don’t have the option to see the snapshots in S3.
