Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 254

When an application is designed that requires high availability, what is a reason to use a cross-region cloud?

Answer options

• A. Account for failure in another zone.
• B. Minimize costs.
• C. Protect from a single component failure.
• D. Provide disaster recovery protection.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a cross-region cloud helps ensure high availability by allowing the application to continue functioning even if one region experiences a failure. While minimizing costs, protecting from a single component failure, and providing disaster recovery are important considerations, they do not specifically address the need for high availability across different geographic zones.
