Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Multi-AZ deployment with synchronous replication
Options C, D, and E are correct. A Multi-AZ deployment with synchronous replication (C) provides high availability by replicating data across Availability Zones. A cluster manager like Pacemaker (D) automates failover and manages the cluster. An Elastic IP address (E) provides a static IP that can be remapped to the standby host during failover, ensuring connectivity. Option A (Application Load Balancer) is not required for SAP HANA database HA; it's used for web traffic. Option B (Single AZ) does not provide high availability.
