Question

You are deploying four identical web-tier VMs into a single availability set in an Azure region that does not support availability zones. The application must remain available during both unplanned hardware failures and planned Azure host maintenance. When you create the availability set, which configuration ensures the VMs are distributed to protect against both types of events?

Accepted Answer

Configure multiple fault domains and multiple update domains, and place all four VMs in the same availability set.

Answer

Configure a single fault domain and a single update domain so all VMs share the same physical rack.

Answer

Place each VM in its own separate availability set to isolate failures.

Answer

Deploy the VMs across three availability zones instead of an availability set.
