API Management multi-region deployment
Dunstan Retail wants API consumers in Europe, North America, and Asia to call nearby API gateways, while administrators manage one API Management instance with a single configuration. Which API Management tier should you recommend?
- A.Standard v2
- B.Premium (classic) with additional gateway regions
- C.Premium v2
- D.Consumption
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Premium (classic) with additional gateway regions
Why: Multi-region deployment, where one API Management instance runs managed gateways in several Azure regions, is supported in the classic Premium tier. Premium v2, Standard v2, and Consumption do not support multi-region deployment, so they would require separate instances in each region. Multi-region gateways also improve availability when one region has an outage.
