A company is planning to deploy two workloads in Azure:
- A virtualized desktop environment for remote customer service agents. Multiple agents must be able to sign in concurrently to the same host virtual machine running Windows 11 to minimize deployment costs.
- A backend database application running on Linux. The administrators must have root access to configure custom operating system kernel parameters.
Which of the following Azure compute services should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
- Azure Virtual DesktopAnswer
- Azure Virtual MachinesAnswer
- CAzure App Service
- DAzure Container Instances
Answer
To meet the requirements, the company should use Azure Virtual Desktop to host the multi-session Windows 11 desktop environments, and Azure Virtual Machines to provide the administrators with full root-level control over the Linux operating system.
Azure Virtual Desktop is the correct service for the first requirement because it enables Windows 11 multi-session capabilities, allowing multiple remote users to share a single virtual host to optimize costs. Azure Virtual Machines is correct for the second requirement because it provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) capabilities, granting administrators complete root access and full control over the underlying Linux operating system and its kernel parameters.
