Geoproximity
B.
Geodiversity
C.
Geography
D.
Localization
Explanation:
Azure allows specification of geographical regions or affinity groups. Geographical regions are related to the
data centers, like North Central US, South Central US, Anywhere US, East Asia, North Europe, and so on. The
list of options will grow as more data centers are added.
Instead of selecting a region, it is possible to specify an affinity group. Affinity groups are hints to Azure that
essentially state that everything within the group should be as close in proximity as Azure will allow. That usually
means keeping items within the same data center, which besides having the benefit of geo-location, can
sometimes offer performance improvements for communication.
