Matches

The address spaces overlap, so one range must be changed before peering can be created.

Create VNet peering; it provides private connectivity without a VPN gateway.

Enable gateway transit on the hub peering and use remote gateways on the spoke peering.

VNet peering is not transitive, so A must be connected to C directly or routed through an appliance.

Create a new non-overlapping address space and migrate workloads before removing the old range.

⚠ Common exam trap

A common trap is confusing high availability with autoscaling, or latency optimization with multi-region deployment. Autoscale adjusts capacity, not redundancy. Performance routing optimizes latency, while multi-region with Traffic Manager provides failover.

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

✓

High availability across regions: Use multiple regions with Traffic Manager

Ly matches high availability across regions with deploying to multiple Azure regions and using Traffic Manager, which provides geo-redundancy and failover. Option B correctly matches latency-sensitive applications with performance routing, which directs traffic to the closest endpoint to minimize latency. Option C correctly matches data residency requirements with Azure Policy, which can enforce region restrictions. Option D is incorrect because autoscale handles scaling based on demand, not high availability across regions. Option E is incorrect because deploying to multiple regions with Traffic Manager is for high availability, not for reducing latency.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
High availability across regions: Use multiple regions with Traffic Manager
Why this is correct
Traffic Manager directs traffic to multiple regions for high availability.
✓
Latency-sensitive apps: Use performance routing
Why this is correct
Performance routing directs users to the closest region for low latency.
✓
Data residency: Enforce via Azure Policy
Why this is correct
Azure Policy can enforce data residency requirements.
✗
High availability across regions: Use autoscale
Why it's wrong here
Autoscale adjusts capacity based on demand, not for cross-region availability.
✗
Latency-sensitive apps: Use multiple regions with Traffic Manager
Why it's wrong here
Traffic Manager can provide HA but not optimized for latency; performance routing is better.
