Azure Cache for Redis Geo-Replication: Partial Configuration During Provisioning

This DP-300 practice question tests your understanding of plan and configure high availability and disaster recovery. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Exhibit

{
  "properties": {
    "availabilityZones": ["1", "2", "3"],
    "zoneRedundant": true,
    "replicas": [
      {
        "location": "East US",
        "capacity": 100,
        "status": "Provisioning"
      },
      {
        "location": "West US",

      }

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator configures an Azure Cache for Redis instance with zone redundancy and a replica in a different region. What is the current state of the geo-replication setup?

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

✓

The geo-replication is partially configured; the East US replica is still being provisioned.

One replica shows 'Provisioning' status, indicating it is still being set up. The geo-replication link is not yet fully established until both replicas are 'Ready'.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • ✗

    The zone redundancy is enabled but geo-replication is not configured.

    Why it's wrong here

    The 'replicas' array indicates geo-replication is configured, even if not fully ready.

  • ✓

    The geo-replication is partially configured; the East US replica is still being provisioned.

    Why this is correct

    The East US replica is in 'Provisioning' state, meaning it's not ready.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    The geo-replication failed because the SKU does not support it.

    Why it's wrong here

    Premium SKU supports geo-replication.

  • ✗

    The geo-replication is fully functional and ready for failover.

    Why it's wrong here

    One replica is still provisioning, so not fully functional.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

An e-commerce site experiences heavy traffic on Black Friday and near-zero traffic during off-peak weeks. Rather than provisioning permanent large VMs, the team uses auto-scaling groups that add capacity automatically under load and reduce it overnight. Questions like this test whether you understand elasticity, availability zones, and cloud compute scaling patterns.
