Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains two resource groups named RG1 and RG2. RG1 contains the resources shown in the following table. You move VM1 to RG2. Which resources are in RG2 after the move?

Options

  • AVM1 only
  • BVM1 and Disk1 only
  • CVM1, NIC1, and Disk1 only
  • DVM1, VNet1, NIC1, and Disk1

Explanation

When an Azure Virtual Machine is moved to a new resource group, its directly associated resources like managed disks and network interfaces are also moved, but the virtual network itself is not.

Common mistakes.

  • A. A virtual machine cannot exist without its associated managed disk and network interface, so moving only VM1 is not a valid outcome; its dependencies are moved too.
  • B. This is incorrect because the Network Interface Card (NIC1) is also a direct dependency of VM1 and would be moved along with it.
  • D. The virtual network (VNet1) is a separate network resource that contains subnets; it is not automatically moved when a VM connected to it is moved to a different resource group.
