A company needs to ensure that their cloud data and applications remain available even if an entire Azure region experiences an outage. They also want to minimize latency by hosting resources in multiple geographic locations. Which cloud concept addresses these requirements?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Scalability

Scalability is the ability to handle increased load, not protection against region-wide outages or latency optimization across regions.

B

Best answer

Geo-redundancy

Geo-redundancy replicates data across multiple geographic regions, providing disaster recovery and enabling users to access resources from a region closer to them for lower latency.

C

Distractor review

Measured service

Measured service relates to usage metering and billing, not availability or latency across regions.

D

Distractor review

Resource pooling

Resource pooling is about shared infrastructure across customers, not geographic resiliency.

Common exam trap

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.

Technical deep dive

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.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this MS-900 question test?

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Geo-redundancy — Geo-redundancy (or geo-replication) involves replicating data and applications across multiple geographic regions to ensure high availability and disaster recovery, as well as reducing latency by serving users from a nearby region. Scalability handles load, not region failure. Measured service is billing. Resource pooling is multi-tenancy.
