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 primary resource in East US and a secondary resource in the paired region (West US), then implement client-side failover logic.
Why this is correct
Active-passive or active-active multi-region deployments with client-side retries or Azure Traffic Manager provide reliable business continuity.
- ✗
Configure an Azure Backup vault to snapshot the AI model weights daily.
Why it's wrong here
Azure Backup vaults do not snapshot managed SaaS AI service models or endpoints.
- ✗
Store all translation requests in Azure Blob Storage and replay them when the region recovers.
Why it's wrong here
Replaying logs later does not provide real-time disaster recovery for active user-facing applications.
- ✗
Rely on Azure's native synchronous cross-region database replication for cognitive services.
Why it's wrong here
Cognitive Services do not support transparent synchronous cross-region compute failover without secondary resource provisioning.
