Question

A company undergoing digital transformation is reviewing the resiliency of a CSP and is concerned about meeting SLA requirements in the event of a CSP incident. Which of the following would be best to proceed with the transformation?

Options

  • AAn on-premises solution as a backup
  • BA load balancer with a round-robin configuration
  • CA multicloud provider solution

Why each option

To mitigate risks from a single CSP incident and ensure SLA requirements are met, a multicloud provider solution offers the best resiliency by distributing services across different cloud providers.

AAn on-premises solution as a backup

An on-premises solution as a backup might provide some resiliency, but it contradicts the goal of digital transformation to the cloud and would likely be more complex and costly to manage than a cloud-native resiliency strategy.

BA load balancer with a round-robin configuration

A load balancer with round-robin configuration distributes traffic across resources, but if those resources are all within the same CSP region or availability zone, it does not protect against a broad CSP incident.

CA multicloud provider solutionCorrect

A multicloud provider solution involves deploying services across two or more distinct cloud service providers. This strategy enhances resiliency by ensuring that if one CSP experiences a major incident or outage, the company's critical services can failover to or continue operating within another provider, thereby reducing dependency on a single vendor and improving overall availability and SLA adherence.

DAn active-active solution within the same tenant

An active-active solution within the same tenant (and implicitly, same CSP) improves fault tolerance within that provider's infrastructure but does not protect against a large-scale incident affecting the entire cloud provider.
