Question

Your company deploys workloads across two paired Azure regions for disaster recovery. During a discussion about platform maintenance, a colleague asks how Azure handles system updates for region pairs to minimize downtime risk. Which statement correctly describes a benefit of Azure region pairs regarding planned platform updates?

Accepted Answer

Planned Azure system updates are rolled out to only one region in the pair at a time to reduce the risk of both regions being affected simultaneously.

Answer

Both regions in a pair receive platform updates at the same time so that they stay perfectly synchronized.

Answer

Region pairs eliminate the need for you to configure any data replication between the two regions.

Answer

Region pairs guarantee that the two regions are located within the same city for the lowest possible latency.
