Disaster Recovery — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions
Disaster recovery planning involves defining strategies and procedures to restore systems and data after a catastrophic failure, and it is a significant topic on the Professional Cloud Architect exam. Key metrics include Recovery Time Objective, the maximum acceptable downtime, and Recovery Point Objective, the maximum acceptable data loss. Architects must compare DR strategies such as backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby, and active-active across cost, complexity, and recovery speed dimensions, and map them to the appropriate Google Cloud services.
