A company uses an Amazon Redshift cluster to run its analytical workloads. Corporate policy requires that the company's data be encrypted at rest with customer managed keys. The company's disaster recovery plan requires that backups of the cluster be copied into another AWS Region on a regular basis.

How should a database specialist automate the process of backing up the cluster data in compliance with these policies?

A.
Copy the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key from the source Region to the destination Region. Set up an AWS Glue job in the source Region to copy the latest snapshot of the Amazon Redshift cluster from the source Region to the destination Region. Use a time-based schedule in AWS Glue to run the job on a daily basis.

B.
Create a new AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key in the destination Region. Create a snapshot copy grant in the destination Region specifying the new key. In the source Region, configure cross-Region snapshots for the Amazon Redshift cluster specifying the destination Region, the snapshot copy grant, and retention periods for the snapshot.

B.
Create a new AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key in the destination Region. Create a snapshot copy grant in the destination Region specifying the new key. In the source Region, configure cross-Region snapshots for the Amazon Redshift cluster specifying the destination Region, the snapshot copy grant, and retention periods for the snapshot.
C.
Copy the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer-managed key from the source Region to the destination Region. Create Amazon S3 buckets in each Region using the keys from their respective Regions. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to schedule an AWS Lambda function in the source Region to copy the latest snapshot to the S3 bucket in that Region. Configure S3 Cross-Region Replication to copy the snapshots to the destination Region, specifying the source and destination KMS key IDs in the replication configuration.

D.
Use the same customer-supplied key materials to create a CMK with the same private key in the destination Region. Configure cross-Region snapshots in the source Region targeting the destination Region. Specify the corresponding CMK in the destination Region to encrypt the snapshot.
Answers
D.
Use the same customer-supplied key materials to create a CMK with the same private key in the destination Region. Configure cross-Region snapshots in the source Region targeting the destination Region. Specify the corresponding CMK in the destination Region to encrypt the snapshot.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Create a new AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)Explanation from Amazon documents:Amazon Redshift supports encryption at rest using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master keys (CMKs). To copy encrypted snapshots across Regions, you need to create a snapshot copy grant in the destination Region and specify a CMK in that Region. You also need to configure cross-Region snapshots in the source Region and provide the destination Region, the snapshot copy grant, and retention periods for the snapshots. This way, you can automate the process of backing up the cluster data in compliance with the corporate policies.Option A is incorrect because you cannot copy a CMK from one Region to another. You can only import key material from an external source into a CMK in a specific Region. Option C is incorrect because it involves unnecessary steps of copying snapshots to S3 buckets and using S3 Cross-Region Replication. Option D is incorrect because it is not possible to create a CMK with the same private key as another CMK in a different Region. You can only use customer-supplied key material to create a CMK with a specific key ID in a specific Region.
