Hot Standby — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions

A hot standby is a fully operational duplicate of a production environment that is continuously synchronized and can assume traffic immediately if the primary fails, achieving near-zero recovery time. On the Professional Cloud Architect exam, hot standby is examined in the context of high-availability and disaster recovery design, typically contrasted with warm and cold standby approaches. Architects must weigh the higher cost of maintaining duplicate infrastructure against the recovery time requirements specified in business continuity requirements.
