Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop

An IT training company is planning to migrate its operations to Azure. They have the following requirements:

1. Run a specialized network security auditing application that requires the installation of a custom Windows kernel-mode driver.
2. Deploy virtualized Windows 11 environments for instructors, allowing multiple instructors to sign in to the same shared host concurrently.

Which of the following Azure solutions should be deployed to satisfy these requirements? (Select TWO)

  1. Azure Virtual Machines to host the network security auditing applicationAnswer
  2. Azure Virtual Desktop to host the multi-session Windows 11 instructor environmentsAnswer
  3. C
    Azure App Service to host the network security auditing application
  4. D
    A standard Windows 11 Azure Virtual Machine to host the instructor environments

Answer

Azure Virtual Machines should be used for the application requiring custom kernel drivers, and Azure Virtual Desktop should be used for the multi-session Windows 11 environments.
Deploying Azure Virtual Machines provides the necessary operating system administrative rights to install kernel-mode drivers for the security application. Using Azure Virtual Desktop enables multi-session Windows 11 capabilities, allowing multiple instructors to share compute resources concurrently.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirements for the network security auditing application.
The application requires custom kernel-mode drivers, which means full control over the operating system layer is necessary. This aligns with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Azure Virtual Machines is the primary IaaS compute service in Azure that provides complete OS-level control.
2
Analyze the requirements for the instructor environments.
The environments must run Windows 11 and support multiple concurrent users (multi-session) on a single virtual machine to reduce costs.
Azure Virtual Desktop is the only Azure service that supports multi-session Windows 11 client environments.

Key Concept

Understanding the distinction between IaaS control in Azure Virtual Machines and multi-session desktop virtualization in Azure Virtual Desktop.
