Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
HashiCorp recommends that a Consul datacenter stays within the confines of a single physical location – whether that’s an on-premises data center or a public cloud region. If you have workloads spanning multiple locations, you should have a Consul datacenter in each location and WAN join them, also known as federate, the datacenters so services may communicate across those datacenters using service discovery and other Consul features.
