[All AZ-104 Questions]

You plan to move a distributed on-premises app named App1 to an Azure subscription.

After the planned move, App1 will be hosted on several Azure virtual machines.

You need to ensure that App1 always runs on at least eight virtual machines during planned Azure maintenance.

What should you create?

Wait, can we really guarantee 8 VMs during maintenance?

I feel like option D with the scale set might be overkill, but I can't recall if we need that many instances to meet the requirement.

I practiced a similar question where we had to keep VMs running during updates, and I think having more update domains is key.

I remember something about scale sets being good for auto-scaling, but I'm not sure if they guarantee the number of VMs during maintenance.

I think we need to ensure that the app stays up during maintenance, so maybe an Availability Set would be the right choice?

Ah, this is a good one. I think a Virtual Machine Scale Set is the way to go, as it will automatically scale up and down to maintain the minimum 8 VM requirement during maintenance. Time to brush up on how to configure that in Azure.

I'm a bit unsure about the difference between Availability Sets and Virtual Machine Scale Sets. I'll need to review the documentation to make sure I understand the pros and cons of each option for this scenario.

Virtual machine scale sets seem like the obvious choice here to meet the 8 VM requirement. I'll need to make sure I set the right instance count and understand how scale sets handle maintenance.

Okay, let's see here. The question is asking about ensuring the app runs on at least 8 VMs during Azure maintenance. I'm thinking a Virtual Machine Scale Set might be the way to go, but I'll need to double-check the details.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the Azure infrastructure options carefully to ensure the app has the right level of redundancy and availability.

I agree with you, the magic 8-ball is always right. B is the correct answer to ensure App1 runs on at least eight virtual machines during maintenance.

I would go with B, because Availability Sets ensure that your virtual machines are distributed across multiple fault and update domains for high availability.

I think the answer is A, because virtual machine scale sets can automatically adjust the number of instances based on demand.

D is tempting, but I'm not sure a 12-instance scale set is necessary. Availability Sets seem more appropriate for this scenario.
