AZ-104 Azure - Configuring blobk object replication
Object replication asynchronously copies blocks of blobs between storage accounts
-
- Requires source and destination storage accounts
- Requires versioning and change feed
- Support cross-tenant replication
- Requires source and destination storage accounts
- Minimize latency - reduce latency for read requests.
- Increased efficiency - Processing block blob in different regions.
- Data distribution - Processing and analyzing data in one location that replicate to other regions.
- Cost Optimization -moving replicate data to the archive tier can reduce cost.
- Versioning: Versioning must be enabled on both the source and desalination accounts to perform replication
- Change feed: Change feed must be enabled on the source account. Azure storage monitors the $blobchangefeed to advise replication.
- Cross subscription and azure AD: Object replication is supported across subscriptions and azure AD tenants
- Replication Policy: A Storage account can be a source for up to two destination accounts. Each policy supports only a single pairing using a policy ID.
