    AZ-900 · Question 16 · Domain 1.4: Additional Cloud Concepts

    A company requires their application to automatically switch to a secondary geographic region if the primary region experiences a complete outage due to a natural disaster. Which cloud concept does this requirement describe?

    Answer options:

    A.

    High availability

    B.

    Disaster recovery

    C.

    Fault tolerance

    D.

    Elasticity

    How to approach this question

    Differentiate between localized failures (HA) and catastrophic regional failures (DR).

    Full Answer

    B.Disaster recovery✓ Correct
    Disaster recovery (DR) is about preparing for and recovering from major outages, such as a natural disaster taking a whole datacenter or region offline. It involves replicating data and services to a secondary region.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing High Availability (HA) with Disaster Recovery (DR). HA keeps things running during normal operations and minor failures. DR is the backup plan for catastrophic failures.
