AZ-104 Question #709: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table. You need to configure a proximity placement group for VMSS1. Which proximity placement groups should you use?

Options

• AProximity2 only
• BProximity1, Proximity2, and Proximity3
• CProximity1 only
• DProximity1 and Proximity3 only

Explanation

To configure a proximity placement group for VMSS1, you must select a group located in the exact same Azure region as VMSS1.

Common mistakes.

• A. This is incorrect because Proximity2 is in "West US", which is a different region than VMSS1's "East US" location, making it incompatible for co-location.
• B. This is incorrect because Proximity2 and Proximity3 are in different Azure regions ("West US" and "East US 2" respectively) than VMSS1's "East US" region, violating the single-region requirement for proximity placement groups.
• D. This is incorrect because Proximity3 is in "East US 2", which is a distinct Azure region from "East US", preventing VMSS1 from being placed in that group.
