[All AZ-104 Questions]

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure virtual machine named VM1. VM1 runs a financial

reporting app named App1 that does not support multiple active instances.

At the end of each month, CPU usage for VM1 peaks when App1 runs.

You need to create a scheduled runbook to increase the processor performance of VM1 at the end of each month.

What task should you include in the runbook?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: E

To create a scheduled runbook to increase the processor performance of VM1 at the end of each month, you need to modify the VM size property of VM1. This will allow you to scale up the VM to a larger size that has more CPU cores and memory. You can use Azure Automation to create a PowerShell runbook that changes the VM size using the Set-AzVM cmdlet. You can then schedule the runbook to run at the end of each month using the Azure portal or Azure PowerShell.For more information, seeHow to resize a virtual machine in Azure using Azure Automation1.

Exactly, we need a direct solution, not just monitoring or configuration.

E is useful for configuration, but won't improve performance during peaks.

D seems unnecessary. Increasing the vCPU quota won't help if the VM isn't sized up.

C is not an option since App1 can't handle multiple instances.

Agreed, B makes sense. We need more resources for peak times.

I think B is the best choice. Modifying the VM size will directly boost performance.

A scale set won't work here since it doesn't support multiple instances.

Wait, can you really just change the size like that?

I practiced a similar question where we had to adjust resources for a VM. I think modifying the VM size is the best choice here, but I need to double-check the details.

I feel like increasing the vCPU quota might be relevant, but it seems more like a subscription-level change rather than something specific to VM1.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about scaling sets. Would adding VM1 to a scale set even work since it doesn't support multiple instances?

I think we need to modify the VM size property to handle the peak CPU usage, right? That seems like the most straightforward option.
