An administrator is planning the deployment of a new Azure virtual machine named VM-Prod1 in the West US 3 region. The deployment must meet the following requirements:
- Ensure the virtual machine is protected against datacenter-wide outages within the region.
- Back up VM-Prod1 to an existing Recovery Services vault named Vault1, which is located in the West US 3 region.
Which of the following actions should you perform? Select two.
- Deploy VM-Prod1 to a specific Availability Zone in the West US 3 region.Answer
- Associate VM-Prod1 with Vault1 to configure the backup.Answer
- CDeploy VM-Prod1 to a new Availability Set.
- DCreate a new Recovery Services vault in the East US region and associate it with VM-Prod1.
Answer
Deploy the virtual machine in an Availability Zone and associate it with the existing Recovery Services vault in the same region.
To protect against datacenter-wide outages, virtual machines must be deployed across Availability Zones. Additionally, because the existing Recovery Services vault is in the same region as the virtual machine (West US 3), the virtual machine can be backed up directly using this vault.
