Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 22 discussion

The correct answer should be Azure DevTest Labs.

Answer correct. It is not Microsoft Managed Desktop. Welcome to Microsoft Managed Desktop Microsoft Managed Desktop brings together Microsoft 365 Enterprise, cloud-based device management by Microsoft, and security monitoring, enabling you to free your IT team to focus on core business needs. Currently, the Microsoft Managed Desktop service is offered only by invitation. Learn more on Microsoft docs or contact your Microsoft account manager. If you’re unfamiliar with Microsoft Managed Desktop, learn more about the service.

Microsoft managed Dekstop will not going to be great option cause we will also be using the linux OS to create VMs

No, this is a good example to use Azure DevTest Labs

No Microsoft Managed Desktop is designed for managing Windows 10/11 devices, not for deploying and removing custom virtual machines with Windows Server 2016 or Ubuntu Linux. A more suitable Azure service would be Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets or Azure Automation to streamline the deployment and removal process with minimal administrative effort.

Azure DevTest Labs.

Microsoft Managed Desktop is not relevant to managing Azure VMs, the given solution does not meet the goal.

Creating VMs usually should be an IaaS, Microsoft Managed Desktop is a SaaS

The correct answer should be Azure DevTest Labs.

Microsoft Managed Desktop is a cloud based device management system that manages Microsoft 365 suite.

The answer is Azure Resource Manager Template

The solution does not meet the goal. Microsoft Managed Desktop is a service designed for managing Windows 10/11 devices, not for deploying and managing virtual machines (VMs) on Azure. It primarily focuses on providing a managed, secure desktop environment for end-user devices rather than handling the dynamic deployment of VMs. For the scenario described, where a large number of custom VMs are deployed and removed on a weekly basis, a more appropriate Azure service would be Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets or Azure DevTest Labs. These services can automate the deployment and management of VMs, making it easier to scale up and down as needed, thereby reducing administrative effort.

B. No Microsoft Managed Desktop is a service designed for managing and securing Windows 10 devices. It provides services like device management, security updates, and support for Windows desktops but does not handle the creation and management of virtual machines. For managing a large number of virtual machines that are frequently deployed and removed, you would typically use: Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets: These allow you to manage and scale a set of virtual machines easily, automating deployment and scaling tasks. Azure Automation: This service can automate repetitive tasks, such as creating and deleting virtual machines based on schedules or triggers. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates: Define and deploy virtual machines in a consistent manner using infrastructure-as-code practices. Therefore, recommending Microsoft Managed Desktop does not address the needs for managing and automating virtual machine lifecycle tasks. The correct answer is B. No.

To reduce administrative effort for deploying and removing virtual machines on a large scale, you would typically use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions such as Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Azure Automation. These tools allow you to define the desired state of your infrastructure in code, enabling automated deployment, scaling, and management of resources in Azure. Hence the Answer is B

The correct Answer should be Azure Virtual Desktop

gpt4 said Azure DevOps, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), Azure Automation can do that
