Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 77

You plan to deploy an SAP environment on Azure. The SAP environment will have landscapes for production, development and quality assurance.

You need to minimize the costs associated with running the development and quality assurance landscapes on Azure.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure scaling for Azure App Service
• B. Create a scheduled task that runs the stopsap command
• C. Configure Azure virtual machine scale sets
• D. Create Azure Automation runbooks to stop, deallocate, and start Azure virtual machines

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Azure Automation runbooks can efficiently manage the lifecycle of virtual machines by stopping and deallocating them when not in use, thereby saving costs. Options A and C do not directly address cost reduction for development and quality assurance landscapes, and option B does not provide a comprehensive solution for managing virtual machine usage.
