Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure Administrator managing a production environment that includes several Azure Virtual Machines in the North Europe region. Your company requires a disaster recovery solution that allows failover to the West Europe region in case of a regional outage. You have been tasked with configuring replication of the VMs to the secondary region.
Which of the following steps should you perform first to set up the replication for the VMs?
Create an RSV in the West Europe region.
Enable replication for the virtual machines in the Azure portal.
Install the replication agent on the virtual machines.
Configure a backup policy for the virtual machines.
The first step in configuring disaster recovery for Azure VMs with Azure Site Recovery is to create a Recovery Services vault (RSV). This vault is a management entity that contains the disaster recovery configuration, policies, and metadata. It is a best practice and a requirement to create the vault in a region other than the source region; placing it in the target West Europe region ensures the vault is available during a North Europe regional outage. The vault orchestrates the replication process, where replicated data and recovery points are stored in storage accounts in the target region.
The other options are incorrect. Enabling replication is a subsequent step that is configured within the Recovery Services vault. Configuring a backup policy is an action related to Azure Backup, not Azure Site Recovery's replication capabilities. For Azure-to-Azure VM disaster recovery, the process is agentless, meaning you do not need to manually install a replication agent on the source virtual machines.
