Suggested Answer:
Box 1: 2 -
There are 10 update domains. The 14 VMs are shared across the 10 update domains so four update domains will have two VMs and six update domains will have one VM. Only one update domain is rebooted at a time. Therefore, a maximum of two VMs will be offline.

Box 2: 7 -
There are 2 fault domains. The 14 VMs are shared across the 2 fault domains, so 7 VMs in each fault domain. A rack failure will affect one fault domain so 7 VMs will be offline.

During planned maintenance or updates in Azure, only one Update Domain is updated at a time, regardless of how many Update Domains (UDs) you have, whether it's 5, 10, 100, or any number of UDs. for FD, divide the number of VM's by Fault domain.

Passed the exam today. This Q appeared. the exam had 53 Q's in total had 2 case study type Q's where you cannot come back for a review. around 30-35% of questions appeared as is from the free section of ET (First 28 pages). I do have a consolidated PDF of 288 Q's from these pages, send me a DM if you need it. ET is certainly helpful but I would not completely rely on it alone.

1) "2" 2) "7" Explanation: We have 14 VM's and 10 Update Domains. this means that 6 VM's will each be in its isolated Update Domain and 8 VM's will share a Update Domain with another VM. UpdateDomain1: 2 VM's UpdateDomain2: 2 VM's UpdateDomain3: 2 VM's UpdateDomain4: 2 VM's UpdateDomain5: 1 VM's UpdateDomain6: 1 VM's UpdateDomain7: 1 VM's UpdateDomain8: 1 VM's UpdateDomain9: 1 VM's UpdateDomain10: 1 VM's This means that when a scheduled update occurs at maximum 2 VM's will be down. We also have 2 Fault Domains, which means that each Fault Domain will have 7 VM's inside. When a disaster occurs, at most 7 VM's will be impacted.

I didn't have a clear idea about update domains until I found Saravana12g' Comment, thank you : UD1=VM1 and VM11 UD2=VM2 and VM12 UD3=VM3 and VM13 UD4=VM4 and VM14 UD5=VM5 UD6=VM6 UD7=VM7 UD8=VM8 UD9=VM9 UD10=VM10 4 UD's are having 2 VM's each 6 UD's are having 1 VM's each => Only one update domain is rebooted at a time. Therefore, a maximum of two VMs will be offline and a minimum of 1 VM will be offline.
