A new workload has no residency or reserved capacity needs. Which deployment type does Microsoft suggest starting with?
Why D is the answer
Global Standard
Microsoft says to start with Global Standard, because it launches first, costs least and has the broadest coverage.
In detail
- Global Standard is the suggested starting point when there are no residency or reserved capacity needs.
- Choose Data Zone or Provisioned only when a requirement calls for it.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A new product has no special requirements, so the team starts on Global Standard and revisits it if needs change.
