Drag and drop the steps to configure geo-replication for an Azure SQL Database in the correct order.
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
✓
Create secondary server in another region, then configure the secondary database, then initiate replication, then verify the replication link.
Geo-replication requires a secondary server in another region, then configuring the secondary database, initiating replication, and verifying the link. Failover is a separate step.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create secondary server in another region, then configure the secondary database, then initiate replication, then verify the replication link.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first have a secondary server to host the replica, then configure a database on that server, then start replicating data, and finally confirm the link is active.
- ✗
Create secondary server in another region, then initiate replication, then configure the secondary database, then verify the replication link.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot initiate replication until the secondary database is configured and ready to receive data.
- ✗
Initiate replication, then create secondary server in another region, then configure the secondary database, then verify the replication link.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because replication cannot be initiated without the secondary server and database already in place.
- ✗
Create secondary server in another region, then configure the secondary database, then verify the replication link, then initiate replication.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification of the replication link can only happen after replication has been started, not before.
