What is the primary difference between a warm standby and a cold standby system?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Warm standby uses simultaneous writes to all hosts

  • Warm standby relies on live replication instead of periodic backups

  • Cold standby offers faster recovery times

  • Warm standby requires manual intervention to activate

Explicación

1

What is one potential drawback of using a warm standby system?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • High probability of data loss

  • Increased load on the backup database

  • Lack of replication options in modern databases

  • Long downtime during failover

Explicación

Pregunta 7 de 10

1

What is the key characteristic of a hot standby system?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • Writes are replicated periodically

  • It relies on cold backups for recovery

  • Data is written simultaneously to all database hosts

  • It eliminates the need for read scaling

Explicación

1

How does a hot standby system support horizontal scaling?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • By distributing write operations among multiple servers

  • By enabling simultaneous read operations across database hosts

  • By relying on a single database host with backups

  • By using a replication mechanism to synchronize data

Explicación
