Exam AZ-104 topic 1 question 18 discussion

D is correct. 2 or 3 is max for a region so answer should be Max.

The platformFaultDomainCount property specifies the number of fault domains to be used by the availability set. A fault domain is a group of underlying hardware resources in a data center that share a common power source and network switch, but are physically separated from each other. By distributing virtual machines across fault domains, you can ensure that no single point of failure can take down all of the virtual machines at once. In Azure, the maximum value for platformFaultDomainCount is 3. This means that an availability set can have up to 3 fault domains. The minimum value for platformFaultDomainCount is 1. To make sure that the ARM template allows for as many VMs as possible to remain accessible in the event of fabric failure or maintenance, you should set the platformFaultDomainCount property to its maximum value of 3. So the correct answer is: D. Max Value

D correct

The platformFaultDomainCount property in an Azure Availability Set specifies the number of fault domains for the virtual machines. Fault domains are essentially physical groupings of resources that provide isolation from hardware failures, power outages, or network issues. Azure allows for a maximum of 3 fault domains in most regions (and up to 2 fault domains in some regions like classic cloud regions). Configuring the maximum value ensures that VMs are distributed across the greatest number of fault domains possible, maximizing their availability during fabric failures or maintenance events. Key Notes: Min Value: Would reduce fault tolerance, as all VMs could end up in a single fault domain. Max Value: Ensures the highest fault tolerance by spreading VMs across all available fault domains. 10 and 30: These values are not valid, as the maximum fault domain count is 3 in Azure (or 2 in specific regions).

Max value

To ensure that as many VMs as possible remain accessible in the event of fabric failure or maintenance, you should configure the platformFaultDomainCount property to the maximum value. Therefore, the correct answer is: D. Max Value This setting helps distribute the VMs across multiple fault domains, reducing the risk of simultaneous failures.

C. Valor mínimo. Ao configurar a propriedade platformFaultDomainCount, escolher o valor mínimo maximiza a resiliência das VMs em um conjunto de disponibilidade. Isso minimiza a quantidade de VMs impactadas em caso de falha de malha ou manutenção. Segundo o Copilot: C. Valor mínimo. Ao configurar a propriedade platformFaultDomainCount, escolher o valor mínimo maximiza a resiliência das VMs em um conjunto de disponibilidade. Isso minimiza a quantidade de VMs impactadas em caso de falha de malha ou manutenção.

D is correct

Each virtual machine in your availability set is assigned an update domain and a fault domain by the underlying Azure platform. Each availability set can be configured with up to 3 fault domains and 20 update domains. However 20 is not in options, the correct answer is D

CORRECT ANSWER D (Max Value) You can set the property properties.platformFaultDomainCount to 1, 2, or 3 (default of 1 if not specified). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-manage-fault-domains

D is correct

i think D

D es correcto

D is correct , Max fault domain is 3 so that option is not available so i will go with max

Each availability set can be configured with up to 3 fault domains and 20 update domains. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/availability-set-overview You can set the property properties.platformFaultDomainCount to 1, 2, or 3 (default of 3 if not specified) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-manage-fault-domains D is the most sensible answer.
