Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack — Question 14

You deploy an Azure Stack integrated system. The system contains several tenants that use infrastructure as a service (IaaS) virtual machines.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that if a datacenter fails, you can start the virtual machines as quickly as possible.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. blob snapshots
• B. Microsoft Azure Site Recovery
• C. Microsoft Azure Backup
• D. file-snapshot backups

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice, Microsoft Azure Site Recovery, provides disaster recovery capabilities that enable the quick recovery of virtual machines in case of a datacenter outage. Blob snapshots and file-snapshot backups offer data protection but do not facilitate the rapid recovery and startup of VMs like Azure Site Recovery does. Microsoft Azure Backup is primarily focused on data backup rather than VM recovery speed.
