You have an Azure Virtual Desktop pooled host pool named HostPool1. You need to dynamically allocate resources to HostPool1 based on the number of sessions for each host. What should you create?

Question

Options

• Aa load balancer rule
• Ba scaling plan
• Ca virtual machine scale set
• Dan availability set

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  76% (19)
• C
  12% (3)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

An Azure Virtual Desktop scaling plan enables automatic, session-driven scaling of session hosts in a host pool. It allows you to define schedules and thresholds (e.g., start additional hosts when sessions per host exceed a limit; deallocate hosts when sessions drop below a minimum) to dynamically match compute capacity to demand. This directly addresses 'dynamically allocate resources based on the number of sessions.' Option A (load balancer rule) distributes traffic across existing hosts but does not start/stop VMs. Option C (VM scale set) is a general Azure compute feature not natively integrated with AVD host pool session-based scaling. Option D (availability set) is a fault/update domain grouping for high availability, with no scaling capability.
