Difficulty: EasyCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

You are deploying a new Azure virtual machine by using the Azure portal. You need to configure infrastructure redundancy for the virtual machine to protect the application from localized failures. Which two infrastructure redundancy options can you configure under the Availability options setting during VM creation? (Select two.)

  1. Availability zoneAnswer
  2. Availability setAnswer
  3. C
    Proximity placement group
  4. D
    Recovery Services vault

Answer

The correct answers are the options representing 'Availability zone' and 'Availability set'.
The correct options are Availability zone and Availability set. Availability zones isolate workloads by placing virtual machines in physically distinct datacenter facilities within the same region, ensuring protection against power, cooling, or structural failures. Availability sets isolate virtual machines across different physical hardware nodes (fault domains and update domains) within a single datacenter, guarding against isolated hardware issues.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the goal of the configuration, which is to protect the virtual machine from localized failures using infrastructure redundancy.
Identify that the setting must be a placement redundancy option configured during virtual machine creation.
This isolates the options to standard VM high availability placement configurations.
2
Review the options available under the Availability options dropdown on the Basics tab in the Azure portal.
Determine that both Availability zones (datacenter-level redundancy) and Availability sets (hardware-level redundancy within a datacenter) are available placement options.
Both configurations allow Azure to deploy VMs across distinct fault boundaries.
