AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - GZRS and RA-GZRS

The video tutorial discusses two storage options: Geozone Redundant Storage (GPRS) and Read Access Geozone Redundant Storage (RA GPRS). Both are in preview and offer high availability and durability by replicating data across multiple zones and regions. GPRS ensures data is available even if a zone is down, while RA GPRS allows read access to data in a secondary region during a disaster. Microsoft recommends these for applications needing consistency and resilience. The tutorial also emphasizes comparing replication strategies to choose the best fit for specific scenarios.

What is the primary benefit of using Geo-Zone Redundant Storage (GZRS)?

• Lower storage costs

• Protection from regional outages

• Increased data processing speed

• Enhanced data encryption

How does GZRS ensure data durability?

• By compressing data to save space

• By using advanced encryption techniques

• By replicating data across multiple availability zones and a secondary region

• By storing data in a single data center

Why would an application enable Read Access Geo-Zone Redundant Storage (RA-GZRS)?

• To allow data reading from the secondary region during a primary region disaster

• To reduce latency in data processing

• To improve data encryption

• To decrease storage costs

What does Microsoft recommend GZRS for?

• Applications requiring high consistency, durability, and performance

• Applications with minimal data storage requirements

• Applications that do not require disaster recovery

• Applications with low data security needs

What is the focus of the next lesson mentioned in the transcript?

• Data encryption techniques

• Scope of durability and availability for replication strategies

• Cost analysis of different storage options

• Advanced data processing methods
