Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure — Question 20

Your company has an Azure subscription.
You need to deploy a number of Azure virtual machines to the subscription by using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. The virtual machines will be included in a single availability set.
You need to ensure that the ARM template allows for as many virtual machines 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

• A. 10
• B. 30
• C. Min Value
• D. Max Value

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as setting the platformFaultDomainCount to Max Value allows the deployment to utilize the maximum number of fault domains, ensuring the highest availability during any fabric failure or maintenance. The other options either limit the fault domains or do not leverage the full potential of Azure's infrastructure, which could lead to increased downtime.
