Question

Difficulty: EasyReliability, Predictability, and Disaster Recovery

A logistics company hosts its delivery tracking application in Microsoft Azure. The company wants to guarantee that the application can recover from unexpected database failures and continue to function with minimal disruption.

Which cloud benefit is primarily demonstrated by this ability to recover from failures and remain operational?

  1. ReliabilityAnswer
  2. B
    High availability
  3. C
    Scalability
  4. D
    Economies of scale

Answer

Reliability
Reliability is defined as the ability of a system to recover from failures and continue to function. In this scenario, the system's capability to recover from database failures and maintain operational status directly demonstrates reliability.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the business requirement in the scenario.
The logistics company needs its system to recover from database failures and continue operating.
Identifying the core technical need is the first step in mapping it to a cloud characteristic.
2
Map the requirement to the correct cloud definition.
The definition of reliability is the ability of a system to recover from failures and continue to function.
This direct mapping confirms that reliability is the characteristic being demonstrated.
