 D is the correct answer because OSS supports 3 internal data copies, no human intervention is required to recover the data when anything goes wrong. OSS provides high data reliability and durability by storing multiple replicas of data on different devices in the same region. OSS automatically detects and repairs data errors or failures, and ensures data consistency across all replicas. OSS also supports cross-region replication (CRR) to back up data to another region for disaster recovery12

A, B, and C are incorrect answers because they do not reflect the actual backup technology and policies of OSS.

• A is incorrect because OSS does not require manual recovery of data, as it automatically handles data errors or failures.
• B is incorrect because OSS provides data protection and backup for customers, and customers do not need to safeguard their own data or use offsite backups.
• C is incorrect because OSS does not use RAID0+1 configuration of its underlying physical hard disks, but rather uses a distributed storage system that stores multiple replicas of data on different devices.

Server Guard is a cloud-based security service that provides real-time protection for servers against intrusion events, such as brute force password cracking. Server Guard consists of a lightweight agent that is installed on the server and a cloud protection center that analyzes and responds to security threats. Server Guard can help the administrator to reduce the possibility of brute force password cracking by providing the following features1:

• Password cracking protection: Server Guard can detect and block password cracking attempts on servers, such as SSH brute force attacks on Linux servers and RDP brute force attacks on Windows servers. Server Guard can also alert the administrator of the attack source, time, and frequency, and provide suggestions for password strengthening.
• Webshell detection and removal: Server Guard can scan and remove webshells that are maliciously implanted on servers by hackers. Webshells are scripts that allow hackers to remotely execute commands on servers, such as stealing data, uploading files, or launching attacks. Server Guard can identify and delete webshells based on signature matching, behavior analysis, and machine learning.
• Anti-virus and anti-ransomware: Server Guard can detect and terminate various types of malware, such as ransomware, mining programs, backdoor programs, worms, and trojans. Server Guard can also prevent the encryption and deletion of files by ransomware, and restore the files to their original state.
• Security baseline check: Server Guard can perform security baseline checks on servers to evaluate their security posture and compliance level. Server Guard can check more than 40 security items, such as system configuration, account management, network security, and log audit. Server Guard can also provide security hardening suggestions and one-click fixes for the detected issues.
• Security situation awareness: Server Guard can provide a comprehensive and visualized view of the security situation of the servers, such as the number of attacks, the attack sources, the attack types, the attack trends, and the security score. Server Guard can also provide security reports and recommendations for improving the security level of the servers. References: Security Center

 RDS allows users to create multiple databases in one RDS instance, as long as the total storage capacity and performance of the instance are not exceeded. This can help users save costs and simplify management. Users can create, delete, and manage databases in the RDS console or by using SQL commands. However, databases with the same name are not allowed in the same instance, and resources are shared among the databases in the same RDS instance, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network bandwidth. References: Operate and Manage a Relational Database on the Cloud, Alibaba RDS Course | Cloud Academy, ACA Cloud Computing Certification - Alibaba Cloud Academy
