Exam AZ-700 topic 1 question 17 discussion

Express Route Premium SKU provides ability to connect from on-premises to any of the Azure regions across the globe.

ExpressRoute SKU scope access: • With a Local SKU ExpressRoute circuit, you can connect to resources in Azure regions in the same metro as the peering site. • When you configure a Standard SKU ExpressRoute circuit, connectivity to Azure resources expand to all Azure regions in a geopolitical area. • To allow your on-premises network to access resources globally across all Azure regions, you need to configure an ExpressRoute premium SKU circuit. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-faqs#what-is-the-connectivity-scope-for-different-expressroute-circuit-skus

Why we can't use ER Local SKU to connect NY to VNET1, which has a Global VNET Peering with VNET2, 3 and 4?

I understand that in terms of cost reduction we could configure a standard and peering between Vnets from different regions. BUT... ^^, the question has a "banana peel", because the statement communicates that "The office must have access to all the virtual networks.", and that changes everything, because only the Premium SKU has the ability to have full access to all services and resources of a geopolitical region other than the ER peering. Something that helps us is the diagram and explanation in this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-faqs#what-is-the-connectivity-scope-for-different-expressroute- circuit-skus

4 x Local SKU ER is cheaper than 1 x Premium SKU ER. However since it is not an option, i would go with Answer A

Answer is A If there was 2x standard ExpressRoute circuits available, that would be the most cost-effective answer.

I think is D because you must be minimized cost

An ExpressRoute Premium circuit is a higher-end offering for Azure ExpressRoute that provides increased resiliency and higher bandwidth capabilities compared to the standard ExpressRoute circuits.

Express route premium allows 4 circuits - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-faqs

A is correct

A is correct

One ExpressRoute circuit is required for the office with premium SKU

If you need to connect to multiple geo's then you need express route premium sku. If it is only a single region, then you can use a standard sku.
