Question

you plan to deploy three web server virtual machines (vms) to a virtual network in azure. you need to protect the vms against azure data center failure within your region. which configuration option should you choose for your vms? a availability zone b availability set c windows virtual desktop d azure vpn gateway

Explanation:

• Availability Zone: These are physically separate locations within an Azure region. By placing VMs in different availability zones, if one data center (zone) fails, VMs in other zones can still operate. This protects against data - center - level failures within a region.
• Availability Set: It is used to ensure that VMs are not all placed on the same physical hardware. However, it does not protect against data - center - level failures (like a power outage in an entire data center). It mainly protects against hardware - level (server, disk etc.) failures within a data center.
• Windows Virtual Desktop: It is a service for creating virtual desktops, not for protecting VMs against data - center failures.
• Azure VPN Gateway: It is used for creating secure connections (VPN) between on - premise networks and Azure virtual networks, not for protecting VMs against data - center failures.

Answer:

A. Availability Zone
