Difficulty: MediumCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

An administrator plans to deploy a new Azure virtual machine named VM1 in the West US 3 region. VM1 will host a database workload that requires high-performance storage using Ultra Disk managed disks.

Which two configurations should the administrator perform during the deployment of VM1 to support the use of Ultra Disks? (Select two.)

  1. Select a virtual machine size that supports Ultra Disk compatibility.Answer
  2. Enable Ultra Disk compatibility in the disk configuration settings.Answer
  3. C
    Deploy VM1 within an Availability Set.
  4. D
    Associate VM1 with a Basic Load Balancer backend pool.

Answer

To support Ultra Disks on the virtual machine, the administrator must select a supported virtual machine size and enable Ultra Disk compatibility in the disk configuration settings.
The correct options are selecting a virtual machine size that supports Ultra Disk compatibility and enabling Ultra Disk compatibility in the disk settings. Ultra Disks have specific hardware requirements and must be enabled at the VM level to allow data disks of this type to be attached.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Select a compatible virtual machine size during deployment.
Ensures that the compute resource supports the high-performance capabilities of Ultra Disks.
Ultra Disks are only compatible with specific virtual machine series and sizes.
2
Enable Ultra Disk compatibility on the virtual machine's settings.
Allows Ultra Disks to be selected and attached as data disks to the virtual machine.
This compatibility setting must be explicitly turned on during provisioning to make the option available.
