Question 13
You have created an Azure AI Search resource in Azure and have opted for the standard S1 tier. Due to organic growth, the index sizes have increased, which could lead to performance issues and difficulty in handling query load. There are two possible solutions to address this problem:
Option 1: Add additional search units (SU) to the Sl tier
Option 2: Upgrade to a standard S2 tier
Based on the scenario presented, Option 2 would be the selection.
Is this statement True or False?

A
True

B
False
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
B.
For an index size of 180GB, you would need 8 partitions. With a replica count of 3, the total number of search units would be 24 (8 partitions x 3 replicas). Adding more search units to the S1 tier would cost $6000, which is more expensive than upgrading to the Standard S2 tier.
