Question
You need to create an Azure Storage account.
Data in the account must replicate outside the Azure region automatically.
Which two types of replication can you use for the storage account? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
- A. zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
- B. read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) Correct
- C. locally-redundant storage (LRS)
- D. geo-redundant storage (GRS) Correct
Explanation
GRS and RA-GRS both copy data asynchronously to a secondary region paired with the primary, so the data automatically leaves the primary region; RA-GRS additionally allows read access to the secondary copy. LRS keeps three copies within a single datacenter, and ZRS spreads copies across availability zones in the same region, so neither replicates outside the region.
