Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (2020, legacy) — Question 13

You plan to automate the deployment of a virtual machine scale set that uses the Windows Server 2016 Datacenter image.
You need to ensure that when the scale set virtual machines are provisioned, they have web server components installed.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Upload a configuration script.
• B. Create an Azure policy.
• C. Modify the extensionProfile section of the Azure Resource Manager template.
• D. Create a new virtual machine scale set in the Azure portal.
• E. Create an automation account.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C because uploading a configuration script allows you to automate the installation of web server components, while modifying the extensionProfile section of the Azure Resource Manager template enables the application of that script during provisioning. Options B, D, and E do not directly contribute to ensuring the web server components are installed during the virtual machine setup.
