Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer AssociatePlan and manage an Azure AI solutionHard
A global e-commerce company is developing an Azure AI solution to provide personalized product recommendations. The solution uses Azure Cognitive Services for content analysis and Azure Machine Learning for model training and serving. The company operates in multiple geographical regions and requires the solution to be highly available and resilient to regional outages. Which Azure deployment strategy should you recommend to ensure continuous operation and low latency for users worldwide?
- ADeploy Azure AI services in one region and Azure Machine Learning in another, linking them via VNet peering.
- BDeploy Azure AI services and Machine Learning resources across multiple Azure regions with Azure Front Door.
- CDeploy all resources on Azure Stack Hub in each regional data center.
- DDeploy all Azure AI services and Machine Learning resources in a single, primary Azure region.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Deploy Azure AI services and Machine Learning resources across multiple Azure regions with Azure Front Door.
Deploying resources across multiple Azure regions with Azure Front Door ensures global high availability, resilience to regional outages, and low latency by routing user requests to the nearest healthy backend. This strategy is crucial for global applications.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. While separating services into different regions might offer some distribution, it doesn't inherently provide global load balancing, failover, or optimal latency routing without a global service like Azure Front Door.
- C. Azure Stack Hub is for hybrid cloud scenarios and on-premises deployments, not typically for achieving global high availability and low latency for a cloud-native solution across multiple Azure regions.
- D. A single region deployment creates a single point of failure and will not provide resilience to regional outages or low latency for global users.
Global Distribution with Azure Front Door
Azure Front Door is a global, scalable entry-point that uses the Microsoft global edge network to create fast, secure, and widely scalable web applications.
- Provides global load balancing and site acceleration.
- Enables multi-region high availability and disaster recovery.
- Optimizes routing to the nearest healthy backend for low latency.
Memory trick: Front Door opens to global resilience, everywhere.
