Makes sense to go with C here. Load balancers and health probes are designed to distribute traffic and detect failures across multiple zones, which fits the multi-AZ high availability requirement best. Active/active HA (D) sounds good but might be tricky across different zones without shared state or sync. So, C is safer and more aligned with CSP practices.

It’s C because load balancers handle traffic routing across zones, enabling failover.

C/D for sure, but C is essential to route traffic properly across AZs.

C/D? Load balancers are key for cross-AZ failover, so probably C combined with D.

It’s D since active/active HA is designed for multi-AZ setups, but does this depend on the specific cloud provider or Palo Alto version? Wondering if any extra steps are needed to sync configs across zones or if the load balancer from option C plays a role here too.
