AI-200 Security And Observability Practice Question
Your Azure AI application encounters transient network errors when calling cognitive services. Which TWO strategies should you implement in your code or architecture to handle these failures gracefully? (Choose two)
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
✓
Implement fallback routing or secondary region endpoints for high availability.
Implementing retry logic with exponential backoff in SDK clients and configuring circuit breaker patterns or fallback endpoints helps handle transient failures.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable all exception handling so unhandled errors crash the server.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Crashing the server prevents graceful recovery.
- ✓
Implement fallback routing or secondary region endpoints for high availability.
Why this is correct
Correct. Multi-region failover ensures high availability during regional outages.
- ✗
Terminate the application process immediately on the first transient timeout.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Terminating on transient errors reduces application resilience.
- ✓
Configure SDK retry policies with exponential backoff and jitter for HTTP 429 and 503 errors.
Why this is correct
Correct. SDK retry policies handle transient service unavailability automatically.
- ✗
Remove all timeout configurations from HTTP client connections.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Removing timeouts can cause client threads to hang indefinitely.
