A digital publishing company is designing a storage architecture for static web assets. The assets will be hosted in a General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage account. The architecture must satisfy the following criteria:
* Data must survive a complete regional outage of the primary Azure region.
* During normal operations and during a regional outage, client applications must be able to read assets directly from the secondary region without any failover operations being triggered.
Which two storage redundancy configurations should you recommend to meet these requirements?
- Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)Answer
- Read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS)Answer
- CGeo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS)
- DLocally redundant storage (LRS)
Answer
The correct configurations are Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and Read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS).
Both Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and Read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS) replicate data to a secondary region and expose a read-only endpoint in that secondary region, allowing immediate reads without any failover.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Azure Storage redundancy options that provide geo-replication and read access to the secondary region endpoint without requiring failover.
