Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Certification Transition (legacy) — Question 4

You plan to move a web application named App1 from an on-premises data center to Azure.
App1 depends on a custom framework that is installed on the host server.
You need to recommend a solution to host App1 in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ App1 must be available to users if an Azure data center becomes unavailable.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. In two Azure regions, deploy a load balancer and a web app.
• B. Deploy a load balancer and a virtual machine scale set across two availability zones.
• C. In two Azure regions, deploy a traffic manager profile and a web app.
• D. In two Azure regions, deploy a load balancer and a virtual machine scale set.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using a traffic manager profile allows for routing traffic across multiple Azure regions, ensuring availability if one region fails. Options A and D do not provide the necessary traffic management capabilities, while option B's focus on availability zones does not meet the requirement of minimizing costs while ensuring availability across regions.
