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

An organization plans to deploy a multi-tier web application in Azure. The database virtual machine needs to be deployed in the East Asia region for local data residency compliance, while the web server virtual machine needs to be deployed in the West US region. The administration team wants to manage the lifecycle of all these virtual machines together under a single resource group named App-RG, which is created in the West US region. Which of the following statements correctly describes the validity of this deployment?

  1. The deployment is valid, as Azure resources can be located in a different region than the resource group containing them.Answer
  2. B
    The deployment is invalid because all resources must be located in the same region as their containing resource group.
  3. C
    The deployment is invalid because you must nest a region-specific resource group for East Asia inside the main West US resource group.
  4. D
    The deployment is valid, and any resource tags applied to the resource group will automatically be inherited by all the virtual machines.

Answer

The deployment is valid, as Azure resources can be located in a different region than the resource group containing them.
The correct option is valid because a resource group's location is only used to store its metadata. The actual resources within the group can be deployed to any supported Azure region based on application architecture and compliance requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between resource locations and resource group locations in Azure.
Confirm that a resource group stores metadata in its own region, but the resources it manages can be deployed in any supported region globally.
To verify if resources are restricted to the location of their resource group.
2
Evaluate the rules for resource group nesting.
Confirm that Azure resource groups are flat collections and cannot be nested.
To check if nesting is a valid structure in Azure.
3
Evaluate the rules for tag inheritance.
Confirm that resources do not automatically inherit tags from their resource group.
To determine if tag inheritance makes the deployment automatically inherit tags.

Key Concept

Azure Resource Group boundaries, location independence, lack of nesting support, and tag inheritance rules.
