A university is designing the compute infrastructure for a student registration portal that will run on Azure Virtual Machines. The registration portal experiences high seasonal traffic and must remain resilient during infrastructure updates or datacenter-level disruptions. The portal requires a virtual machine uptime SLA of at least .
Which two actions should you include in the design? (Select two.)
- Deploy at least two virtual machines for the portal.Answer
- Distribute the virtual machines across two or more Availability Zones in the same Azure region.Answer
- CDeploy all virtual machines within a single Availability Zone.
- DDeploy the virtual machines in an Availability Set.
Answer
To meet the requirement, you should deploy at least two virtual machines for the portal and distribute the virtual machines across two or more Availability Zones in the same Azure region.
To achieve a uptime SLA for Azure Virtual Machines, you must deploy two or more instances across two or more Availability Zones in the same region. This ensures that even if one datacenter or zone undergoes an outage, the application remains available on the instances in the other zone(s).
