IBM C1000-172 Exam - Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for IBM's C1000-172 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 1

[All C1000-172 Questions]

What is a benefit of using an IBM Cloud multizone region (MZR) for deploying applications?

AReduced resiliency and availability

BDecreased availability compared to a single zone region

CProtection against single zone failure

DLower interconnectivity speed between data centers

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

An IBM Cloud Multizone Region (MZR) offers a deployment architecture that spans multiple, physically separated availability zones within the same region. This configuration provides protection against a single zone failure, as applications and services can continue to operate if one zone experiences an outage.

Why MZR Provides Protection Against Single Zone Failure: Deploying applications in an MZR ensures that resources are distributed across multiple zones, each with its own independent infrastructure (power, cooling, networking). If a failure occurs in one zone, the other zones remain unaffected, thus maintaining the availability of the application.

Comparison with Other Options:

A (Reduced resiliency and availability): Incorrect; MZR increases resiliency and availability.

B (Decreased availability compared to a single zone): Incorrect; MZR offers greater availability than a single zone.

D (Lower interconnectivity speed): Incorrect; MZR is designed to provide high-speed interconnectivity between zones.

B is just wrong, MZR is supposed to improve availability!

I’m a bit confused; I thought multizone regions were meant to improve connectivity, not lower it. So, D doesn’t sound right to me.

I vaguely recall a practice question about MZRs, and I think it mentioned something about protecting against failures. So, C seems likely.

I'm not completely sure, but I feel like we discussed how MZRs help with resiliency. Could that be related to option C as well?

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know Kubernetes uses some kind of configuration files, but I can't remember if it's YAML or JSON. I'll have to think this through carefully.
