Exam AZ-104 topic 1 question 5 discussion

The az vm create command. you need to create an Ubuntu Linux VM using a cloud-init script for configuration. For example, az vm create -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVm --image debian --custom-data

In my opinion the correct option is D) "The az vm create command". "New-AzureRmVm" is the legacy way to create Vms using Powershell (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azurerm.compute/new-azurermvm?view=azurermps-6.13.0). "New-AzVM" Is the current way to create VMs using Powershell (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/new-azvm?view=azps-8.3.0). Using Powershell cmdlets I think that it is not currently supported to create a VM passing custom data, like a cloud-init file to accomplish the requested trust for a Custom CA. "Create-AzVM" Does not seem to exist. Using AZ cli or ARM Templates we can accomplish this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/custom-data

To implement a custom deployment that includes adding a particular trusted root certification authority (CA) when creating an Ubuntu Server virtual machine in Azure, you should use the az vm create command (Option D). During the VM creation process, the az vm create command allows you to specify custom scripts and configurations, such as adding a trusted root CA. This flexibility makes it suitable for custom deployments.

Defenitly D

az vm create \ --resource-group myResourceGroupAutomate \ --name myAutomatedVM \ --image Ubuntu2204 \ --admin-username azureuser \ --generate-ssh-keys \ --custom-data cloud-init.txt This is what we get in this link in answer solution https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/tutorial-automate-vm-deployment

New-AzVM = Powershell az vm create = Bash

its explained in the link provided to the solution.

Answer: D Create a VM Use the az vm create command to create a new virtual machine running Ubuntu.

The az vm create command offers a level of customization that the other options don't have including the cloud-init script to customize a Linux VM deployment and add the specific trusted root CA.

In summary: B. The New-AzVM cmdlet is the correct PowerShell command. D. The az vm create command is the correct Azure CLI command. Based on highest voted I'll go with D

Create the Virtual Machine the following code: az vm create \ --resource-group MyResourceGroup \ --name MyVM \ --admin-username azureuser \ --image Ubuntu2204

ans is D

Answer is D. Create-AzVM cmdlet not exist !

I don't understand why Exam Topics don't update the correct answer when the explanations confirm the correcrt answer is D.

Correct answer D ( The az vm create command). A/C: the command does not exist. B: the command "New-AzVM cmdlet" will create a new storage account for boot diagnostics if one does not already exist. If you use the Azure CLI to create your VM with the "az vm create" command, you can optionally generate SSH public and private key files using the "--generate-ssh-keys" option. If you use the Azure PowerShell to create your VM with the "New-AzVM" command, you can optionally generate SSH public and private key files using the "GenerateSshKey" option.

B: The New-AzVM cmdlet is used to create a new virtual machine (VM) in Azure using Azure PowerShell. This cmdlet allows for the creation of a VM with various custom configurations, including specifying the operating system, hardware resources, networking settings, and additional configurations like trusted root certification authorities. When deploying a custom VM that requires specific configurations such as adding a particular trusted root certification authority (CA), the New-AzVM cmdlet provides the flexibility to include these configurations as part of the deployment process. This allows you to tailor the VM to meet your specific requirements, ensuring that it meets your organization's security and operational needs. Therefore, when you need to implement a custom deployment that includes adding a particular trusted root certification authority (CA), using the New-AzVM cmdlet is the appropriate choice for creating the virtual machine in your company's Azure subscription.

D is correct
