Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

One of the benefits of Azure SQL Data Warehouse is that high availability is built into the platform. Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse, now part of Azure Synapse Analytics, offers a service-level agreement (SLA) of 99.9% for availability, which is a direct result of the high availability features implemented in the platform. Ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining data availability are essential features of cloud-based data warehouses and are critical for enterprises that rely on continuous data processing and analytics. Therefore, no change is needed.

High availability requires an SLA of > 99.9%, SLA for AZ Synaptics is 99,9% so B. automatic scaling

disagree to this as while the SLA for Azure Synapse Analytics includes an uptime guarantee that is part of its high availability capabilities, it is not the only factor that contributes to high availability. My answer is A.

"Redundant regional servers for high availability"

SAFMOption: A

I think the answer is No. This is because logically before going into the more expensive solution among the available two solutions (Availability zones and regions) one should first check the first logical solution. First, you check if you have availability zones in your region and you go for that solution because we are concerned about the single datacenter protection level. If you do not have availability zones in your region, you can opt for deploying into another region. But this choice cannot be picked up first, without checking alternatives. That is how I see it, otherwise, they would not have mentioned "single datacenter in the question text.
