How does multi-site active/active differ from hot standby?

  1. Active/active uses one Region, while hot standby uses several
  2. Active/active relies on backups, while hot standby relies on replication
  3. Active/active has a higher recovery point objective
  4. Active/active serves users from every Region, while hot standby serves from one
Show the answer

Answer: D. Active/active serves users from every Region, while hot standby serves from one

Both stand up full environments in several Regions; the difference is whether the extra Regions take user traffic or wait for recovery.
