When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the `˜Next' button.

Note that you cannot return to the lab once you click the `˜Next' button. Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam.

Overview -

The following section of the exam is a lab. 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.

To start the lab -

You may start the lab by clicking the Next button.

You need to deploy two Azure virtual machines named VM1003a and VM1003b based on an Ubuntu Server image. The deployment must meet the following requirements:

- Provide a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent availability

- Use managed disks

What should you do from the Azure portal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

To meet the requirements of deploying two Azure virtual machines named VM1003a and VM1003b based on an Ubuntu Server image with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent availability and using managed disks, follow these steps in the Azure portal: 1. Sign in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com. 2. Create an Availability Set to ensure the VMs meet the 99.95% SLA requirement. Navigate to 'Availability sets' under 'All services' and create a new Availability Set. Fill in necessary details such as name, resource group, and fault domains. 3. Create the first virtual machine (VM1003a): - Navigate to 'Create a resource' and select 'Virtual machine'. - In the 'Basics' tab, provide the necessary details including the name (VM1003a), region, and resource group. Ensure the same resource group is used as for the Availability Set. - Choose the appropriate size for the VM. - In the 'Disks' tab, ensure 'Use managed disks' is enabled. - In the 'Advanced' tab, select the created Availability Set. - Complete the configuration and create the VM. 4. Create the second virtual machine (VM1003b) by repeating the above steps, ensuring to select the same Availability Set and resource group. This setup ensures that the VMs are in an availability set, providing the desired SLA and utilizing managed disks. This configuration will fulfill the requirement of deploying two VMs with 99.95% availability and managed disks.

Availability Set should be selected for each VM creation, in order to provide 99.95% SLA https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

1. Availability Set should be used for the SLA 99.95% requirement. 2. Note AS must be created before the 2x VMs. 3. When creating the 2X VMs, RG & region must match the AS.

VMs have to be in an availability set: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

In the tab "Disks" click "Advanced" and select "Use managed disks"

It's the default setting

If VM1003a and VM1003b are different VM's (not only two instances of the same) the answer is correct.

Isn't it the other way round? IF they are two instances of the same and we put them in an Availability Set, THEN we have 99.95 % availability? Question is about "availability", it does not mention if for single VM or for both.

As per Microsoft document, For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Standard SSD Managed Disks for Operating System Disk and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 99.5%. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

But as 99.95% is asked (and not 99.5%), an availability set is required "For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set or in the same Dedicated Host Group, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.95% of the time."

For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed across two or more Availability Zones in the same Azure region, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.99% of the time. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/
