Question 15
Your company has a Microsoft Azure subscription. The company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. 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?
-
A
ZRS (Zone-redundant storage)
-
B
RA-GRS (Read only geo-redundant storage)
-
C
GRS (Geo redundant storage)
-
D
LRS (Locally redundant storage )
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
With GRS, the data in the secondary region isn't available for read or write access unless there's a failover to the primary region. For read access to the secondary region, configure your storage account to use read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).
