Exam AZ-140 topic 2 question 8 discussion

All Wrong we talking about an Image from a Shared Image Galleries https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/shared-image-galleries The Image which is shown on the screenshot is on the Region East US Anwser is: No = Location is on West Europe Yes = Will work but i am not happy about it because the Image is a Specialized which can make problems No = Location is West US

I have tested this today and answer is NO Yes NO

NYN https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/shared-image-galleries

Correct

"Can I create the gallery in a different location than the one for the image definition and image version? Yes, it's possible. But, as a best practice, we encourage you to keep the resource group, gallery, image definition, and image version in the same location." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/shared-image-galleries?source=recommendations&tabs=azure-cli#can-i-create-the-gallery-in-a-different-location-than-the-one-for-the-image-definition-and-image-version

I have tested this scenario. Answer is Yes Yes Yes. They are asking if you can make an Image version en store it in the Image definition and Azure Compute Gallery. Iwas perfectly able to do so.

NYN. Tested in the lab. the source VM must be at the same location as the version of image.

NYY Tested in the lab exactly like this in the question, and the result is NYY. Do the test exactly the same, without changing a "comma", and you will see that this is the correct result.

It's YYY tested. The Image Version has to reside in the same region of the captured VM and in the same resource group of the Image Definition and Azure Compute gallery. You can have the Azure Compute Gallery, Image Definition and Image Version all in different region. The question is about creating an image not using it to deploy AVD so you can create a specialized one

Careful!!!. We can only use Generalized images. In the link that examtopics places, it mentions Generalizations, in the question it defines it as specialized. Therefore it should be NNN

Tested in a LAB with the exact same setup and I am able to create an Image Definition from the 3 VMs from the different regions. So Yes, Yes and Yes.

NYN. VM2 Only. "Please ensure the managed image that you are using as the base image to create the image version is in the same location as the location in which you intend to create the image version." - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/shared-image-galleries?source=recommendations&tabs=azure-cli#how-do-i-specify-the-source-region-while-creating-the-image-version

It should be Y-Y-Y. Explanation: 2nd Screenshot shows that Region of the SIG is East US and you can only pull the source image from the same region you specified, right? Yes, BUT, if you click through the assistant in Azure Portal you later on specify the SOURCE REGION OF YOUR SOURCE DISK and that one can be different from the region of the SIG itself. That region is also not listed in the summary. So you can choose either version and choose any disk (/snapshot) as a source for your specialized image.

Answer is 100% YYN

No,No,No Notice that "Operating system state" of the Image definition is "Specialized". Operating system disk can be used for Generalized images. A Specialized image version can be created only through snapshots of the VM. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/shared-image-gallery-specialized-preview/

No Yes No

NYN: ...VM that is either generalized or specialized...(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/image-version?tabs=portal) ...Please check source exists, and is in the same region as gallery image version being created...(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting-shared-images)
