Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 28

You architect a solution that calculates 3D geometry from height-map data.
You have the following requirements:
✑ Perform calculations in Azure.
✑ Each node must communicate data to every other node.
✑ Maximize the number of nodes to calculate multiple scenes as fast as possible.
✑ Require the least amount of effort to implement.
You need to recommend a solution.
Which two actions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Create a render farm that uses Azure Batch.
• B. Enable parallel file systems on Azure.
• C. Enable parallel task execution on compute nodes.
• D. Create a render farm that uses virtual machine (VM) scale sets.
• E. Create a render farm that uses virtual machines (VMs).

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct actions are A and C because creating a render farm with Azure Batch allows for efficient job scheduling and resource management, while enabling parallel task execution on compute nodes maximizes processing speed. Options B, D, and E either do not meet the communication requirements or do not optimize for speed and implementation effort as effectively as A and C.
