Zorluk: OrtaCompute Virtualization Solutions

An insurance firm is designing the compute infrastructure for a new core claims processing application. The application has the following requirements:
- It runs a steady-state, critical production workload that operates 24/7.
- It requires high memory-to-CPU ratios for memory-intensive data analysis.
- It must meet an SLA of 99.99% uptime.
- It must minimize costs for baseline continuous usage.

Which two compute configurations should you recommend to meet these requirements? (Select two.)

  1. Deploy E-series virtual machines within a Virtual Machine Scale Set in Flexible orchestration mode spread across multiple Availability Zones.Cevap
  2. Utilize Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances for the selected virtual machine sizes.Cevap
  3. C
    Deploy D-series Azure Spot Virtual Machines to run the core claims processing services.
  4. D
    Deploy all claims processing virtual machines within a single Availability Zone using a Proximity Placement Group.

Cevap

Deploy E-series virtual machines within a Virtual Machine Scale Set in Flexible orchestration mode spread across multiple Availability Zones, and utilize Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances for the selected virtual machine sizes.
To meet the 99.99% uptime SLA and high memory requirements of the claims processing application, you should deploy E-series (memory-optimized) virtual machines across multiple Availability Zones using a Virtual Machine Scale Set in Flexible orchestration mode. Additionally, because the workload is steady-state and operates 24/7, Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances should be utilized to minimize baseline compute costs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the workload characteristics and SLA requirements.
The workload requires high memory-to-CPU ratios (demanding E-series virtual machines) and must meet a 99.99% availability SLA (demanding deployment across multiple Availability Zones, such as using Virtual Machine Scale Sets in Flexible orchestration mode).
Correct virtual machine series selection and high availability design are critical to meeting technical and business requirements.
2
Determine the appropriate billing model for a 24/7 steady-state workload.
Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances should be used for cost optimization instead of Spot Virtual Machines.
Steady-state workloads running continuously benefit from the cost reduction of reservation commitments, whereas Spot Virtual Machines can be evicted and do not guarantee uptime.
