Exam AZ-700 topic 1 question 1 discussion

Expressroute Local supports this particular networking scenario for two reasons. 1) The Washington DC peering location has East US as its Local Azure region. So, you don’t need access to all the Geopolitical locations in order to connect the on-prem DC to Azure. Which means you won’t necessarily need Expressroute standard. 2) ExpressRoute Local is a more economical solution compared to the standard. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-faqs#what-are-the-benefits-of-expressroute-local https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-locations-providers#global-commercial-azure

Wouldn't it be standard since you're required to use an unlimited data plan. I say the answer is express route standard.

o minimize costs while meeting the requirements

To minimize costs while meeting the requirements, you should create an ExpressRoute Local circuit. This option is cost-effective because it allows you to connect to Azure resources within the same peering location (Washington DC) without incurring additional charges for data transfer across regions. It also supports the Unlimited data plan and the required bandwidth of up to 1 Gbps.

ExpressRoute Local circuits are designed for scenarios where your on-premises datacenter and Azure region are in close proximity, which is the case here with both being in Washington DC.

A is correct because Washing is in EastUS geopolitical

Correct.

Circuit bandwidth Local Standard Premium Inbound Outbound 1 Gbps $1,200 $5,700 $6,450 Unlimited Unlimited So Answer is Expressroute Local (Option A)

-Local (if available) provides free egress data transfer and gives you access to only 1-2 Azure regions in the same metro as your circuit. -Standard gives you access to all Azure regions in the same geopolitical region as your circuit. -Premium provides support for more than 4K routes, ability to connect to more than 10 virtual networks, and global connectivity. Premium also gives you access to your services deployed worldwide.

will go with A - one region and unlimited data is fulfilled. It is a classic use case for local SKU

Correct one is A

To minimize costs and support up to 1 Gbps, you should create ExpressRoute Standard circuits. ExpressRoute Standard circuits support up to 1 Gbps and are available with ExpressRoute Unlimited data plans, which provide a cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth connectivity. ExpressRoute Local and ExpressRoute Direct circuits are not suitable for this scenario because they do not support the required bandwidth, and ExpressRoute Premium circuits are not cost-effective for this scenario because they are more expensive than ExpressRoute Standard circuits.

ExpressRoute local, standard, global offer unlimited data plans. ExpressRoute local: access azure region locally ExpressRoute Standard: access azure multiple regions within a geopolotical location. ExpressRoute Global: access azure regions globally/all over the world

Wouldn't the answer be ExpressRoute Premium as that allows for unlimited data on both inbound and outbound traffic? Local only allows for unlimited inbound per the Microsoft document.

so as in my previous message, A
