Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Contoso is developing a global telematics platform that will ingest up to 60,000 JSON messages per second from vehicles worldwide. Each message is smaller than 4 KB. The solution must provide single-digit millisecond latency for writes in the primary region and for reads in North America, Europe, and Asia. It must automatically index every property to support flexible queries, replicate data to at least three Azure regions, enforce the strongest possible consistency level, and provide automatic regional failover managed by the service. Which Azure data storage solution and configuration should you recommend?
Deploy an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account with one write region, add two additional read regions, set the consistency level to Strong, and enable service-managed automatic failover.
Use Azure Table Storage with read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and query data through the Table API.
Store the JSON files in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 with zone-redundant storage (ZRS) and query them using Azure Synapse serverless SQL pools.
Provision an Azure SQL Database Hyperscale instance in one region and add active geo-replicas in two additional regions.
Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed NoSQL database that guarantees single-digit millisecond latency for writes in the configured write region and for reads in any additional regions when provisioned with sufficient request units. Creating a multi-region Azure Cosmos DB account with one write region and two or more read regions, setting the consistency level to Strong, and enabling service-managed failover fulfills all requirements:
Strong consistency (linearizability) is available only when multi-region writes are disabled, but it remains global across all read regions.
Cosmos DB automatically indexes every property of stored JSON documents without schema configuration.
The service replicates data to every added region and performs automatic failover if the write region becomes unavailable. Alternative services such as Azure Table Storage, Azure SQL Database Hyperscale, or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 cannot simultaneously satisfy the global distribution, low-latency transactional performance, automatic indexing, and strong consistency requirements.
