Click to expand each objective. To connect to the Azure portal, type https://portal.azure.com in the browser address bar.

When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the `˜Next' button.
Note that you cannot return to the lab once you click the `˜Next' button. Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam.

Overview -
The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e.g., copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design.
Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task.
Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided.
Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab.

To start the lab -
You may start the lab by clicking the Next button.

Availability Set should be selected for each VM creation, in order to provide 99.95% SLA https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

1. Availability Set should be used for the SLA 99.95% requirement. 2. Note AS must be created before the 2x VMs. 3. When creating the 2X VMs, RG & region must match the AS.

As per Microsoft document, For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Standard SSD Managed Disks for Operating System Disk and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 99.5%. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

But as 99.95% is asked (and not 99.5%), an availability set is required "For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set or in the same Dedicated Host Group, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.95% of the time."

If VM1003a and VM1003b are different VM's (not only two instances of the same) the answer is correct.

Isn't it the other way round? IF they are two instances of the same and we put them in an Availability Set, THEN we have 99.95 % availability? Question is about "availability", it does not mention if for single VM or for both.
