Question 1

A company runs a critical 3-tier application on Azure Virtual Machines (Web, App, and Database tiers).

You are designing a disaster recovery solution using Azure Site Recovery (ASR) to replicate the VMs to a secondary region.

Requirements:
- During a failover, the Database tier VMs must boot up first.
- The App tier VMs must boot only after the Database VMs are fully running.
- The Web tier VMs must boot last.
- The failover process must be automated with a single click.

What should you configure in Azure Site Recovery?

Accepted Answer

Identify the requirement to sequence the boot order of multiple VMs during DR. This is the exact purpose of ASR Recovery Plans.

Question 2
