To replicate a NAS volume from an on-premises AFF (All-Flash FAS) cluster toAzure NetApp Files, the customer should useNetApp BlueXP Replication. This replication technology facilitates data synchronization and replication between ONTAP systems and Azure NetApp Files, making it ideal for hybrid cloud data mobility.

NetApp BlueXP copy and sync (A)is for file migration,BlueXP tiering (B)is for storage optimization, andAzure Site Recovery (D)is focused on VM disaster recovery, not NAS volume replication.

In a Multi-AZ (Availability Zone) setup for NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP in AWS, ensuring nondisruptive failover between nodes is critical for high availability. "Floating IPs" are required for seamless failover between nodes in such a configuration.

Floating IPs allow the primary node to automatically transfer its IP address to the secondary node during a failover event, ensuring that clients can continue to access the service without needing to reconfigure anything. This mechanism enables clients to access the same IP regardless of which node in the cluster is actively serving requests, thus maintaining nondisruptive operations.

Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) facilitate networking in AWS but do not inherently handle IP floating between nodes for failover. Security groups and Intercluster UFs manage security and inter-node communication, respectively, but do not address the failover requirements. Floating IPs are explicitly designed to enable failover in high-availability cloud storage environments like NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

Thus, "floating IPs" are the required network construct that allows for nondisruptive failover between nodes in a multi-AZ setup, ensuring continuous service availability even in the event of an outage in one availability zone.

In this scenario, the life sciences customer is looking to deploy Azure VMware Solution (AVS) while leveraging Azure NetApp Files for high performance and proximity to their applications in the EAST US region. The two critical components to consider in this design are:

Ensuring that the Azure VMware Solution and Azure NetApp Files volumes are in the same Availability Zone (A): This is crucial to reduce latency and ensure optimal performance for high-performance workloads. Placing both AVS and Azure NetApp Files in the same zone ensures that data access is faster and more efficient due to reduced network hops and minimal latency.

Choosing the Azure UltraPerformance Gateway and enabling Azure ExpressRoute FastPath (C): To further optimize performance and provide dedicated, low-latency connectivity between AVS and Azure NetApp Files, using ExpressRoute with FastPath and the UltraPerformance Gateway ensures high bandwidth and lower network latencies. FastPath enables direct traffic flow between the on-premises network and the virtual network hosting AVS, bypassing the need for extra routing hops, thus improving performance.

Using dark sites (B) or public IP addresses (D) is not relevant in this case, as they do not contribute to performance optimization or the integration of Azure NetApp Files and AVS in the same region.
