What are the two options for replicating data within the primary region in Azure Storage?
Azure Storage offers two options for how your data is replicated in the primary region, locally redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS).
Azure HDInsight
Azure HDInsight is an enterprise-ready, managed cluster service for open-source analytics.
You can run popular open-source frameworks—including Apache Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Kafka, and more—using Azure HDInsight
move a VM from one region to another
For VMs, replica VMs are created in the target region. The source VM is shut down, and some downtime occurs (usually minutes)
Azure Databricks
Azure Databricks is a premium Spark offering that is ideal for customers who want their data scientists to collaborate easily and run their Spark based workloads efficiently and at industry leading performance.
It is essentially an Apache Spark-based analytics platform optimized for the Microsoft Azure cloud services platform.
Azure Network Watcher
Azure Network Watcher is a monitoring and diagnostic service that provides tools to diagnose network issues in Azure. It includes a VPN diagnostics tool that can be used to diagnose connectivity issues with VPN gateways, including Site-to-Site VPN (IPsec) gateways. The tool can help identify configuration issues, routing issues, and other common problems that can cause connectivity issues.
Azure Traffic Manager
This is a global DNS load balancer that can be used to distribute incoming traffic across multiple Azure regions. It is not designed for diagnosing network connectivity issues.
Azure Application Gateway
This is a web traffic load balancer that can be used to manage and route HTTP and HTTPS traffic. It is not designed for diagnosing network connectivity issues.
Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that operates at OSI layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS)
cost of network traffic in Azure
The cost of network traffic in Azure is affected by geography
Azure region
A region is a set of datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network. Each Azure region has a minimum of three availability zones.
default spending limit for the Azure Free account
A credit of $200 is assigned to the Free account and is valid for 30 days from the date of activation.
valid types of storage tiers for Azure Blob Storage
- Hot Storage- Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
- Cool Storage- Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
- Archive Storage- Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).
