Hey guys, recently started working at a new company that's moving their
Oracle database to AWS.

One of the things they want is a near-0 RPO.

I was looking into AWS snapshot and replication to accomplish this which
seems pretty doable.
Either in the same region or into another region in case the region was
down/unavailable.

So I'm looking for two things:
1.) Other options?  Active-Passive setup in 2 different regions?  (Like
Failover but non-RAC)
2.) Anyone using AWS and snapshot copies & replication for Oracle in AWS?
