Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You manage an e-commerce application that uses a single Azure SQL Database in the General Purpose tier (East US). A recent availability-zone outage made the database unavailable for 20 minutes. New requirements are:

  • Database must stay writable if any single zone in East US fails.
  • Recovery time after a zone failure must be under one minute.
  • Cross-region disaster recovery is not required.
  • No virtual-machine administration is acceptable.

Which change best meets these requirements?

  • Enable auto-failover groups between two Azure SQL Databases in different regions.

  • Migrate to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines configured in an availability set.

  • Upgrade the database to the Business Critical service tier and enable zone-redundant configuration.

  • Configure active geo-replication to a secondary database in Central US.
