IBM Exam C1000-172 Topic 1 Question 22 Discussion

Having multiple sites within the same region in IBM Cloud provides better protection against natural disasters.

Multiple Sites for Resiliency: In cloud architecture, resiliency is enhanced by distributing workloads and data across multiple sites or availability zones within the same region. If a natural disaster affects one site, the other sites can continue operations without significant downtime or data loss.

IBM Cloud Regions and Availability Zones: IBM Cloud has multiple availability zones within the same region, providing redundancy and failover options to protect against regional disruptions, such as natural disasters.

Reference from IBM Cloud Professional Architect Materials:

IBM documentation on IBM Cloud Regions and Availability Zones mentions the design for high availability and disaster recovery by using multiple sites or availability zones within a region.

Other options are incorrect:

A . Higher level of data encryption is unrelated to multiple sites.

B . Improved network connectivity between sites is a benefit, but not the primary advantage for resiliency against natural disasters.

C . Enhanced scalability and performance is more relevant to resource allocation and management.
