Let's break down why the other options are not required for initial deployment:
B. Deploy and configure Microsoft Enterprise Edge (MSEE) appliances: MSEE appliances are typically used for hybrid cloud connectivity scenarios and not strictly mandatory for deploying a basic Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
C. Create a support request with VMware Support to create a private cloud: While VMware provides support for Azure VMware Solutions, creating the private cloud itself happens through Azure portal or Azure CLI, not requiring direct involvement from VMware Support.
E. Deploy and Configure Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute: ExpressRoute allows private connections to Azure, but it's not essential for initial deployment. You can utilize the public internet for initial configuration and later establish ExpressRoute for enhanced security or performance.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-vmware/plan-private-cloud-deployment#identify-the-subscription
--> Identify the Azure subscription, resource group, region, and resource name
(The subscription must be associated with a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA), a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Azure plan, or a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA)
and then:
Identify the size hosts and determine the number of clusters and hosts
--> Request a host quota for an eligible Azure plan
Identify the /22 CIDR IP segment for private cloud management
Identify a single network segment
Define the virtual network gateway
Define VMware HCX network segments

Get AV36, AV36P, or AV52, and AV64 quota approval from Microsoft with a minimum of three nodes each.
Each Azure VMware Solution environment is its own ExpressRoute region (its own virtual MSEE device), which lets you connect Global Reach to the 'local' peering location. It allows you to connect multiple Azure VMware Solution instances in one region to the same peering location.
Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is a service provided by Microsoft in partnership with VMware that enables users to run VMware workloads natively on Azure. To set up an Azure VMware Solution instance:
A. Before deploying the Azure VMware Solution private cloud, a host quota is required. The user must create a support request with Microsoft Azure Support to increase the quota for Azure VMware Solution hosts in the chosen region.
E. Azure VMware Solution requires an ExpressRoute circuit to connect to the on-premises network. ExpressRoute provides a dedicated and private connection between the user's on-premises infrastructure and Azure.
The other options listed are not required for the deployment of an Azure VMware Solution instance.
It's D and E. You request a host quota during your planning phase, the MSEE devices are associated with the Azure ExpressRoute configuration, and you don't Create a support request with VMware.
I think the model answer AD is correct, see this Microsoft KB on setting up Azure VMware solution
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-vmware/plan-private-cloud-deployment#request-a-host-quota
Sorry, should till have been DE:)
D: Register the Microsoft.AVS resource provider = Associate the subscription with a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.
E: Connect to a new or existing ExpressRoute virtual network gateway = Deploy and Configure Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute.
BD :) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-vmware/deploy-azure-vmware-solution?tabs=azure-portal
Register the resource provider and create a private cloud
Connect to a new or existing ExpressRoute virtual network gateway
Validate the network connect
D: Register the Microsoft.AVS resource provider = Associate the subscription with a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.
B: Connect to a new or existing ExpressRoute virtual network gateway = Deploy and configure Microsoft Enterprise Edge (MSEE) appliances.
