Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Contoso runs 15 on-premises VMware virtual machines and 10 Azure virtual machines in the East US region. Senior management mandates a disaster-recovery strategy that provides an RPO of no more than five minutes and an RTO of no more than 30 minutes while keeping Azure compute costs as low as possible during normal operations. Failover must land in the East US 2 region. Which solution should you recommend?

  • Use Azure Site Recovery: replicate the on-premises VMware VMs to an Azure Recovery Services vault in East US 2 and enable Azure-to-Azure VM replication from East US to East US 2, creating target VMs only during failover.

  • Protect all VMs with Azure Backup configured for daily backups, and rely on instant restore in East US 2 during a disaster.

  • Take geo-redundant managed disk snapshots of each VM every hour and recreate the virtual machines from the snapshots in East US 2 when needed.

  • Deploy an identical set of VMs in East US 2, keep them running continuously, and configure Azure Traffic Manager for automatic failover.
