DocumentDB: Global Cluster

[ch34]

Hi,

my topic is about this question:

A company has a web service portal on which users can perform read and write operations to its semi-structured data. The company wants to refactor the current application and leverage AWS-managed services to have more scalability and higher availability. To ensure optimal user experience, the service is expected to respond to short but significant system load spikes. The service must be highly available and fault-tolerant in the event of a regional AWS failure.

In the explanation of one of the wrong answer you are mentioning:

DocumentDb does not offer a native cross-region replication or multi-region operation. You can only automate snapshots to another region which can take some time to restore in the event of regional failure.

I think this is outdated as DocumentDB supports Global Clusters which can do multi-region:

Do you agree?
