Exam AZ-140 topic 2 question 7 discussion

Image 1 only, as the image should be available in the region where VMs are hosted

E. Nobody has offered any links supporting the claims that you must use images from the same location of the VM you want to deploy. "The Azure Compute Gallery lets you share custom VM images and application packages with others in your organization, within or across regions, within a tenant." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/create-gallery

it's E, there is no proof that it's bound on region

or your Azure Virtual Desktop deployment in the West US location, you can use images that are located in West US and are either generalized or specialized. Based on the table: Image1 (West US, Generalized) Image2 (West US, Specialized) Therefore, the correct answer is D. Image1 and Image2 only. Yes, even if Image2 is specialized, it can still be used for the session hosts in your Azure Virtual Desktop deployment. Both generalized and specialized images located in the West US region are suitable for your deployment. So, the correct answer remains D. Image1 and Image2 only. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/vm-specialized-image-version

Given that the host pool is located in West US and the host pool type is personal, you can use images that are in the same region (West US) and are in a generalized state. Specialized images are typically used for specific scenarios and might not be suitable for a personal host pool. A. Image1 only

Image 1 only. It has to be from the same Region and Generalized.

Answer A is correct. Do the lab, when trying to use an image from another region it says "the selected image is not available in your location". If loading a specialized image it says: "image must be generalized".

A is correct Image 1 Only. Answered by ChatGPT

E. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/vm-image-blog-post/

"The image can be in a different region as long as it has replicas in the same region as your Batch account." No replica's mentioned so voting A https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-sig-images#prepare-a-shared-image

E is correct, as then question doesn't clarify where the VMs are located, only the Hostpool is mentioned.

A. Image1 only

When spinning up a pool, you can only use images in the same region. For example you can't create a VM in US east if the image is in US East 2. Its easy to replicate the imiges through. NOW, even though the pool might be in region A, you can deploy session hosts in other regions, assuming the image is replicated there. This would not be ideal untless they were located geographically close as AVD does not have any type of affinity.

A is correct. The image must be on the same region where you plan to deploy the pool. Otherwise you don't even find the image gallery...

not tested. but pretty sure its A. it needs to be generalized and in same region. if you want to use the other generalized image you should turn on replication

ChatGPT says this: While it is possible to set up Azure Virtual Desktop deployments where the master image and session hosts are in different regions, doing so might introduce additional network latency and potential performance issues. If you have specific requirements that necessitate having resources in different regions, you should carefully consider the potential impact on user experience and performance.

Asnwer is correct... it should be only Generalized images. Host pool and VMs doesnt need to be in the same region. Tested now and its correct, from azure portal " You can choose a different region for virtual machines than the host pool, especially if you want metadata to be stored in a particular geography but you want the virtual machines closer to the user"
