You are planning the Azure network infrastructure to support the disaster recovery requirements.
What is the minimum number of virtual networks required for the SAP deployed?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Scenario: Ensure that all the production databases can withstand the failure of an Azure region.
Note: Use Azure Site Recovery to replicate applications across regions. Azure Site Recovery replicates workloads running on physical and virtual machines from a primary site (either on-premises or in Azure) to a secondary location (in Azure). When an outage occurs at the customer's primary site, a failover can be triggered to quickly return the customer to an operational state. After the primary location is restored, customers can then fail back.
