Question

An ecommerce company is redesigning a web application to run on the AWS Cloud.

The company needs to deploy the application in a resilient way across multiple Availability Zones. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

**Answer B satisfies every requirement:**

1. **Static content storage → Amazon S3**: S3 is purpose-built for storing static content (images, CSS, JS, HTML). It automatically replicates data across at least 3 Availability Zones within a region, providing 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability. This is the gold standard for static web content.

2. **Microsoft SQL Server database → Amazon RDS for SQL Server**: RDS is a fully managed relational database service that natively supports SQL Server. No need to manage the OS, patching, or backups manually.

3. **Resilient across multiple AZs → Multi-AZ deployment**: RDS Multi-AZ creates a synchronous standby replica in a different AZ. If the primary instance fails, RDS automatically fails over to the standby — typically within 60-120 seconds. This pr
