Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Your company operates a multilingual e-commerce platform that ingests millions of JSON-formatted click-stream events from users worldwide. Data volume grows by about 5 TB each month. Business stakeholders must query the most recent 90 days of events with single-digit millisecond read latency. The storage solution must tolerate flexible schemas, auto-scale ingestion throughput during seasonal peaks, and replicate data transparently to several Azure regions while providing an enterprise-grade availability SLA. Which Azure storage service should you recommend?
Deploy an Azure SQL Database in the Hyperscale compute tier with active geo-replication enabled.
Provision an Azure Cosmos DB account that uses the Core (SQL) API, enables multi-region writes, and configures autoscale throughput.
Store the events as parquet files in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and analyze them with serverless SQL pools in Azure Synapse Analytics.
Persist the JSON events in Azure Table Storage backed by read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).
A globally distributed Azure Cosmos DB account that uses the Core (SQL) API is designed to persist semi-structured JSON documents without requiring a fixed schema. Cosmos DB offers turnkey multi-region replication with multi-master writes and an SLA that guarantees single-digit-millisecond read latency and 99.999 percent availability. Its Autoscale feature adjusts request units per second automatically as traffic fluctuates, ensuring consistent performance during seasonal peaks.
Azure SQL Database Hyperscale is optimized for relational, schema-bound workloads and cannot achieve the required millisecond latency for document retrieval under high scale. Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 excels at analytical throughput on large files but is not intended for low-latency point reads. Azure Table Storage lacks built-in global distribution with multi-master writes and does not provide SLAs for sub-10 ms reads or automatic throughput scaling. Therefore, Azure Cosmos DB is the only option that fully meets all stated requirements.
