Read the first 6 Azure Virtual Machines & Compute flashcards as text

  1. Which VM size series is optimized for memory-intensive workloads such as relational databases and in-memory analytics in Azure?

    Answer: Ev3 series

    The Ev3 series is memory-optimized and ideal for in-memory workloads like large relational databases and caches.

  2. What is the maximum number of data disks that can be attached to a Standard_D8s_v3 VM?

    Answer: 32

    The Standard_D8s_v3 VM supports up to 32 data disks.

  3. Which Azure feature allows you to group multiple VMs across fault domains and update domains to ensure high availability?

    Answer: Availability Set

    Availability Sets distribute VMs across fault domains and update domains to protect against hardware failures and planned maintenance.

  4. When deploying VMs in an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set, which autoscale trigger is based on a metric from Azure Monitor?

    Answer: Metric-based scaling

    Metric-based scaling in VMSS uses Azure Monitor metrics such as CPU percentage to automatically scale in or out.

  5. Which disk type provides the highest IOPS and lowest latency for Azure VMs running production workloads?

    Answer: Ultra Disk

    Ultra Disk offers the highest IOPS (up to 160,000) and sub-millisecond latency for the most demanding workloads.

  6. What Azure feature enables you to reserve compute capacity for VMs in a specific region, guaranteeing availability even during capacity constraints?

    Answer: Capacity Reservations

    Azure Capacity Reservations allow you to reserve compute capacity in a region, ensuring it is available when needed without committing to a specific VM.
