An organization is designing its workspace and compute strategy. The IT department must deploy the following environments:
1. A development environment where software engineers require full administrative rights to install custom kernel-level drivers and configure OS-level settings.
2. A temporary auditing environment where external auditors require simultaneous access to a standardized set of office applications on a shared pool of hosts, with the goal of minimizing compute costs.
Which two solutions should the organization implement to meet these requirements?
- Deploy individual Azure Virtual Machines for the software engineers.Answer
- Deploy Azure Virtual Desktop with a pooled host pool running Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session for the external auditors.Answer
- CDeploy Azure App Service to host the development environment for the software engineers.
- DDeploy a single standard Windows 11 Pro Azure Virtual Machine to host all 50 auditor sessions simultaneously.
Answer
The organization should deploy individual Azure Virtual Machines for the software engineers and deploy Azure Virtual Desktop with a pooled host pool running Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session for the external auditors.
Deploying individual Azure Virtual Machines satisfies the first requirement because virtual machines (IaaS) give full administrative rights to configure operating system-level settings and install custom drivers. Deploying Azure Virtual Desktop with a pooled host pool running Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session satisfies the second requirement because it allows multiple concurrent user sessions to share the same host pool resources, reducing costs while providing standard desktop applications.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Azure Virtual Machines provide complete OS administration (IaaS), while Azure Virtual Desktop supports pooled host configurations with Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session to allow cost-effective, multi-session remote desktop sharing.
