You must design a multi-Region architecture for an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database used by a web application. The database is deployed from a CloudFormation template that exists in both the primary and secondary Regions. Automated backups are enabled. Recovery objectives: RTO = 15 minutes, RPO = 2 hours. The web app uses an Amazon Route 53 record to route traffic to the database. Which two actions together will produce a highly available, compliant architecture? (Choose two.)

The combination of a cross-Region read replica and Route 53 failover routing meets the RTO and RPO requirements. Creating a cross-Region read replica in the secondary Region provides a continuously updated copy of the primary database, minimizing data loss (RPO = 2 hours, but a read replica offers near-real-time replication, far exceeding this RPO). A Lambda function to promote the read replica ensures a quick recovery time (RTO = 15 minutes). Configuring Route 53 failover routing automatically directs application traffic to the promoted replica in the secondary Region upon detection of a primary database failure, enabling a seamless failover. Incorrect options: Recreating the database from a snapshot will likely exceed the 15-minute RTO due to the time required for restoration and data catch-up. Copying automated backups every 2 hours would result in an RPO of up to 2 hours, but it doesn't address the RTO for database recovery. A hot standby restored from an automatic backup would also likely exceed the RTO due to the restoration time.
