I feel like 2 is safe. Each server needs its own.

But what if there's a failure? Better to have 2.

No way, it's 2. One for each host.

I think it's 1. Just one provider for all VMs.

I'm going with B. 2 providers, one for each Hyper-V host. Simple as that.

Haha, who needs 7 providers? That's overkill. The answer is clearly B.

Definitely B. You have two Hyper-V hosts, so you need to install the provider on both of them.

This question feels familiar. I think I practiced one like this where we had to consider the number of VMs and hosts. Could it be five?

I think we only need to install one provider for the entire setup, right? Since it's for both servers?

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think the minimum number of providers I should install is 2. That way, I can cover both Hyper-V hosts and all the VMs.

I'm pretty sure the answer is 2 providers. Since there are two Hyper-V hosts, I'll need to install one provider on each host to replicate all the VMs.

Okay, let me think this through. I have two Hyper-V hosts, and I need to replicate all the VMs to Azure. So I'll need to install one provider on each host, which would be a total of 2 providers.
