DP-300 Certification Practice Question #203

Question

You plan to deploy three instances of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines that will each contain 20 databases.

You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:

•	Ensures that the deployment is highly available
•	Minimizes administrative effort to manage users, logins, permissions, and SQL Server Agent jobs across the instances

What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

To minimize the administrative effort of managing logins, permissions, users, and SQL Server Agent jobs across replicas in an availability group, a Contained Availability Group should be recommended. Contained Availability Groups contain their own replicated `master` and `msdb` system databases, ensuring that all instance-level and job-level metadata are automatically synchronized and fail over with the availability group. Because this feature was introduced in SQL Server 2022, the minimum SQL Server version required is 2022.
