A company has migrated multiple Microsoft Windows Server workloads to Amazon EC2 instances that run in the us-west-1 Region. The company manually backs up the workloads to create an image as needed. In the event of a natural disaster in the us-west-1 Region, the company wants to recover workloads quickly in the us-west-2 Region. The company wants no more than 24 hours of data loss on the EC2 instances. The company also wants to automate any backups of the EC2 instances. Which solutions will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort? (Choose two.)

The two correct options provide automated, cross-region backup solutions with minimal administrative effort. 1. AMI Lifecycle Policy: This option uses Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) to automate the creation and retention of AMIs. By scheduling the backup twice daily and configuring the copy to us-west-2, it meets the RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of 24 hours and the cross-region recovery requirement. DLM handles the automation, reducing administrative overhead. 2. AWS Backup: This service centralizes and automates backup across AWS services. Creating a backup plan with a twice-daily schedule and defining us-west-2 as the copy destination directly addresses all requirements: automation, 24-hour RPO, and cross-region recovery, all with built-in functionality. The incorrect options either involve manual steps (copy on demand), which increases administrative effort and potential for error, or introduce unnecessary complexity like a Lambda function for copying, when AWS Backup or DLM can handle it natively.
