Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When creating a Recovery Services vault, specifying a unique name and selecting the appropriate region (East US in this scenario) is a fundamental requirement. Storage redundancy and Soft Delete configurations are important considerations but do not constitute mandatory steps for the vault creation process.
- A. Correct.
You must specify a uniquely named vault and choose the region (East US in this case) during creation. This ensures the vault is properly assigned to protect resources in that region.
- B. Incorrect.
While you can choose between Locally Redundant and Geo-Redundant storage, selecting LRS exclusively is not a mandatory requirement for creating the vault.
- C. Incorrect.
ZRS is not a default or required setting for the vault’s redundancy. You can choose Geo-Redundant or Locally Redundant storage based on your backup strategy.
- D. Incorrect.
Soft Delete is recommended for security and recovery purposes, but it is not a mandatory step during vault creation.
