An administrator is designing a resource layout for a new multi-tier application. The architecture design includes a resource group named rg-app-prod located in the East US region. The plan specifies that all frontend web servers must be deployed in the West US region but placed within rg-app-prod. Additionally, to organize database resources separately, the plan proposes creating a nested resource group named rg-app-db inside rg-app-prod. Which statement correctly describes the feasibility of this planned deployment?
- The deployment is partially supported; resources can be deployed in a different region than their containing resource group, but resource groups cannot be nested.Answer
- BThe deployment is fully supported because Azure resource groups allow multi-level nesting and can contain resources deployed in any Azure region.
- CThe deployment is not supported because all Azure resources must reside in the same geographical region as the resource group that contains them.
- DThe deployment is not supported because nesting resource groups is prohibited and all resources must be deployed in the same region as their resource group.
Answer
The deployment is partially supported; resources can be deployed in a different region than their containing resource group, but resource groups cannot be nested.
The deployment is partially supported because Azure permits resources to be deployed in a region different from their resource group. The resource group's location is only used to store metadata about the resources. However, Azure resource groups cannot contain other resource groups, so nested resource groups are not allowed.
