Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 39

Scenario: The IT team of a company needs to mitigate the Hardware Layer to Microsoft Azure. The Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines are manually provisioned within Microsoft Azure. The IT team asks a Citrix Architect for a solution for high availability of existing VDA machines in a single Azure data center.
The objective is to be proactive about any hardware failure at Microsoft Azure, so that all virtual machines (VMs) will NOT be affected.
What should the architect recommend the IT team create in Microsoft Azure?

Answer options

• A. Resource group
• B. Availability sets with fault domain
• C. Availability sets with update domain
• D. Availability zones

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Availability sets with fault domain provide redundancy and ensure that VMs are distributed across different physical hardware within the Azure data center. This setup protects against hardware failures, ensuring that not all VMs are impacted. Options A, C, and D do not specifically address the proactive measures needed for hardware failure mitigation in a single data center context.
