A project manager is overseeing the deployment of a new customer support portal in a public cloud environment. The portal must be resilient to regional outages and maintain high availability globally. To achieve this, the solution design includes deploying instances of the portal across multiple geographically separated data centers within the cloud provider's infrastructure. This strategy is known as:
- ASingle Region Deployment
- BMulti-Region Deployment
- CMulti-Factor Authentication
- DDisaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Multi-Region Deployment
Multi-Region Deployment involves deploying applications across multiple, geographically separated cloud regions to enhance resilience against widespread outages and provide high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Single region deployment would not provide resilience against regional outages.
- C. Multi-factor authentication is a security measure for user login, unrelated to infrastructure resilience.
- D. DRaaS is a service offering for disaster recovery, but the strategy described (deploying instances across multiple regions) is the implementation of multi-region deployment, which often enables DRaaS.
Multi-Region Deployment
A cloud deployment strategy where application instances and data are distributed across multiple, geographically distinct cloud regions to enhance fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and global availability.
- Protects against widespread regional outages.
- Improves latency for global users.
- More complex and costly than single-region deployments.
Memory trick: Resilience: Don't put all your cloud eggs in one basket, spread them across the globe.
