Difficulty: EasyAzure Resources, Resource Groups, Subscriptions, and Management Groups

A company's cloud engineering team is deploying a web application using Azure App Service and Azure SQL Database. The team decides to place all related web resources into a single resource group for easier lifecycle management. The resource group is configured in the East US region. Which of the following is a valid configuration for these resources and their resource group?

  1. The Azure SQL Database can be deployed to the West US region while remaining in the East US resource group.Answer
  2. B
    The Azure SQL Database must be deployed in the East US region because resources must share the same region as their parent resource group.
  3. C
    The App Service must be deployed inside a nested resource group created within the primary resource group.
  4. D
    Any resource tags applied to the East US resource group will automatically propagate to the Azure SQL Database.

Answer

The Azure SQL Database can be deployed to the West US region while remaining in the East US resource group.
The correct option is correct because Azure resources do not need to share the same region as the resource group that contains them. A resource group can contain resources deployed across different geographical regions, as the resource group's location is only used to store deployment metadata.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between the location of a resource group and the location of the resources inside it.
A resource group's location specifies where its deployment metadata is stored. However, the resources inside the resource group can be located in any supported Azure region.
To verify if resources are restricted to the region of their resource group.
2
Evaluate the possibility of nesting resource groups in Azure.
Azure does not support nesting resource groups. A resource group is a flat logical container.
To eliminate configurations that assume nesting is supported.
3
Check the behavior of tag inheritance between resource groups and resources.
By default, resource tags applied at the resource group level do not automatically propagate or inherit down to individual resources.
To verify if the tag propagation option is valid.
