Geo-Replication — Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) Practice Questions
Geo-replication is the process of automatically replicating data to secondary Azure regions to support disaster recovery, read scale-out, and data residency requirements. On AZ-305, geo-replication is primarily tested in the context of Azure SQL Database active geo-replication and Azure Cosmos DB multi-region writes. Architects must understand replication lag, read replica routing, and how geo-replication integrates with failover groups to form a complete business continuity strategy.
