Difficulty: HardCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

You plan to deploy a new virtual machine named `VM-DB-prod` in the East US region to host a database workload. The database requires storage capable of handling up to 80,00080,000 IOPS and 1,200 MB/s1,200\text{ MB/s} throughput. The deployment must meet the following requirements:
- Protect the database instance against datacenter-level failures in the region.
- Allow the addition of Ultra Disk managed disks to meet the performance targets.

Which configuration must you select during the virtual machine creation process to satisfy these requirements?

  1. Deploy the virtual machine in an Availability Zone and enable Ultra Disk compatibility.Answer
  2. B
    Deploy the virtual machine in an Availability Set and configure the OS disk to use Ultra Disk.
  3. C
    Deploy the virtual machine with no redundancy and change the replication of the OS disk to Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS).
  4. D
    Deploy the virtual machine in a resource group that has an inherited ReadOnly resource lock.

Answer

Deploy the virtual machine in an Availability Zone and enable Ultra Disk compatibility.
Deploying the virtual machine in an Availability Zone provides physical separation and protection against datacenter-level failures. Enabling Ultra Disk compatibility on the VM during creation is a mandatory step that allows the VM to support attaching Ultra Disk managed disks later.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Select a supported region and Availability Zone for the virtual machine during creation.
The VM is placed in a specific Availability Zone, satisfying the physical isolation and datacenter-level resiliency requirement since Availability Zones represent physically separate datacenters within a region.
Ultra Disks are zone-specific resources and require the virtual machine to be deployed in a supporting Availability Zone in that region.
2
Enable the Ultra Disk compatibility capability on the virtual machine configuration.
The virtual machine is provisioned with additional capabilities that allow Ultra Disk attachment.
Ultra Disks cannot be attached to a virtual machine unless the capability is explicitly enabled during the creation of the virtual machine.
3
Select a virtual machine size that supports Ultra Disks.
A supported series (e.g., Dsv5 or Esv5) is selected, ensuring compute and storage compatibility.
Not all virtual machine sizes support Ultra Disks.
