You have an Azure virtual machine that runs Ubuntu 16.04-DAILY-LTS.
You plan to deploy and configure an Azure Key vault, and enable Azure Disk Encryption for the virtual machine.
Which of the following is TRUE with regards to Azure Disk Encryption for a Linux VM?
Azure Disk Encryption is not supported for basic tier VMs. This means that VMs running in the basic tier cannot utilize this encryption feature. This constraint helps ensure that users are aware of the limitations and can plan their VM deployments accordingly, choosing appropriate tiers that support their need for encryption.
option A is correct . you can find Unsupported scenarios Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method. Disabling encryption on an OS drive or data drive of a Linux VM when the OS drive is encrypted. Encrypting the OS drive for Linux virtual machine scale sets. Encrypting custom images on Linux VMs. Integration with an on-premises key management system. Azure Files (shared file system). Network File System (NFS). Dynamic volumes. Ephemeral OS disks.
On 2-March-2023, I passed AZ-500 with flying colur. Not direct question. Asked about steps to configure Azure Disk Encryption using Keyvault
A. It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs.
C is not correct https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/disk-encryption-overview. OS drive is NOT supported for scale sets, only data volumes. Thus, the correct answer is A.
Correct
A is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux#unsupported-scenarios Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: - Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method.
D. Custom image encryption is supported. With Azure Disk Encryption, you can encrypt the OS and data disks of Linux virtual machines. It is supported for both basic tier and standard tier VMs.
This is not correct, "Encrypting custom images on Linux VMs." is listed directly under the list of scnearios where a Linux VM can NOT be encrypted.
Thanks all but confused which is right answer.
Based on this A is the right answer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview
A is correct. Data volumes in Linux scale sets. OS disk encryption is NOT supported at present for Linux scale sets. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/disk-encryption-overview
A is correct answer. Azure Disk Encryption is not available on Basic, A-series VMs, or on virtual machines that do not meet these minimum memory requirements: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/modules/host-security/8-disk-encryption
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview
Answer is A. Linux VMSS is not supported, so answer C is false. "Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method. Disabling encryption on an OS drive or data drive of a Linux VM when the OS drive is encrypted. Encrypting the OS drive for Linux virtual machine scale sets." see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux
It feels like the question is specific towards the version of the Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04-DAILY-LTS, which is not supported by Azure Disk Encryption, based on this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview and according to the link, the lowest version supported is 18.04-DAILY-LTS.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview#:~:text=Azure%20Disk%20Encryption%20is%20also%20not%20available%20on%20Basic%2C%20A%2Dseries%20VMs
A. It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux Here is a quote from the document: Azure Disk Encryption is supported on both basic and standard tier VMs. The document also says that custom image encryption is supported. Here is a quote from the document: Custom image encryption is supported. The answer is not A Answer is D
yes questions also says is not supported and you also same same but you choose D why answer is A
This is not correct (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview); MS says this: Azure Disk Encryption is also not available on Basic, A-series VMs, or on virtual machines that do not meet these minimum memory requirements....)
Azure Disk Encryption supports encryption of custom images for Linux VMs.
