Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Your company runs a business-critical workload on a single Azure SQL Database in the General Purpose tier in West Europe. Compliance policy requires that if the entire region becomes unavailable, the application must automatically fail over to another Azure region within one minute and lose at most five seconds of committed data. The solution must involve minimal administrative effort.

Which data-protection solution should you recommend?

  • Enable Azure SQL Database active geo-replication and configure the application to switch connection strings manually after a failure.

  • Configure an Azure SQL Database auto-failover group between West Europe and North Europe using the Business Critical service tier with automatic failover.

  • Enable Azure Backup with geo-redundant storage and rely on point-in-time restore to recreate the database in North Europe after an outage.

  • Migrate the database to SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines deployed in an availability set and protect it with Azure Site Recovery.
