Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 94

Scenario: The IT team of a company configured its Citrix environment on Microsoft Azure. Load on the servers is nominal during the off season, but during peak season, load increases on the infrastructure servers. This load varies from year to year. A Citrix Architect is asked to design a solution that dynamically increases and decreases the number of infrastructure servers.
What should the architect recommend the IT team create in Microsoft Azure to meet this demand?

Answer options

• A. Availability sets
• B. Resource group
• C. Scale sets
• D. Availability domains

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Scale sets, as they allow for the automatic scaling of virtual machines based on demand, which is ideal for fluctuating loads. Availability sets (A) and availability domains (D) are focused on high availability rather than dynamic scaling, and a resource group (B) is a container for managing Azure resources but does not handle scaling.
