A company is designing a solution that uses Azure Databricks.
The solution must be resilient to regional Azure datacenter outages.
You need to recommend the redundancy type for the solution.
What should you recommend?

  • A. Read-access geo-redundant storage
  • B. Locally-redundant storage
  • C. Geo-redundant storage
  • D. Zone-redundant storage
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
If your storage account has GRS enabled, then your data is durable even in the case of a complete regional outage or a disaster in which the primary region isn't recoverable.

zone is part od a region, not vice-versa, so D can't be the answer

The question says if a data center goes down.. not if a region goes down. A region can host multiple data centers. So if one is down another data center from same region can take its place

The answer is correct, as it mentions "regional Azure datacenter outages". Thus the outages are for all the data center in a region, therefore ZRS can be ruled out. GRS is correct

there is a difference between 1 datacenter and the whole region. Your link is a prove for ZRS

"regional Azure datacenter outages" it says regional. so how it would be ZRS? GRS is the answer.

While regional outage happen databricks cannot replicate to zone so we need to create in another region

But the question talks about regional datacenter outage. ZRS should suffice.

Services resiliency All Azure management services are architected to be resilient from region-level failures. In the spectrum of failures, one or more Availability Zone failures within a region have a smaller failure radius compared to an entire region failure. Azure can recover from a zone-level failure of management services within the region or from another Azure region. Azure performs critical maintenance one zone at a time within a region, to prevent any failures impacting customer resources deployed across Availability Zones within a region. seems it should be D - Zone Redundancy

On the second though, we need RA-GRS to configure Databricks recovery - you'll have to remount all the data mounts therefore, you'll need your data available, therefore, RA is necessary. Unless you want to remount your data during the disaster recovery.

They indeed recommend using geo-redundant storage. So it is answer C as suggested.

they reccomend geo-redundand because they are speaking of creating your own regional disaster recovery topology, the question is referring to a regional datacenter outage not a regional outage. a datacenter outage , the datacenter is inside a region, the solution to me is zone redundant (another datacenter in the same region)

Yes D is the right answer as it says datacenter outage in a region. The jumbling of words is causing confusion here.
