Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
A company plans to deploy a critical application on Azure and needs to ensure that the application remains available even if a datacenter within the region fails. They are considering using availability zones. Which of the following best describes how availability zones can help achieve this requirement?
Availability zones are multiple regions paired together to provide disaster recovery in case of a region-wide outage.
Availability zones are unique physical locations within a region, each with independent power, cooling, and networking, allowing replication of applications across zones for high availability.
Availability zones are logical groupings of resources within a datacenter to improve application performance.
Availability zones are used to distribute application traffic based on users' geographic locations.
Availability zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region, each with independent power, cooling, and networking. By deploying resources across multiple availability zones, the company can protect its application from datacenter failures within the region, ensuring high availability.
The other options are incorrect because availability zones are not about pairing regions for disaster recovery—that describes region pairs. They are not logical groupings within a datacenter, nor are they used to distribute traffic based on geographic location—that would involve services like Azure Traffic Manager or Azure Front Door.
