Question 1

You are designing the storage architecture for a financial application. The application stores transaction receipts in an Azure Storage account.

The business requires that the data remains highly available even if an entire Azure region goes offline. Furthermore, if a region fails, the application must still be able to read the receipts from the secondary region immediately, without waiting for Microsoft to initiate a failover.

Which TWO storage redundancy options meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Look for redundancy options that include 'Geo' (for regional failure) and 'Read-access' (for immediate read availability).

Question 2
