Your Azure storage account is always replicated to ensure durability and high availability. By default, which of the following replications schemes is used?
Answers
Answer:
Geo Redundant Storage (GRS)
Explanation:
In Windows Azure storage , Geo Redundant Storage (GRS) is the default option for redundancy.
Transactions are replicated to 3 nodes within the primary region selected for creating the storage account. This replication is done synchronously.
The transaction is also lined up for asynchronous replication to another secondary region.
This is done to make data durable by replicating it to 3 more storage nodes there.
Geo Redundant Storage (GRS) is enabled when storage account is created.
Explanation:
To ensure durability and high availability the Azure storage account is always replicated. This is done to meet the Service-Level Agreement of the storage account. The reason it copies the data is to protect it from an unfavorable event like network failure, power failure hardware failure, natural disaster etc. all these events may lead to loss of information but, with the replication of data , it is protected.
