  1. A company requires their Azure-hosted application to have an RTO of 30 minutes and an RPO of 15 minutes. Which Azure service combination best satisfies these requirements?

    Answer: Azure Site Recovery with replication interval set to 5 minutes and automated failover runbooks

    Azure Site Recovery supports replication intervals as low as 30 seconds, and automated recovery plans (runbooks) enable RTO under 30 minutes while meeting the 15-minute RPO.

  2. Which metric defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time when a disaster occurs?

    Answer: RPO (Recovery Point Objective)

    RPO (Recovery Point Objective) defines the maximum tolerable data loss measured in time — it determines how frequently backups or replication must occur.

  3. An organization needs to replicate Azure VMs to a secondary region for disaster recovery. Which Azure service should they use?

    Answer: Azure Site Recovery

    Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is the primary Azure service for replicating Azure VMs to a secondary region to enable failover in case of a regional outage.

  4. A business wants to ensure that their Azure SQL Database can fail over automatically to a secondary region with minimal data loss. Which feature should they configure?

    Answer: Auto-failover groups with Azure SQL Database

    Auto-failover groups provide a declarative abstraction over active geo-replication, enabling automatic and transparent failover of a group of databases to a secondary region.

  5. Which Azure Backup vault redundancy option provides the highest level of durability by replicating data across paired regions?

    Answer: Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)

    Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) replicates backup data to a paired secondary region, providing protection against regional disasters with the highest durability for Azure Backup vaults.

  6. A solutions architect is designing a multi-region active-passive architecture. Which Azure service should route traffic to the secondary region only when the primary is unavailable?

    Answer: Azure Traffic Manager with Priority routing

    Azure Traffic Manager with Priority routing sends all traffic to the highest-priority endpoint (primary) and automatically fails over to lower-priority endpoints (secondary) when the primary is unhealthy.

  7. When configuring Azure Site Recovery for Azure-to-Azure replication, where are the replicated VM disks temporarily staged?

    Answer: In a cache storage account in the source region

    Azure Site Recovery uses a cache storage account in the source region to temporarily stage replicated data before asynchronously transferring it to managed disks in the target region.
