A pharmaceutical company named Apex BioPharm is designing a business continuity solution for a clinical trials database application. The application writes critical patient monitoring logs to an Azure Storage account.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
- If the primary Azure region experiences an outage, data must remain readable from the secondary region.
- In the event of a disaster, write capabilities must be restored in the secondary region with a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of hours.
- The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) must be less than minutes.
- Costs must be minimized.
Which two actions should you recommend to meet the requirements? (Select TWO.)
- Configure the storage account to use Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).Cevap
- Initiate a customer-managed failover of the storage account to the secondary region if a primary region outage occurs.Cevap
- CConfigure the application to redirect write operations to the secondary storage endpoint if the primary endpoint becomes unavailable.
- DConfigure the storage account to use Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) and configure Azure Backup to replicate snapshots to a secondary region vault every hours.
Cevap
The correct actions are to configure the storage account to use Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and to initiate a customer-managed failover of the storage account to the secondary region during a primary region outage.
To support read availability in the secondary region during a primary region outage, the storage account must be configured with Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS). RA-GRS provides a secondary read-only endpoint. Because the secondary endpoint is read-only, write operations cannot be routed to it directly. To restore write capabilities in the secondary region within the -hour RTO, you must initiate a customer-managed failover, which changes the secondary region to the primary region and makes it writable.
