An organization is designing the compute layer for a telemetry processing workload. The workload will run on Azure Virtual Machines.
The design must meet the following requirements:
- Provide a virtual machine uptime SLA of .
- Protect the workload against localized datacenter outages within an Azure region.
- Minimize network latency between the virtual machine instances.
Which two actions should you include in the design? (Select two.)
- Deploy the virtual machines across two or more Availability Zones.Answer
- Associate the virtual machines with a Proximity Placement Group.Answer
- CDeploy the virtual machines within a single Availability Zone using an Availability Set.
- DDeploy the virtual machines as Spot Virtual Machines.
Answer
Deploy the virtual machines across two or more Availability Zones and associate the virtual machines with a Proximity Placement Group.
To achieve a SLA and ensure protection against a datacenter-level outage, the virtual machines must be distributed across two or more Availability Zones. To minimize network latency between the virtual machines, a Proximity Placement Group should be used to co-locate the resources as closely as possible.
