A customer has two data centers and requires a single PVWA url.
Which deployment provides the fastest time to reach the PVWA and the most redundancy?

Deploying two PVWAs behind a global traffic manager offers both high availability and redundancy. A global traffic manager can direct traffic to the server that is closest or least utilized, ensuring the fastest response time and improving redundancy by automatically rerouting traffic if one server becomes unavailable. This setup balances load and provides fault detection, ensuring reliable and consistent access to the PVWA.
No direct reference on what the exact answer should be however based on the description of each, the best option to achieve the specified objectives would be A. https://docs.cyberark.com/PAS/13.0/en/Content/PAS%20INST/PVWA-install-multiple-PVWA-env.htm https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/glossary/round-robin-dns/ https://techdocs.akamai.com/gtm/docs/welcome-to-global-traffic-management
Taking both respond time and redundancy in mind, the answer more logical to me is A. Cause: A. Deploy two PVWAs behind a global traffic manager. - GTM can serve both as a DNS and load balancer, resolving DNS query than provide the best route to the least utilities server. B. Deploy one PVWA only. - No redundancy. C. Deploy two PVWAs in an active/standby mode. - Don't meet the fastest respond time since only one PVWA is in used. D. Deploy two PVWAs using DNS round robin. - It might be able to respond in time and have multiple servers in place. However, there is no fault detection if one of the servers die. Therefore, traffic will still be send to the dead server which result in access denies. So I will say redundancy is not really there.
