What should you include in the recommendation?

  • A. Azure Site Recovery
  • B. an auto-failover group
  • C. Always On Failover Cluster Instances
  • D. geo-redundant database backups
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Scenario:
✑ The back-end data store is implemented as a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 database.
✑ If a data center fails, ensure that the payment processing system remains available without any administrative intervention.
Note: Auto-failover groups is a SQL Database feature that allows you to manage replication and failover of a group of databases on a SQL Database server or all databases in a managed instance to another region. It is a declarative abstraction on top of the existing active geo-replication feature, designed to simplify deployment and management of geo-replicated databases at scale.

The question is targeting thie requirement: If a data center fails, ensure that the payment processing system remains available without any administrative intervention. The middle-tier and the web front end must continue to operate without any additional configurations. Azure Site Recovery It's used for server recovery and has time outage Always On Failover Cluster Instances this is part of SQL server Always On, not suitable for Azure SQL database or Azure SQl Managed Instance geo-redundant database I guess this means Active geo-replication faeture. This needs manual intervention to execute failover. Correct Answer: Auto-failover Group It allows you to manage the replication and failover of a group of databases to another region. Also it allows you to automatically recover multiple related databases using a user-defined policy
