Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 36

Your company has an Azure subscription.
You need to deploy a number of Azure virtual machines (VMs) using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. You have been informed that the VMs will be included in a single availability set.
You are required to make sure that the ARM template you configure allows for as many VMs as possible to remain accessible in the event of fabric failure or maintenance.
Which of the following is the value that you should configure for the platformFaultDomainCount property?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as setting the platformFaultDomainCount to the maximum value allows for the highest number of VMs to remain operational during failures or maintenance events. Options A and B provide specific numbers that do not guarantee maximum availability, and option C (Min Value) would limit the fault domains, reducing accessibility.
