Difficulty: MediumCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

You have an existing Availability Set named AvSet1 in the East US region. You need to deploy a new virtual machine named VM2 and configure it to be part of AvSet1. Which configuration must be applied during the creation of VM2?

  1. A
    Deploy VM2 first, and then use the Azure portal to associate the running virtual machine with AvSet1.
  2. Select AvSet1 during creation, ensuring that VM2 is deployed in the same region and resource group as AvSet1.Answer
  3. C
    Configure VM2 to deploy to Availability Zone 1, and then select AvSet1 as the secondary redundancy option.
  4. D
    Deploy VM2 in the West US region within the same resource group, and then select AvSet1 during creation.

Answer

Select the existing Availability Set during the creation process, ensuring that the new virtual machine is deployed in the same Azure region and resource group as the Availability Set.
To place a virtual machine in an Availability Set, the configuration must be specified during the creation wizard. Because an Availability Set is a regional resource and bound to a single resource group, the new virtual machine must be deployed in the same region (East US) and resource group as the target Availability Set.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the phase when an Availability Set must be associated with a virtual machine.
The virtual machine must be added to the Availability Set during VM creation. Azure does not support adding an existing virtual machine to an Availability Set.
This is a configuration constraint for Azure virtual machines.
2
Verify scope and dependency requirements for Availability Sets.
The virtual machine must be created in the same Azure region and the same resource group as the target Availability Set.
Availability Sets are regional resources and logical groupings restricted to a single resource group.
3
Evaluate availability option compatibility.
Availability Zones and Availability Sets cannot be configured simultaneously for the same virtual machine.
They are mutually exclusive high availability mechanisms.
