An administrator creates an Azure resource group named RG-Finance in the West US region. The administrator needs to deploy a virtual machine to the East US region.
Which of the following is true regarding the location of the virtual machine and the resource group?
- The virtual machine can be deployed to the East US region while its resource group is in the West US region.Answer
- BThe virtual machine must be deployed to the West US region because resources must match their resource group's location.
- CThe virtual machine must be placed in a separate resource group nested inside RG-Finance.
- DThe virtual machine will automatically inherit the location of the resource group and deploy to West US.
Answer
The virtual machine can be deployed to the East US region while its resource group is in the West US region.
The correct answer is correct because Azure resources can reside in a different region than the resource group that contains them. The resource group's location specifies where the metadata for the resources is stored, but it does not enforce a regional boundary for the resources themselves.
