A software development team is setting up a multi-tier application in Azure. They have created a resource group named App-RG in the North Europe region. The project requirements specify:
1. A database must be deployed in the West Europe region to comply with data residency guidelines.
2. A set of storage accounts must be grouped in a nested sub-resource group inside App-RG to isolate administrative permissions.
Which of the following describes the correct deployment approach for these requirements?
- Deploy the database in the West Europe region within App-RG, and create a separate, standard resource group for the storage accounts.Answer
- BDeploy the database in the West Europe region within App-RG, and create a nested resource group inside App-RG to host the storage accounts.
- CDeploy the database in the North Europe region to match the region of App-RG, and create a separate, standard resource group for the storage accounts.
- DDeploy the database in the North Europe region to match the region of App-RG, and create a nested resource group inside App-RG to host the storage accounts.
Answer
Deploy the database in the West Europe region within App-RG, and create a separate, standard resource group for the storage accounts.
The correct answer correctly identifies that resources are not restricted to their resource group's location, allowing a West Europe database to reside in a North Europe resource group. It also correctly notes that because resource groups cannot be nested in Azure, a separate resource group must be created to isolate the storage accounts' permissions.
