AI-102 Plan and manage an Azure AI solution Practice Question
You are planning to deploy an Azure AI solution that uses Azure Cognitive Services. You need to ensure that the solution can be deployed to multiple regions and that each region uses a separate endpoint. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that a single Cognitive Services account can serve multiple regions or that a feature like multi-region exists.
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
✓
Deploy multiple Cognitive Services accounts, one per region, and configure the application to use the appropriate endpoint.
To have separate endpoints per region, you must deploy a Cognitive Services account in each region. Each account provides a unique endpoint and key. This approach also allows for regional failover if needed. The application must be designed to select the correct endpoint based on the region.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy a single Cognitive Services account and enable the multi-region feature.
Why it's wrong here
Azure Cognitive Services does not have a multi-region feature that creates separate endpoints within a single account. A single account is bound to one region. Enabling such a feature is not possible, so this option does not meet the requirement for separate endpoints per region.
- ✗
Deploy a single Cognitive Services account and use the same endpoint for all regions.
Why it's wrong here
A single Cognitive Services account is tied to a specific region. Using the same endpoint for all regions would route all requests to that region, causing latency and potential compliance issues. The requirement is for each region to have a separate endpoint, which this approach does not provide.
- ✓
Deploy multiple Cognitive Services accounts, one per region, and configure the application to use the appropriate endpoint.
Why this is correct
Each Cognitive Services account is created in a specific region and provides a unique endpoint. By deploying one account per region, you ensure that each region has its own endpoint, enabling regional isolation and compliance. The application can select the endpoint based on the user's location or other logic.
- ✗
Deploy a single Cognitive Services account and use Azure Traffic Manager to route requests to different regions.
Why it's wrong here
Traffic Manager can route requests to different endpoints, but the Cognitive Services account itself is in one region. You would still need multiple accounts to have endpoints in different regions. Traffic Manager alone does not create regional endpoints for the service.
