A company chooses a lower-standing-cost recovery design. The second region does not normally serve users, but tested images, configuration and recoverable data are prepared there. Deployment/startup time is allowed by its RTO. Which architecture is described?

✓ Correct answer

• Active-passive with a tested recovery-capacity process.

Active-passive can reduce standing compute cost when startup/deployment and dependency recovery fit the tested RTO. Prepare real capacity, not only image copies. Option explanations: A. Active-passive with a tested recovery-capacity process.: The primary serves users and the recovery region is prepared to take over. B. A local availability-zone design that automatically recovers every regional dependency.: Local failure-domain resilience does not describe the stated second-region process. C. Active-active because an image is replicated in two regions.: Image replication alone does not mean both regions actively serve users. D. No recovery planning is required because the AVD control plane is managed.: Customer hosts, data and dependencies still require recovery design.
