Designing Azure Infrastructure Solutions — Question 10

You have SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine. The databases are written to nightly as part of a batch process.
You need to recommend a disaster recovery solution for the data. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Provide the ability to recover in the event of a regional outage.
✑ Support a recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes.
✑ Support a recovery point objective (RPO) of 24 hours.
✑ Support automated recovery.
✑ Minimize costs.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Azure Site Recovery because it provides a robust disaster recovery solution that meets the requirements for regional outages, with an RTO of 15 minutes and an RPO of 24 hours, while also allowing for automated recovery. The other options, such as Azure virtual machine availability sets and Azure Disk Backup, do not fully support the specified recovery objectives or automation needs.
