Question

Difficulty: EasyContainer-Based Workloads

An organization plans to deploy a containerized order-processing application to Azure. The application must be deployed across two separate regions (East US and West US) to meet local data sovereignty requirements.

The solution must satisfy the following requirements:
- Support event-driven scaling of containers using KEDA.
- Minimize administrative and operational overhead.
- Ensure container logs do not cross regional boundaries.

Which two configurations should you recommend in the design? (Select two.)

  1. Azure Container Apps to host the application containersAnswer
  2. A separate Log Analytics workspace in each deployment regionAnswer
  3. C
    Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to host the application containers
  4. D
    A single centralized Log Analytics workspace for all regions

Answer

To meet the requirements, the design should include Azure Container Apps to host the application containers, and a separate Log Analytics workspace in each deployment region.
The correct options are using Azure Container Apps for hosting the containers and setting up a separate Log Analytics workspace in each region. Azure Container Apps provides serverless container hosting that natively supports event-driven scaling using KEDA while minimizing infrastructure management. Using a separate Log Analytics workspace in each region ensures that telemetry and console logs are kept within the respective geographical regions, complying with local data sovereignty requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate compute hosting requirements to minimize administrative overhead and support event-driven scaling with KEDA.
Azure Container Apps is selected because it is a serverless platform that supports KEDA scaling natively with lower administrative overhead than Azure Kubernetes Service.
Azure Kubernetes Service requires cluster management and configuration, which increases operational effort.
2
Evaluate logging requirements to ensure compliance with regional data sovereignty limits.
Separate Log Analytics workspaces are selected in East US and West US.
A single centralized workspace would route logs across regional boundaries, violating the requirement to keep logs locally within the region.

Key Concept

Selecting container hosting and monitoring strategies in Azure based on scaling, administrative overhead, and regional compliance requirements.
