Question 1 of 30
A multinational corporation operates a critical application that relies on a Microsoft Azure SQL Database. To ensure high availability and disaster recovery, the company has implemented geo-replication and failover groups. During a routine maintenance window, the primary database in the East US region experiences a significant outage. The company needs to switch to the secondary database located in the West Europe region. What are the key considerations and steps the company must take to ensure a smooth failover process while minimizing data loss and downtime?
Ensure that the failover group is configured correctly, and initiate the failover process while monitoring the replication lag to assess potential data loss.
Immediately switch the application connection strings to point to the secondary database without checking the replication status.
Disable geo-replication before initiating the failover to prevent any conflicts during the switch.
Wait for the primary database to come back online before considering a failover to avoid unnecessary complications.
