Difficulty: MediumCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

You plan to deploy a new virtual machine named VM1 in the East US region. You need to configure the deployment to meet the following requirements:
- Protect VM1 against datacenter-wide failures.
- Secure the resource group hosting VM1 to prevent accidental deletion of the resource group and its resources.
- Configure daily backups for VM1.

Which of the following configurations should you select?

  1. Deploy VM1 in an Availability Zone, apply a CanNotDelete lock to the resource group, and back up VM1 to a Recovery Services Vault in the East US region.Answer
  2. B
    Deploy VM1 in an Availability Set, apply a CanNotDelete lock to the resource group, and back up VM1 to a Recovery Services Vault in the East US region.
  3. C
    Deploy VM1 in an Availability Zone, apply a CanNotDelete lock to the resource group, and back up VM1 to a Recovery Services Vault in the West US region.
  4. D
    Deploy VM1 in an Availability Zone, apply a CanNotDelete lock only to VM1 because locks on a resource group do not inherit to child resources, and back up VM1 to a Recovery Services Vault in the East US region.

Answer

Deploy the virtual machine in an Availability Zone, apply a CanNotDelete lock to the resource group, and back up the virtual machine using a Recovery Services Vault in the East US region.
The correct configuration deploys the virtual machine in an Availability Zone to protect against datacenter-wide failures, applies a CanNotDelete lock at the resource group level which inherits to all child resources to prevent accidental deletion, and uses a Recovery Services Vault in the same region (East US) as the virtual machine for backups.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Select the appropriate availability option to protect against datacenter-wide failures.
Deploys VM1 in an Availability Zone.
Availability Zones locate VM instances in physically unique datacenters within a region, providing protection against datacenter-wide outages, unlike Availability Sets which only protect against local hardware failures.
2
Apply a resource lock to secure the resource group and its resources.
Applies a CanNotDelete lock to the resource group hosting VM1.
A CanNotDelete lock placed at the resource group level prevents the deletion of the resource group itself and, through lock inheritance, prevents the deletion of all resources within the group, including VM1.
3
Configure backups using a Recovery Services Vault.
Creates a Recovery Services Vault in the East US region and configures a backup policy for VM1.
Azure requires that the Recovery Services Vault used to back up a virtual machine resides in the same geographic region as that virtual machine.
