Q20 Key Vault Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam

How should multi-region Key Vault deployments be architected for high availability?

  1. A One vault, geo-replication enabled
  2. B One primary vault per region (Key Vault replicates within a region's paired region automatically) (correct answer)
  3. C Manual replication between vaults
  4. D Azure Front Door in front of one vault

Shortcut: Key Vault automatically replicates within its region's pair. For multi-region HA, deploy separate vaults per region. Apps should have fallback logic to try the secondary region's vault if the primary is unavailable.
