Designing Azure Infrastructure Solutions — Question 36

You plan to migrate on-premises MySQL databases to Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server.

You need to recommend a solution for the Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server configuration. The solution must meet the following requirements:

• The databases must be accessible if a datacenter fails.
• Costs must be minimized.

Which compute tier should you recommend?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The General Purpose compute tier is the best choice as it balances cost and performance while providing high availability, which is essential for ensuring accessibility during a datacenter failure. The Burstable tier may not provide the reliability needed for critical applications, and the Memory Optimized tier is typically more expensive, making it less suitable for cost minimization.
