AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A company operates a mission-critical DynamoDB table in us-east-1. Compliance requires an automatic daily backup retained for 7 years and an additional copy kept in us-west-2 for 14 days. Operations wants a fully managed solution with no custom code and minimal storage cost in the source Region. Which solution meets these requirements?
Create an AWS Backup plan that targets the table, schedules a daily backup in us-east-1 with 7-year retention, and adds a cross-Region copy action to us-west-2 with 14-day retention.
Enable point-in-time recovery (PITR) on the table; configure DynamoDB to keep 7-year restore coverage and rely on on-demand restore to any Region.
Convert the table to a global table spanning us-east-1 and us-west-2 and enable PITR in both Regions to satisfy backup and copy requirements.
Use an EventBridge rule to trigger a Lambda function that exports the table to an S3 bucket daily, then replicate the bucket to us-west-2 with S3 cross-Region replication.
AWS Backup supports DynamoDB and can be configured with a backup plan that automatically protects the table, sets long-term retention, and performs cross-Region copies-all without custom scripting. A daily backup rule in us-east-1 with a 7-year retention period satisfies the primary compliance need, while a copy action in the same plan sends each backup to us-west-2 and retains it there for 14 days. Point-in-time recovery alone cannot exceed 35 days of retention and provides no cross-Region copy. Building a Lambda-based export or relying on global tables introduces custom code and extra replication costs but still fails to meet the 7-year retention requirement.
