Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure subscription. You plan to deploy two 100-virtual machine deployments as shown in the following table. You need to recommend a virtual machine grouping solution for the deployments. What should you include in the recommendation for each deployment? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Answer Area

  • Include An availability set in the recommendation for Deployment1Yes
  • Include A virtual machine scale set in Flexible orchestration mode in the recommendation for Deployment1No
  • Include A virtual machine scale set in Uniform orchestration mode in the recommendation for Deployment1No
  • Include An availability set in the recommendation for Deployment2Yes
  • Include A virtual machine scale set in Flexible orchestration mode in the recommendation for Deployment2No
  • Include A virtual machine scale set in Uniform orchestration mode in the recommendation for Deployment2No

Explanation

Availability sets provide fault domain and update domain separation for VMs within a single datacenter, making them ideal for deployments requiring high availability across hardware failures and planned maintenance within one region. For Deployment1 (which likely requires same-datacenter HA with specific VM configurations), an availability set is the correct choice. Flexible orchestration mode scale sets are more versatile but are better suited when you need autoscaling or cross-zone distribution, while Uniform orchestration mode is designed for identical VM instances at scale (like stateless workloads), not heterogeneous VM configurations typical in standard deployments.
