Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop

A research institute requires two cloud compute solutions:

* A simulation application that must run on a dedicated Windows Server operating system where administrators have full access to modify registry settings and configure custom middleware.
* A virtual desktop environment that allows thirty remote assistants to access a shared Windows 11 client operating system simultaneously to run standard productivity tools.

Which combination of Azure services should the institute use to host these workloads?

  1. Azure Virtual Machines for the simulation application, and Azure Virtual Desktop for the virtual desktop environmentAnswer
  2. B
    Azure Virtual Desktop for the simulation application, and Azure Virtual Machines for the virtual desktop environment
  3. C
    Azure Virtual Machines for both the simulation application and the virtual desktop environment
  4. D
    Azure App Service for the simulation application, and Azure Virtual Desktop for the virtual desktop environment

Answer

Azure Virtual Machines for the simulation application, and Azure Virtual Desktop for the virtual desktop environment
The simulation application requires full administrative access to modify the operating system registry, which is a feature of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provided by Azure Virtual Machines. The virtual desktop environment requires hosting multiple user sessions on a single Windows 11 client operating system to minimize costs, which is a feature unique to Azure Virtual Desktop (specifically Windows 11 Multi-session).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirements for the first workload (the simulation application).
The simulation application requires dedicated Windows Server access, operating system administration, and registry/middleware customization, which aligns with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Azure Virtual Machines provide full administrative access to the OS, allowing users to configure registries and middleware.
2
Identify the requirements for the second workload (the remote assistants).
The remote assistants need a shared, virtualized Windows 11 client desktop environment that supports multiple concurrent sessions to reduce costs.
Azure Virtual Desktop supports multi-session Windows 11 desktop hosting, enabling multiple users to share compute resources.
3
Combine the correct services for both workloads.
Select the option that maps Azure Virtual Machines to the simulation app and Azure Virtual Desktop to the remote assistants.
This pairing fulfills both the administration requirements of the simulation app and the multi-session client virtualization requirements of the remote assistants.

Key Concept

Understanding the difference between the administration control of Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS) and the multi-session client desktop hosting capabilities of Azure Virtual Desktop.
