Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 212

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
You are tasked with deploying a critical LOB application, which will be installed on a virtual machine, to Azure.
You are informed that the application deployment strategy should allow for a guaranteed availability of 99.99 percent. You need to make sure that the strategy requires as little virtual machines and availability zones as possible.
Solution: You include one virtual machine and two availability zones in your strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because having one virtual machine across two availability zones does not provide the necessary redundancy to achieve 99.99% availability. To satisfy this requirement, at least two virtual machines should be deployed across the availability zones to ensure fault tolerance.
