Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Your organization hosts a mission-critical Windows Server virtual machine (VM) in Azure. Business continuity requirements state that if the primary Azure region becomes unavailable, the workload must be started in another Azure region within 2 hours and with no more than 15 minutes of data loss. The operations team also wants the simplest possible ongoing management. Which approach should you recommend?

  • Schedule an Azure Automation runbook to create snapshots of the VM's managed disks every 15 minutes and copy them to a storage account in another region.

  • Enable Azure Site Recovery for the VM, replicating it to a secondary Azure region with a 15-minute replication frequency and planned failover orchestration.

  • Place the VM in an availability set and convert its managed disks to zone-redundant storage (ZRS).

  • Configure Azure Backup to take daily backups of the VM and enable cross-region restore (CRR).
