Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 248

A team of developers at your company plans to deploy, and then remove, 50 virtual machines each week. All the virtual machines are configured by using Azure
Resource Manager templates.
You need to recommend which Azure service will minimize the administrative effort required to deploy and remove the virtual machines.
What should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Azure Reserved Virtual Machine (VM) Instances
• B. Azure DevTest Labs
• C. Azure virtual machine scale sets
• D. Azure Virtual Desktop

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Azure DevTest Labs is designed to simplify the creation, deployment, and management of virtual machines, making it ideal for scenarios where VMs need to be frequently deployed and removed. Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances (A) do not facilitate easy deployment and removal, while Azure virtual machine scale sets (C) focus on scaling rather than managing individual VM lifecycles. Azure Virtual Desktop (D) is geared towards desktop environments rather than managing VMs directly.
