You have an Azure SQL database named Sales.

You need to implement disaster recovery for Sales to meet the following requirements:

During normal operations, provide at least two readable copies of Sales.

Ensure that Sales remains available if a datacenter fails.

Solution: You deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the General Purpose service tier and failover groups.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Instead deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the Business Critical service tier and Availability Zones.

Note: Premium and Business Critical service tiers leverage the Premium availability model, which integrates compute resources (sqlservr.exe process) and storage (locally attached SSD) on a single node. High availability is achieved by replicating both compute and storage to additional nodes creating a three to four-node cluster.

By default, the cluster of nodes for the premium availability model is created in the same datacenter. With the introduction of Azure Availability Zones, SQL Database can place different replicas of the Business Critical database to different availability zones in the same region. To eliminate a single point of failure, the control ring is also duplicated across multiple zones as three gateway rings (GW).

Failover groups are a solid choice for high availability!

I think it might not be enough for full disaster recovery.

Wait, can it really handle a datacenter failure?

Not sure about the General Purpose tier for failover.

I think this setup could work, but I vaguely recall that there might be limitations with the General Purpose tier regarding disaster recovery options.

I believe failover groups can provide the necessary redundancy, but I’m a bit uncertain if the General Purpose tier can handle the load during a datacenter failure.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to ensure readable secondaries. I feel like this solution might not fully meet that requirement.

I think using failover groups is a good approach for high availability, but I'm not sure if the General Purpose tier supports all the features we need.
