HOTSPOT -
You plan to migrate on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases to Azure.
You need to recommend a deployment and resiliency solution that meets the following requirements:
✑ Supports user-initiated backups
✑ Supports multiple automatically replicated instances across Azure regions
✑ Minimizes administrative effort to implement and maintain business continuity
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: an Azure SQL database -
Incorrect answers:
User imitated backups are not supported by Azure SQL Managed instance.

Box 2: Active geo-replication -
Active geo-replication required to multiple automatically replicated instances across Azure regions.
You can manage Azure SQL Database security for geo-restore. SQL database cannot be used for geo-restore.
Incorrect:
Not SQL Server: Active geo-replication requires Azure SQL database.

Azure SQL Managed instances & Auto Failover Group - supports User Initiated Backups and minimizes administrative effort for business continuity. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/sql-managed-instance-paas-overview?view=azuresql - Auto failover groups https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/framework/services/data/azure-sql-managed-instance/reliability

Really think it is MI. Microsoft's user initiated backup is a workaround and does not work in all Azure SQL scenarios...https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1367837/how-to-initiate-an-on-demand-backup-of-an-azure-ms

Based on the below info i would choose MI and Failover-Group Active Geo-Replication: *Configuration: Active Geo-Replication is set up per database and supports manual failover. It allows you to create readable secondary databases in a different Azure region. *Use Case: It’s designed as a business continuity solution, providing a way to maintain a copy of your primary database for disaster recovery purposes. *Number of Secondaries: You can have up to four secondaries for a single primary database. *Applicability: Active Geo-Replication is specific to Azure SQL Database. *Failover: Manual failover is initiated by the user.

Finish off => Failover Groups: *Configuration: Failover Groups operate at the server level and allow you to manage replication and failover of a group of databases on a server (or all databases in a managed instance) to another region. *Use Case: It’s suitable for scenarios where you want to manage multiple databases together, ensuring coordinated failover. *Number of Copies: Failover Groups can only have one copy in a different region. *Applicability: Failover Groups are applicable to both Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL DB managed instance. *Failover: Failover is automated and managed by the system. Backups: Even though MI is copy-only backup it is suffice for this task, More info here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/features-comparison?view=azuresql https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/failover-group-sql-mi?view=azuresql

If priority is minimal administrative effort and the ability to automate replication across regions with built-in failover, then Azure SQL Database single database with auto-failover group is the way to go.

SQL Managed instance supports "copy-only" backups if initiated by users in other words it is not really a backup then. Hence SQL Managed instance is ruled out. Azure SQL DB single DB supports multiple replicas across multiple regions. Hence given answers are correct.

I think it should be Azure SQL managed instance and Auto failover group. Since user initiated backups are supported only in SQL managed instances... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/features-comparison?view=azuresql

keyword is "Supports multiple automatically replicated instances" also supports user initiated backups, the only option would be managed instance. Second answer is auto-failover as managed instances don't support active geo replication.

Deployment Solution: c. Azure SQL Database Single Database Azure SQL Database Single Database supports user-initiated backups and minimizes administrative effort as it is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) database engine. Resiliency Solution: b. Active Geo-Replication Active Geo-Replication supports multiple automatically replicated instances across Azure regions and provides a business continuity solution with minimal administrative effort. It allows for up to four readable secondary databases in the same or different data center locations (regions).

The recommended deployment solution is Azure SQL Managed Instance and the recommended resiliency solution is Auto-failover groups. This combination supports user-initiated backups, multiple automatically replicated instances across Azure regions, and minimizes administrative effort to implement and maintain business continuity.

passing with 979 seems so suspicious and unnecessary. Microsoft may eventually kill this site. Don't be selfish.
