Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 225

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.
Your company's developers intend to deploy a large number of custom virtual machines on a weekly basis. They will also be removing these virtual machines during the same week it was deployed. Sixty percent of the virtual machines have Windows Server 2016 installed, while the other forty percent has Ubuntu Linux installed.
You are required to make sure that the administrative effort, needed for this process, is reduced by employing a suitable Azure service.
Solution: You recommend the use of Azure Reserved Virtual Machines (VM) Instances.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The proposed solution of using Azure Reserved Virtual Machines (VM) Instances does not meet the goal because reserved instances are designed for long-term commitments and are not suitable for virtual machines that are frequently created and deleted. Instead, Azure Spot VMs or pay-as-you-go pricing would be more appropriate for this scenario, as they better accommodate the dynamic nature of the VM lifecycle described.
