Correct - Instead, use CDN - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/best-practices/cdn

CDN might be best practice but the question is if it meets the goal. I think it does.

Azure Cache for Redis is Distributed, in-memory, scalable solution providing super-fast data access. I think it is more suitable for database query results or session data caching and not content like video/images which you just fetch from azure storage and display.

Hmm, Azure Cache for Redis 6.0 includes Redis streams now... I agree that CDN is correct because u have to ask your self who is writing these questions and why. I'm sure that Redis is the solution that meets the goal, but the problem is, is it a solution form Microsoft exam question writer :)

Further supporting the use of a CDN (Content Distributed Network), per Microsoft docs URL https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/best-practices/cdn#how-and-why-a-cdn-is-used "Streaming video files to the client on demand. Video benefits from the low latency and reliable connectivity available from the globally located datacenters that offer CDN connections. Microsoft Azure Media Services (AMS) integrates with Azure CDN to deliver content directly to the CDN for further distribution."

This is an open question : I am agree about the use of Azure CDN about the videos management. But the requirement is : "You need to ensure that the application is highly available". There's nothing about cost etc, so why couldn't both Redis cache & CDN be included in the design ? CDN for videos management and Redis for other stuff. In any case, I will chose B(No) but I was curious to have advice.

While Redis Cache can improve the performance and scalability of your web application, it may not directly address all the requirements of ensuring high availability and delivering a constant streaming experience to users. However, Redis Cache can be a valuable component within the overall architecture.

Selected Answer: B
To store data in the geographic location nearest to the user, you can use Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to cache and deliver the video content. Azure CDN uses a network of edge servers that are distributed globally to cache and deliver content from the location nearest to the user.

B. No Using Azure Redis Cache alone would not provide the level of high availability and constant streaming experience that you are looking for. Redis Cache is a in-memory data store that can improve the performance of web applications by caching data that is frequently accessed. However, it does not provide geographic replication or automatic failover to ensure high availability.

Redis Cache has geographic replication: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-how-to-active-geo-replication I think the key is that Redis is intended for database data, not for video streaming (too much data for in memory cache)

This is correct as it is stated clearly on the "how and why" section here: - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/best-practices/cdn Streaming video files to the client on demand. Video benefits from the low latency and reliable connectivity available from the globally located datacenters that offer CDN connections.
