Difficulty: MediumCreate and Configure Virtual Machines

You are planning the deployment and configuration of several Azure virtual machines. Each virtual machine has specific performance, boot, or administration requirements. Match each virtual machine configuration requirement to its corresponding Azure virtual machine feature.

  • Store the virtual machine operating system on the local host cache to achieve high-speed read/write access and eliminate remote storage costs, with the understanding that data is lost upon virtual machine deallocation.Ephemeral OS Disk
  • Execute an administrative script on a running virtual machine using the VM Agent without provisioning any virtual machine extensions.Run Command
  • Enable support for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot architecture and provision virtual machine OS disks larger than 2 TB2\text{ TB}.Generation 2 Virtual Machine
  • Capture serial console logs and virtual machine screenshots during the boot process to troubleshoot operating system startup failures.Boot Diagnostics

Answer

The correct matches pair the Ephemeral OS Disk with host-cache storage, Run Command with VM Agent script execution, Generation 2 Virtual Machine with UEFI and large OS disk support, and Boot Diagnostics with boot troubleshooting screenshots.
The correct pairings align the appropriate Azure VM configuration features to their respective operational goals: Ephemeral OS Disk for low-latency host-cache storage, Run Command for agent-based scripting, Generation 2 VMs for UEFI and large OS volumes, and Boot Diagnostics for visual boot troubleshooting.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the storage configuration that utilizes the physical host's local cache for the OS disk, which is the Ephemeral OS Disk feature.
Matched requirement 1 to Ephemeral OS Disk.
Ephemeral OS disks run on local host caching rather than remote Azure Storage.
2
Select the option that allows execution of scripts inside a running VM without using extensions, which is the Run Command feature.
Matched requirement 2 to Run Command.
Run Command leverages the pre-installed VM Agent directly.
3
Recognize that UEFI boot support and OS disks exceeding 2 TB2\text{ TB} are capabilities introduced in Generation 2 Virtual Machines.
Matched requirement 3 to Generation 2 Virtual Machine.
Generation 1 VMs are constrained to MBR boot disks, limiting them to 2 TB2\text{ TB}.
4
Correlate the troubleshooting of startup failures via screenshots and console logs to Boot Diagnostics.
Matched requirement 4 to Boot Diagnostics.
Boot Diagnostics captures system screenshots and serial log streams at startup.
