A logistics company needs to provide a secure environment for its external claims adjusters to access a desktop-based claims processing application from their personal devices. They also need to migrate a legacy database workload that requires administrative access for custom operating system patches. Which two statements are correct regarding the use of Azure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop in this scenario? (Select two.)
- Azure Virtual Desktop supports multi-session Windows 11 configurations, which allows multiple claims adjusters to sign in and share a single host virtual machine concurrently.Answer
- Azure Virtual Machines are appropriate for the database workload because they provide the company with full administrative access to the operating system to install custom patches.Answer
- CThe claims adjusters can run concurrent multi-session Windows 11 environments on standard Azure Virtual Machines without deploying Azure Virtual Desktop.
- DMicrosoft automatically manages and applies operating system updates and patches for the virtual machines hosting the legacy database.
- ETo handle a variable number of claims adjusters, Azure Virtual Desktop relies on vertical scaling (scaling up the size of a single VM) rather than horizontal scaling (scaling out by adding more VM instances).
Answer
Azure Virtual Desktop supports multi-session Windows 11 configurations, which allows multiple claims adjusters to sign in and share a single host virtual machine concurrently. Also, Azure Virtual Machines are appropriate for the database workload because they provide the company with full administrative access to the operating system to install custom patches.
The correct statements recognize that Azure Virtual Desktop uniquely supports multi-session Windows 11 configurations to allow multiple users to concurrently share VM resources, and that Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS) provide full administrative control to manage and patch the operating system.
