Microsoft Azure Architect Design (2020, legacy) — Question 35

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Windows Virtual Desktop tenant.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the following requirements:
✑ Start and stop Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts based on business hours.
✑ Scale out Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts when required.
✑ Minimize compute costs.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Azure Automation, as it provides the ability to schedule tasks to start and stop session hosts based on specified times, facilitating cost management and scalability. Microsoft Intune does not directly manage virtual desktop session hosts, while a Windows Virtual Desktop automation task is not a standalone solution for scheduling. Azure Service Health primarily focuses on service health notifications rather than managing resources.
