Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Configure and Manage — Question 8

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is managing a large environment with multiple locations. The setup is as follows:
- The setup has a single Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site with multiple zones such as a Primary zone and 3 Satellite zones.
-Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs) are available for all applications in all 3 Satellite zones.
-An application 'app1' has its application database located in Satellite zone.
-As a sovereign mandate, it is desirable that this application database should NOT be accessible from zones 2 and 3.
-The application does NOT create any database cache and cannot work if the database is NOT reachable. -The outage is acceptable for complying with the sovereign mandate.
Which zone preference should the engineer configure to achieve this setup?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting a mandatory application home to Satellite zone 1 ensures that the application 'app1' is only accessible from that zone, thus preventing access from zones 2 and 3, which complies with the sovereign mandate. The other options do not restrict access to the application database as effectively as option A does, which is crucial in this scenario.
