About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Map real-world scenarios to the right concepts: regions vs availability zones vs edge locations, and when each matters for resilience and performance.

You’ll also sharpen decision-making around latency, data residency, failover design, and where to place compute, storage, and content delivery.

Quiz format & difficulty balance

Every question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can reason through trade-offs instead of rushing.

Choose how many questions you want to answer and set the difficulty to match your level; the overall set is mixed to balance quick wins with deeper architecture checks.

Common pitfalls to avoid

- Confusing a region with an availability zone (and assuming one equals multi-site redundancy) - Assuming “multi-zone” automatically means “multi-region” disaster recovery - Treating edge locations as general-purpose compute zones rather than proximity points for delivery/acceleration - Overlooking data residency and cross-region data transfer implications - Mixing up high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery objectives n## Tips to score higher

Read for keywords like “latency,” “residency,” “blast radius,” and “failover,” then pick the option that matches the constraint in the prompt.

If you miss a question, revisit the definition and the why: most mistakes come from subtle wording about scope (zone vs region) or intent (performance vs resiliency).
