Exam AZ-104 topic 4 question 43 discussion

Correct Answer: A Placement Groups is a capability to achieve co-location of your Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) resources and low network latency among them, for improved application performance. Azure proximity placement groups represent a new logical grouping capability for your Azure Virtual Machines, which in turn is used as a deployment constraint when selecting where to place your virtual machines. In fact, when you assign your virtual machines to a proximity placement group, the virtual machines are placed in the same data center, resulting in lower and deterministic latency for your applications. The VMSS should share the same region, even it should be the same zone as proximity groups are located in the same data center. Accordingly, it should be proximity 2 only. Reference: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-proximity-placement-groups

This should be proximity 1 only, proximity 2 is not in the same region as the VMSS

A is corerct

Correct answer is C I have tried this practically. It does not allow me to select VMSS in another region. Basically VMSS and PPG should be in same region. Resource groups are immaterial Azure below message is useful here "Proximity placement groups allow you to group Azure resources physically closer together in the same region."

For a proximity placement group to effectively place resources close to each other, they should be in the same region. Since both VMSS1 and Proximity2 are in Australia Central, using Proximity2 ensures that VMSS1 benefits from the proximity placement group in the same region, leading to potential performance improvements and reduced latency.

C is correct

When I tried to add the VM or VMSS in the proximity placement group it shows "You must select a group in region ""same as VM/VMSS region" , Then that mean it should be Proximity2 only right ?

Internet says the difficulty level of Az-104 is intermediate ? Who on their right mind can say that ? Or am I getting too old for this ? - On an average, it takes around 5 mins per question for ET. This includes, answering and going through all discussions and sometimes test it. So, for 540 questions ET itself will take around 50 hours. - MS learning is around 20 hours, but in realty it will also take around 50 hours, if you have the habit of taking notes like me. - If you wish to go for some additional training, example like Pluralsight like I did, it adds another 40 hours. Each of the above training materials covers a lot of non-overlapping material. So imagine, the humongous amount of data that you need to memorize which you learned through these trainings across the vast syllabus.

Can someone with contributor access please mail the dumps on my mail : [email protected], please this is urgent I need to give exam on 8th oct!!!! Thankyou in advance

On the exam (31/07/23 )

This question was in exam on 29th July 2023

Is proximity group is I'm syllabus

I used free version access for this site and it helped me pass the exam. Some questions that I had on the exams, I took the exam more than once, are not available under the free tier access, but 80% of the questions came from here. I do recommend investing a bit of money and getting full access to this site. I didn't memorise answers but analysed them and studied as Microsoft does tweak them a bit. This Q was on the exam.

Simular question was on todays exam. (7th April 2023)

On the Exam 3/29/23.

proximity questions were definitly on 2nd test

Correct Answer is A
