Exam AZ-500 topic 1 question 25 discussion

option A is correct . you can find Unsupported scenarios Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method. Disabling encryption on an OS drive or data drive of a Linux VM when the OS drive is encrypted. Encrypting the OS drive for Linux virtual machine scale sets. Encrypting custom images on Linux VMs. Integration with an on-premises key management system. Azure Files (shared file system). Network File System (NFS). Dynamic volumes. Ephemeral OS disks.

Answer: A, NOT supported for basic tier VMs. Reason: Azure Disk Encryption is not supported for basic tier VMs in Linux, just as with Windows VMs. It is supported for standard tier VMs. OS drive encryption for Linux virtual machine scale sets is not supported, and custom image encryption is also not supported for Linux VMs. These limitations apply specifically to Linux VMs to ensure compatibility and performance.

Option A is correct (It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux?tabs=azcliazure%2Cenableadecli%2Cefacli%2Cadedatacli#restrictions regarding the Information in the upper Link: Azure Disk Encryption does NOT work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: 1. Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method. 2. Encrypting the OS drive for Linux Virtual Machine Scale Sets. 3. Encrypting custom images on Linux VMs. 1. is exactly A (It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs.) 2. permits C (OS drive encryption for Linux virtual machine scale sets is supported.) 3. permits D (Custom image encryption is supported.) the Option A is exactly met

A because ADE is not supported for Basic tier Not D because ADE is not supported on Ubuntu 16

A because ADE is not supported for Basic tier Not D because ADE is not supported on Ubuntu 16

Azure Disk Encryption supports encryption of custom images for Linux VMs.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux Here is a quote from the document: Azure Disk Encryption is supported on both basic and standard tier VMs. The document also says that custom image encryption is supported. Here is a quote from the document: Custom image encryption is supported. The answer is not A Answer is D

A. It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview#:~:text=Azure%20Disk%20Encryption%20is%20also%20not%20available%20on%20Basic%2C%20A%2Dseries%20VMs

It feels like the question is specific towards the version of the Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04-DAILY-LTS, which is not supported by Azure Disk Encryption, based on this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview and according to the link, the lowest version supported is 18.04-DAILY-LTS.

D. Custom image encryption is supported. With Azure Disk Encryption, you can encrypt the OS and data disks of Linux virtual machines. It is supported for both basic tier and standard tier VMs.

A is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux#unsupported-scenarios Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: - Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method.

A. It is NOT supported for basic tier VMs.

On 2-March-2023, I passed AZ-500 with flying colur. Not direct question. Asked about steps to configure Azure Disk Encryption using Keyvault

Answer is A. Linux VMSS is not supported, so answer C is false. "Azure Disk Encryption does not work for the following Linux scenarios, features, and technology: Encrypting basic tier VM or VMs created through the classic VM creation method. Disabling encryption on an OS drive or data drive of a Linux VM when the OS drive is encrypted. Encrypting the OS drive for Linux virtual machine scale sets." see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-linux

Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/disk-encryption-overview

A is correct answer. Azure Disk Encryption is not available on Basic, A-series VMs, or on virtual machines that do not meet these minimum memory requirements: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/modules/host-security/8-disk-encryption
