AZ-104 Question 157
Single answerYour company wants to reduce latency by replicating container images to multiple Azure regions. You are tasked with configuring a single Azure Container Registry to handle this requirement, minimizing manual processes. Which feature of Azure Container Registry should you enable?
- A
Use the Basic SKU container registry, as it automatically replicates images to all Azure regions
- B
Enable georeplication in the container registry
- C
Add an ACR Task in each region with scheduled triggers to pull images proactively
- D
Create separate container registries in each region and push images manually
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Georeplication allows a single Azure Container Registry instance to span multiple Azure regions. By enabling georeplication, you significantly reduce latency by serving image pulls from the most optimal regional replica without needing separate registries or complex scripting.
- A. Incorrect.
Basic SKU does not automatically replicate images across all regions; replication features are available in higher SKUs (Standard or Premium).
- B. Correct.
Georeplication enables you to replicate images in multiple Azure regions using a single registry, allowing regional pulls with reduced latency.
- C. Incorrect.
Using separate ACR Tasks per region would be time-consuming and require ongoing maintenance to keep them in sync.
- D. Incorrect.
Creating separate registries in each region introduces manual overhead of pushing images multiple times and tracking image versions.
