Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications — Question 54

Your company uses Microsoft Azure DevTest Labs for testing applications.
The DevTest Labs environment must provide a preconfigured base image for a virtual machine that can be used for all development efforts. The virtual machine must be able to be reproduced in various environments.
You need to provision the virtual machine.
What should you implement?

Answer options

• A. custom images
• B. Marketplace images
• C. formulas
• D. artifacts

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, formulas, as they allow you to create and manage configurations for virtual machines in Azure DevTest Labs, enabling consistent reproduction across environments. The other options are not suitable because custom images (A) and Marketplace images (B) do not provide the same level of configurability and repeatability, while artifacts (D) are used for adding components to the virtual machine rather than provisioning it.
