Question

You are implementing a database on Azure SQL Database. The database will be used by a website hosted in Azure. The database has the following requirements: - Latency between the application and the database should be minimized. - Point-in-time restore must be supported for data loss within the last six days. - Up to one hour of lost updates is acceptable. - The data must be recoverable if there is an outage in a single region. You need to configure the database to meet the requirements. Your solution should be the one with the lowest cost. Which two steps should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

Options

  • AEnable Geo-Restore.
  • BDeploy a Standard Tier database.
  • CDeploy a Basic Tier database.
  • DEnable Standard Geo-Replication.
  • EDeploy a Premium Tier database.

Explanation

You should deploy a Basic Tier database and enable Geo-Restore. Geo-Restore is the least expensive recovery solution and the only recovery solution supported at the Basic Tier. Geo- Restore supports point- in-time recovery for up to seven days and a recovery point objective (RPO) of one hour. It supports resilience against failure of a single region because the backup is stored in geo-redundant storage. Geo- Restore should not be used for mission-critical databases that are governed by a service level agreement (SLA) because a restore might take up to 24 hours depending on the number of databases being restored. You do not need to deploy a Standard Tier database. You would deploy a Standard Tier database if Standard Geo-Replication was required. At the Standard Tier, point-in-time recovery is supported for up to 14 days. Standard Geo-Replication has an RPO of five seconds. Standard Geo-Replication is a more expensive option and not required for this scenario. You do not need to deploy a Premium Tier database. A Premium Tier database supports Active Geo- Replication, which supports load balancing for read-only workloads and up to four secondary copies of the database. A Premium Tier database supports Standard Geo-Replication and Geo-Restore, but Premium Tier features are not required by this scenario and would be a more expensive option.
