Your company runs a customer-facing event registration site. This site is built with a three-tier architecture with web and application tier servers and a MySQL database. The application requires six web tier servers and six application tier servers for normal operation but can run on a minimum of 65 percent server capacity and a single MySQL database. When deploying this application in a region with three Availability Zones (AZs), which architecture provides high availability?

Which of these solutions would you recommend and why?

Option A. A web tier deployed across two AZs with three Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; an application tier deployed across two AZs with three Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; and one Amazon RDS instance deployed with reading replicas in the other AZ.

Option B. A web tier deployed across three AZs with two Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; an application tier deployed across three AZs with two Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; and one Amazon RDS instance deployed with reading replicas in the two other AZs.

Option C. A web tier deployed across three AZs with two Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; an application tier deployed across three AZs with two Amazon EC2 instances in each AZ inside an Auto Scaling group behind an ELB; and a Multi-AZ Amazon RDS deployment.
