Microsoft Exam AZ-801 Topic 5 Question 74 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AZ-801 exam

Question #: 74
Topic #: 5

You have two Azure Virtual machines that run Windows Server.

You plan to create a failover cluster that will host the virtual machines.

You need to configure an Azure Storage account that will be used by the cluster as a cloud witness. The solution must maximize resiliency.

Which type of redundancy should you configure for the storage account?

AGeo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS)

BGeo-redundant storage (GRS)

CZone-redundant storage (ZRS)

DLocally-redundant storage (LRS)

I'm just hoping the exam doesn't ask me to spell 'Geo-zone-redundant' correctly. That's the real test of knowledge right there!

Yep, GZRS is definitely the right choice here. If you're going to be a cloud witness, you might as well go all-out and become a celebrity witness with the most resilient storage available!

I'm not sure I understand the difference between all these storage redundancy options. Do I get extra points if I just pick the longest name? 'Geo-zone-redundant' sounds pretty fancy!

Hmm, Geo-redundant storage (GRS) is also a good option. It replicates data to a secondary region, which could provide the necessary resilience. However, GZRS seems like the better choice since it adds the extra layer of zone-level redundancy.

I'm not sure, but I think Geo-redundant storage (GRS) could also be a good option for resiliency.

I agree with Hermila, GZRS provides redundancy across multiple availability zones.

I think Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) is the way to go here. It provides the highest level of resiliency by replicating data across multiple zones within a region, as well as to a secondary region. This should meet the requirement of maximizing resiliency for the cloud witness.

Locally-redundant storage (LRS) might not provide enough resiliency for this scenario.

Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) could work too, as it replicates data across availability zones within a region.
