Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack — Question 24

You have an Azure stack integrated system.
You already have several Microsoft Azure Marketplace images downloaded.
Several tenants request that a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 (SP2) Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 image be available in the Azure Stack
Marketplace.
You need to meet the request by using the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Azure Marketplace, deploy a SQL Server 2014 SP2 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 image, copy the VHD file to Azure Stack, and then publish the image to the Azure Stack Marketplace.
• B. Create a new virtual machine that runs Windows Server 2012 R2, install SQL Server 2014 SP2 Enterprise, and then publish the image to the Azure Stack Marketplace.
• C. From Marketplace Management, click Add from Azure, and then download the SQL Server 2014 SP2 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 image.
• D. Create a new virtual machine image based on an existing SQL Server 2014 SP2 Enterprise virtual machine, upload the image to the Azure Stack Marketplace, and then publish the image for all users.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it allows you to directly add the SQL Server 2014 SP2 Enterprise image from Azure, minimizing administrative effort. Options A and B involve more manual steps, such as deploying or creating a virtual machine, which requires additional time and resources. Option D also requires unnecessary steps in creating and uploading a new image.
