During my training with MS, i had this question but solution B was not given there so in that case this is the solution below: You are going to deploy multiple Virtual machines having Windows Server Operating System by using Azure Resource Manager Template. While completing the Virtual machines deployment you need to make sure that NGINX should be available on all the Virtual machines. What should you do? Answer: Azure Custom Script Extension Explanation A Custom Script Extension(CSE) can be used to automatically launch and execute virtual machine customization tasks post configuration. Your script extension may perform simple tasks such as stopping the virtual machine or installing a software component. However, the script could be more complex and perform a series of tasks.
