Exam AZ-140 topic 15 question 1 discussion

Azure Automation is the correct answer

Answer D is correct. Ensure that Pool1 virtual machines only run during business hours.

A is correct D (Azure Automation) is not correct because it is a general-purpose tool that requires additional setup and is not specific to Azure Virtual Desktop. A (Azure Virtual Desktop automation task) is correct because it is specifically designed for managing and automating tasks within Azure Virtual Desktop host pools, making it the most efficient and straightforward solution.

Answer is D because the requirement for Pool1 is "Ensure that the Pool1 virtual machines only run during business hours." This can only be completed with Azure Automation.

D is right.

D is right Answer

I was wrong correct answer is D. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-solution-vm-management-config#schedule "This scenario is the default configuration when you first deploy Start/Stop VMs during off-hours. For example, you can configure the feature to stop all VMs across a subscription when you leave work in the evening, and start them in the morning when you are back in the office."

D is correct answer. A is not a valid solution for VM's. B would only shutdown VMs outside working hours but not restart them. C does nothing other than show service health.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/create-automation-tasks-azure-resources A is correct Answer, this can be done via D but more A is simpler approach. B is wrong as you cannot turn on the VM, you can only shutdown VM.

B. Virtual machine auto-shutdown Technical requirements has the following sentence: Ensure that the Pool1 virtual machines only run during business hours. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-solution-vm-management-config#schedule "This scenario is the default configuration when you first deploy Start/Stop VMs during off-hours. For example, you can configure the feature to stop all VMs across a subscription when you leave work in the evening, and start them in the morning when you are back in the office."

D is the answer

Agreed, Auto Task is for VMs and other resources. NOT for Azure Virtual Desktop :) I've seen Auto Task in the few instances before. lol

Agreed, there is no task in AVD for this
