Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 33

Your company has three virtual machines (VMs) that are included in an availability set.
You try to resize one of the VMs, which returns an allocation failure message.
It is imperative that the VM is resized.
Which of the following actions should you take?

Answer options

• A. You should only stop one of the VMs.
• B. You should stop two of the VMs.
• C. You should stop all three VMs.
• D. You should remove the necessary VM from the availability set.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To successfully resize a VM in an availability set, all VMs must be stopped to ensure that resources can be reallocated appropriately. Stopping only one or two VMs may not free up enough resources, and removing the VM from the availability set can lead to loss of redundancy, which is not advisable.
