    AZ-305 · Question 46 · Domain 4.2: Design an application architecture

    A global gaming company uses Azure Cache for Redis to store player session state and real-time leaderboard data.

    The architecture must meet the following requirements:

    • The cache must be replicated across two Azure regions (US East and Europe West).
    • In the event of a regional outage, the secondary region must take over automatically with zero data loss.
    • The cache must support datasets larger than 100 GB.

    Which Azure Cache for Redis tier must you recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Basic tier

    B.

    Standard tier

    C.

    Premium tier

    D.

    Enterprise tier

    How to approach this question

    Identify the requirement for 'cross-region automatic failover with zero data loss' (Active Geo-Replication), which is exclusive to the Enterprise tier.

    Full Answer

    D.Enterprise tier✓ Correct
    Enterprise tier
    Azure Cache for Redis offers several tiers. Premium supports passive geo-replication, where the secondary cache is read-only, failover is manual, and data loss can occur. The Enterprise and Enterprise Flash tiers support Active Geo-Replication. This creates an active-active cluster across multiple regions, providing automatic failover, 99.999% availability, and zero data loss, which is required for this scenario.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Premium tier, assuming its geo-replication is automatic and lossless. Premium geo-replication is passive and manual.
