The correct answer is B. Increase the replica count to 3 in the deployment region. Slow deployment of 60 session hosts from a Shared Image Gallery image suggests insufficient image replicas, which can be resolved by increasing the replica count in the deployment region to handle the provisioning demand.
Question
You decide to add a new image to the Shared Image Gallery definition. This image is utilized for a large-scale Azure Virtual Desktop deployment with 60 Session Hosts. While deploying, you notice that the new session host process is somewhat slow and it gets time out. Which of the following steps would you take to resolve this issue?
Options
- ADouble the replica count in the deployment region
- BIncrease the replica count to 3 in the deployment region
- CIncrease the replica count to 6 in the deployment region
- DReplicate the image to 10 different regions
- EReplicate the image to 5 different regions

Why each option
Slow deployment of 60 session hosts from a Shared Image Gallery image suggests insufficient image replicas, which can be resolved by increasing the replica count in the deployment region to handle the provisioning demand.
Doubling the replica count (to 2 from a default of 1) might not be sufficient to handle 60 concurrent VM deployments, as each replica typically supports around 20 VMs.
Increasing the replica count to 3 in the deployment region is a recommended practice for Shared Image Gallery images, as one replica can efficiently serve approximately 20 concurrent VM deployments, ensuring faster provisioning for 60 session hosts.
Increasing the replica count to 6 is excessive for 60 session hosts and would result in unnecessary storage costs without significant additional performance benefits beyond 3 replicas.
Replicating the image to 10 different regions is irrelevant for resolving slow deployment issues within a single deployment region; it's used for multi-region deployments.
Replicating the image to 5 different regions is irrelevant for resolving slow deployment issues within a single deployment region; it's used for multi-region deployments.
