A project manager is deploying a new service that needs to be highly available and resilient to regional outages. The solution involves hosting the service across multiple geographically separate data centers within the same cloud provider. Which cloud deployment strategy is being utilized?
- AOn-Premise Deployment
- BMulti-Region Deployment
- CHybrid Cloud Deployment
- DSingle Availability Zone Deployment
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Multi-Region Deployment
Deploying a service across multiple geographically separate data centers (regions) ensures resilience against widespread regional outages, which is the definition of a multi-region deployment.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. On-Premise Deployment refers to hosting resources within an organization's own data center, which doesn't address cloud-specific resilience strategies.
- C. Hybrid Cloud Deployment combines on-premise infrastructure with public cloud, not necessarily across multiple cloud regions for resilience.
- D. Single Availability Zone Deployment offers redundancy within a single data center, but not against a full regional outage.
Multi-Region Cloud Deployment
A multi-region cloud deployment strategy involves deploying an application or service across multiple geographically distinct cloud regions to achieve high availability, disaster recovery, and reduced latency.
- Protects against widespread regional outages.
- Increases fault tolerance and business continuity.
- Often involves complex data synchronization and traffic routing.
Memory trick: Regions for Resilience: Spread out to survive anything.
