Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 228

Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription.
You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency.
You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option.
You have the following data storage requirements:
✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Geo-redundant storage
• B. Read-only geo-redundant storage
• C. Zone-redundant storage
• D. Locally redundant storage

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, Read-only geo-redundant storage, as it meets all requirements: it ensures data is stored on multiple nodes in separate geographic locations and allows reading from the secondary site. Option A, Geo-redundant storage, does not allow read access from the secondary location, while C and D do not provide the necessary geographic separation and redundancy for the specified needs.
