CV0-004 Practice Question: Which TWO factors should be considered when…
Which TWO factors should be considered when selecting a cloud region for deploying a latency-sensitive application serving a global user base?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often mistakenly select cost (A) or compliance (D) as primary factors affecting latency, failing to recognize that physical proximity (C) and multi-zone deployment (B) are critical for global latency-sensitive applications.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Number of availability zones
The number of availability zones within a region directly impacts the resilience and fault tolerance of a latency-sensitive application. Deploying across multiple availability zones allows for high availability and failover without adding significant latency, as zones are typically within a few milliseconds of each other. This ensures the application remains responsive even if one zone fails, which is critical for a global user base.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cost of compute and storage
Why it's wrong here
Secondary to latency.
- ✓
Number of availability zones
Why this is correct
Allows high availability and low latency via local replication.
- ✓
Proximity to the majority of users
Why this is correct
Reduces network latency.
- ✗
Data sovereignty and compliance requirements
Why it's wrong here
Important but not directly for latency.
- ✗
Available network bandwidth between zones
Why it's wrong here
Internal bandwidth is typically high.
