Key AWS Services in This Domain

💡

SAP-C02 scenarios often describe business constraints first. Translate them into architecture qualities before choosing services.

💡

Use managed services when operational burden must be minimized.

💡

Decouple components with queues, topics, events, and workflows when failures or traffic spikes must be absorbed.

💡

Always align DR choices with RPO and RTO. Active-active is powerful but expensive and complex.
