You plan to run an image rendering workload in Azure. The workload uses parallel compute processes.
What is the best service to use to run the workload? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

  • A. an Azure virtual machine scale set
  • B. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  • C. Azure Batch
  • D. Azure Container Service

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Azure Batch works well with intrinsically parallel (also known as "embarrassingly parallel") workloads. Intrinsically parallel workloads are those where the applications can run independently, and each instance completes part of the work. When the applications are executing, they might access some common data, but they do not communicate with other instances of the application. Intrinsically parallel workloads can therefore run at a large scale, determined by the amount of compute resources available to run applications simultaneously.

But the question says "More than one answer choice may achieve the goal", so why not Azure Batch and VMSS?
