AWS - Architecture Best PracticesWhat is the primary risk if the minimal core system in a pilot light disaster recovery setup is not regularly updated?AThe backup data becomes corruptedBCosts increase significantly due to over-provisioningCRecovery time increases due to outdated configurations and softwareDThe warm standby environment automatically scales downCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Identify pilot light update importancePilot light requires the minimal core system to be current to enable quick scaling.Step 2: Understand consequences of outdated systemsIf not updated, recovery time increases as manual updates are needed during failover.Step 3: Exclude other optionsCosts and backup corruption are unrelated; scaling down applies to warm standby, not pilot light.Final Answer:Recovery time increases due to outdated configurations and software -> Option CQuick Check:Outdated pilot light delays recovery [OK]Quick Trick: Outdated pilot light core delays recovery [OK]Common Mistakes:Confusing cost impact with update frequencyAssuming backups get corrupted if core not updatedMixing pilot light with warm standby scaling
