AZ-103 Exam - Question 63

Question

SIMULATION -Please wait while the virtual machine loads. Once loaded, you may proceed to the lab section. This may take a few minutes, and the wait time will not be deducted from your overall test time. When the Next button is available, click it to access the lab section. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e. g, copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design. Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task. Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided. Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab. You may now click next to proceed to the lab. You need to deploy an Azure virtual machine named VM1004a based on an Ubuntu Server image, and then configure VM1004a to meet the following requirements:✑ The virtual machine must contain data disks that can store at least 15 TB of data. ✑ The data disks must be able to provide at least 2. 000 IOPS. ✑ Storage costs must be minimized. What should you do from the Azure portal?

To deploy an Azure virtual machine named VM1004a based on an Ubuntu Server image and configure it to meet the stated requirements, follow these steps: Step 1: Open the Azure portal and sign in to your Azure account. Step 2: Click on 'Create a resource' and then select 'Ubuntu Server' from the list of available images. Step 3: Enter the necessary configurations such as the name VM1004a, the resource group, and the region. Step 4: Choose a VM size that supports data disks with high IOPS. Step 5: Under the 'Disks' section, add data disks with the appropriate specifications. To meet the requirements of at least 15 TB of storage and 2000 IOPS, choose data disks of size and type that support these specifications. The E70 disk size is appropriate as it supports up to 16 TB and provides up to 4000 IOPS, ensuring it meets and exceeds the requirements. Step 6: Complete the rest of the configuration settings as desired, and then review and create the VM. Step 7: Once created, ensure that the VM and its data disks are properly set up by accessing the VM and verifying the storage capacity and IOPS performance through benchmarks or performance metrics. Using an E70 disk ensures you meet both the storage capacity and performance requirements while optimizing costs for a high-performance environment.

This should be an S70 and not an E70

S70 is up to 2000 iops and this is max not "at least". In my opinion standard ssd E70 is the right answer

Also with these questions don't forget the Terabyte vs Tebibyte component - Azure Portal states sizes in TiB, the question is stating in TB - there is a slight difference. 
In this case E70 is still correct as it provides 16TiB which is 17.59TB, and up to 4000 IOPS.

Does anyone here know if the simulations on the test have the handy list of drives and their performance like when you click on Add Disk in the production version of Azure?

Azzz2 · Answer

S70 is more cheaper than E70 so its minimize the cost

MedRaito · Answer

What about 16 To ? how we can check this ?

nfett · Answer

per this link S70 is cheaper than E70 and matches the requirements of the question.

bingomutant · Answer

'the data disks' … shouldn't we create the VM first with a small disk for the OS, and then add a data disk after creation as per requirements and as per best practise?

nfett · Answer

reviewed this some more and the E70 answer is right.

macco455 · Answer

DIsk has to be AT LEAST 2000 IOPS. By saying at least, the questions is expecting the IOPS to be higher than 2000 so E70 is the right answer for this question

Sitender · Answer

Correct VM size is S70 but when I wanted to do practice, could not see/select S70 for ubunti image. Is this can be limitation of subscription ?

nfett · Answer

reviewed again. S70 is cheaper thus the more appropriate choice.

E70 	16 TiB 	$1,228.80 	Up to 4,000 	Up to 600 MB/second
S70 	16 TiB 	$491.52 	Up to 2,000 	Up to 500 MB/second

finolweb · Answer

This should be an S70

JBinuya · Answer

The data disks must be able to provide at least 2.000 IOPS - means performance must not go below 2000 IOPS. If you choose S70 it will always be maxed out and will not be healthy in the long run so may cause frequent replacement (in the end too costly) Choosing E70 will ensure that it can operate at 2000 and higher thus ensuring integrity during heavy operations that are 2000 and above IOPS.

Gen1 VMs has imitation of max 2TB disk size. VM should be Gen2.
