I don’t recall retention settings being relevant for this scenario. It feels like they wouldn’t help with connection issues during an outage.

I’m a bit confused about whether creating a new server is necessary. I thought failover groups would handle the regional outages better.

I remember practicing with failover groups in a similar question; it seems like a solid choice for ensuring connections without changing strings.

I think configuring geo-replication could help with failover, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best option for seamless connection.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. Based on my understanding of Design Thinking, option B is probably the best approach. We shouldn't be too prescriptive with the interview guide and should let the team structure it themselves. That's more in line with the principles of the methodology.

I'm not really sure, but I feel like it might be A? It sounds familiar, like one of the practice questions we went over.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to read through them slowly and make sure I'm interpreting them accurately before selecting my answer.

Okay, let's see. We need to link the Rating entity to the Contact and Address information. I think creating the 1:N relationships between the entities is the way to go.
