Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 84

You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to deploy an SAP workload that will contain five virtual machines. The virtual machines will contain SAP application servers in an Azure region that does NOT support availability zones.

You need to maximize the number of fault domains for the virtual machines. The solution must ensure that you can protect the virtual machines by using Azure Site Recovery.

What should you use?

Answer options

• A. multiple availability sets
• B. a single availability set
• C. a virtual machine scale set in Flexible orchestration mode
• D. a virtual machine scale set in Uniform orchestration mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Using a single availability set allows you to maximize the number of fault domains for the five virtual machines, which helps in maintaining availability during hardware failures. Multiple availability sets would not be beneficial in this scenario since the region lacks availability zones, making a single availability set the optimal choice. The other options, such as virtual machine scale sets, are not applicable here as they do not provide the same level of fault domain configuration needed for this specific deployment.
