Good morning team — I’ve added the customer’s revised availability targets. They’re now asking for an RPO below five minutes.

That changes the database recommendation. I think we should move the Current Proposal from single-node RDS to GaussDB with cross-AZ deployment.

Agreed. The network diagram already has two AZs. I’ll update the data layer and attach a clean export before the review.

@Hermes compare the revised requirements against our Current Proposal and flag any resources that need to change.

Hermes PROJECT AGENT

I’ll review the requirements, architecture notes, and current bill of materials now. I’ll report back here when the comparison is complete.

Review complete. I found three changes: replace RDS with a two-node GaussDB cluster, add a second NAT Gateway for AZ independence, and raise Cloud Backup retention from 7 to 30 days. I updated `quotations/recommended-bom.csv` with the proposed quantities.

Before we finalize: do we know whether the customer requires dedicated HSM or whether KMS is sufficient?

Hermes PROJECT AGENT

I can update the security section, but I can’t determine that from the files currently available. @Gabriel, should I assume standard KMS for this revision, or wait for the customer to confirm the HSM requirement?
