Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator responsible for disaster recovery. You have set up Azure Site Recovery to replicate a critical virtual machine to a secondary region. During a planned maintenance window, you need to shift operations to the replicated environment in the secondary region while ensuring the least possible data loss. Which action should you take?
Initiate an Unplanned Failover from the Recovery Services vault
Disable replication and activate the secondary environment
Delete the primary resource to trigger the failover process
Start a Planned Failover from the Recovery Services vault
To ensure minimal data loss during a planned switchover, you should initiate a Planned Failover from the Recovery Services vault. This action synchronizes all pending data changes from the primary location to the secondary location before completing the failover, guaranteeing that the secondary environment is fully up-to-date. An Unplanned Failover skips this synchronization process and is used during unexpected outages, which might lead to data loss. Disabling replication or deleting resources does not initiate a proper failover and can result in service disruptions.
