SIMULATION -
Click to expand each objective. To connect to the Azure portal, type https://portal.azure.com in the browser address bar.






When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the "˜Next' button.
Note that you cannot return to the lab once you click the "˜Next' button. Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam.

Overview -
The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e.g., copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design.
Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task.
Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided.
Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab.

To start the lab -
You may start the lab by clicking the Next button.
You need to deploy two Azure virtual machines named VM1003a and VM1003b based on an Ubuntu Server image. The deployment must meet the following requirements:
- Provide a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent availability
- Use managed disks
What should you do from the Azure portal?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: See solution below.
Step 1: Open the Azure portal.
Step 2: On the left menu, select All resources. You can sort the resources by Type to easily find your images.
Step 3: Select the image you want to use from the list. The image Overview page opens.
Step 4: Select Create VM from the menu.
Step 5: Enter the virtual machine information. Select VM1003a as the name for the first Virtual machine.The user name and password entered here will be used to log in to the virtual machine. When complete, select OK. You can create the new VM in an existing resource group, or choose Create new to create a new resource group to store the VM.
Step 6: Select a size for the VM. To see more sizes, select View all or change the Supported disk type filter.
Step 7: Under Settings, make changes as necessary and select OK.
Step 8: On the summary page, you should see your image name listed as a Private image. Select Ok to start the virtual machine deployment.
Repeat the procedure for the second VM and name it VM1003b.

Additional to Step 5: Under Availibility options select Availibility Set (next field you have to create a new as if not any present), because of the requirement ("- Provide a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent availability"). Availibility Set has a SLA of 99.95%. Avalibility zone of 2 even 99.99%. But you need 99.95% as stated in the requirement. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_8/ Next tab "Disks" open the advanced drop down menu and ensure that "use managed disks" is selected to "Yes"

Agree, availability set should be configured to achieve 99.95% SLA and both VMs should be in the same availability set. See section "Configure multiple virtual machines in an availability set for redundancy" from the reference. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/manage-availability

I agree. Before this SLA was updated it would have been an availability set, but given this SLA Just creating both virtual machines with managed SSD disks will accomplish the 99.95 up time So the given answer is on track, just need to make sure you select Standard SSD for disk type

As of July 2020, there's no need to create Availability Set to get the SLA of 99.5%. Just choose a Standard SSD: "For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Standard SSD Managed Disks for Operating System Disk and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 99.5%." - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

The question here says 99.95% SLA, hence two or more instances of Virtual machine has to be deployed in the same availability set or host group to achieve that SLA. "For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set or in the same Dedicated Host Group, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.95% of the time." https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/virtual-machines/v1_9/

I think you just need to deploy the 2 VMs in the same AV Set.... For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed across two or more Availability Zones in the same Azure region, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.99% of the time. For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set or in the same Dedicated Host Group, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.95% of the time. For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Premium SSD or Ultra Disk for all Operating System Disks and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 99.9%. For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Standard SSD Managed Disks for Operating System Disk and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 99.5%. For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Standard HDD Managed Disks for Operating System Disks and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity of at least 95%.

Incomplete solution as you can't get 99.95% SLA without a load balancer in front of the 2 VMs in the same Availability Set: 1. Create an Availability Set for 99.95% (can't create after VM has been created) 2. Create the 2 VMs in the same region and subnet as the avset and specify: a. avail option=Availability Set, select the AVSET b. use Premium SSD as managed disk (default) c. don't specify public IP 3. Create a Standard SKU load balancer in the same region and specify the 2 VMs in the avset as the backpool.

Go to Virtual Machines, +New or create, Select Ubuntu Image, Select Size, Create a new availability set with (2,3 or any domains) to get 99.95% availability. Go to create a new VM, Ubuntu Image, Add it to the same availability set that you created above, select size, save.
