Microsoft AZ900 Review

Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription.
You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency.
You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option.
You have the following data storage requirements:
✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?

• Geo-redundant storage

• Read-only geo-redundant storage

• Zone-redundant storage

• Locally redundant storage

Answer explanation

RA-GRS allows you to have higher read availability for your storage account by providing ג€read onlyג€ access to the data replicated to the secondary location. Once you enable this feature, the secondary location may be used to achieve higher availability in the event the data is not available in the primary region. This is an

ג€opt-inג€ feature which requires the storage account be geo-replicated.

Your company's Azure subscription includes a Basic support plan.
They would like to request an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft. This is, however, not supported by the existing plan.
You want to make sure that the company subscribes to a support plan that allows this functionality, while keeping expenses to a minimum.
Solution: You recommend that the company subscribes to the Professional Direct support plan.
Does the solution meet the goal?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

The Professional Direct support plan does not include the ability to request an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft. Therefore, subscribing to this plan would not enable the company to achieve their objective of obtaining an assessment of their Azure environment's design. The company should consider subscribing to a support plan that includes the desired functionality, such as Azure Advanced Support or Premier Support, to meet their goal while minimizing expenses.
