Designing Azure Infrastructure Solutions — Question 67

You need to design a highly available Azure SQL database that meets the following requirements:

• Failover between replicas of the database must occur without any data loss.
• The database must remain available in the event of a zone outage.
• Costs must be minimized.

Which deployment option should you use?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Azure SQL Database Business Critical option is designed for high availability with no data loss during failover and supports zone redundancy, making it ideal for the specified requirements. The other options, while they offer various features, do not guarantee the same level of data protection and availability as the Business Critical tier.
