Q36 Service Bus Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam

Which Service Bus feature enables a queue or topic to be replicated across two Azure regions for disaster recovery, with failover supported by metadata replication?

  1. A Geo-replication (Premium active-passive) (correct answer)
  2. B Active geo-replication
  3. C Zone redundancy
  4. D Cross-region queues

Shortcut: Geo-disaster recovery (alias pairing) replicates namespace metadata across paired namespaces. On failover, the alias is remapped to the secondary. Messages are NOT replicated — only the namespace entity configuration.
