Your company has a main office and two branch offices. Each office connects directly to the internet. The router in each branch office is configured as an endpoint for the following VPNs:

A VPN connection to the main office

A site-to-site VPN to Azure

The routers in each branch office have the Quality of Service (QoS) rules shown in the following table.



Users in the branch office report slow responses and connection errors when they attempt to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop resources.

You need to modify the QoS rules on the branch office routers to improve Azure Virtual Desktop performance.

For which rule should you increase the bandwidth allocation?

  1. Rule2
  2. Rule3
  3. Rule4
  4. Rule1

Answer(s): B



You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop. The deployment will use existing virtual machines.

You create a Azure Virtual Desktop host pool.

You need to ensure that you can add the virtual machines to the host pool.

What should you do first?

  1. Register the Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization provider.
  2. Generate a registration key.
  3. Run the Invoke-AzVMRunCommand cmdlet.
  4. Create a role assignment.

Answer(s): B

You are designing an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.

You identify the network latency between the locations where users reside and the planned deployment.

What should you use to identify the best Azure region to deploy the host pool?

  1. Azure Traffic Manager
  2. Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator
  3. Azure Monitor for Azure Virtual Desktop
  4. Azure Advisor

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool1 in the East US region.

You have a storage account named storage1 that contains FSLogix profile containers. In the East US region, you have a shared image gallery named SIG1 that contains a virtual machine image named Image1. Image1 is used to create new session hosts in Pool1.

You plan to deploy a new Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool2 to the South India region.

You need to implement a session host deployment solution for Pool2 that meets the following requirements:

Image1 must replicate in the South India region.

The session hosts in Pool2 must be based on Image1.

Changes to Image1 must be available in the South India and East US regions.

What should you include in the solution?

  1. Create a new shared image gallery named SIG2 in the South India region. Upload a copy of Image1 to SIG2.
  2. Create a new Azure Storage account named storage2 in the South India region. Copy Image1 to a shared folder in storage2.
  3. From SIG1, update the replication for the latest image version of Image1.
  4. Configure geo-redundant storage (GRS) replication for storage1. Copy the VHD file of Image1 to the FSLogix profile container.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Plan for image update and management
An Azure Compute Gallery simplifies custom image sharing across your organization. Custom images are like marketplace images, but you create them yourself. Custom images can be used to bootstrap deployment tasks like preloading applications, application configurations, and other OS configurations.

Replication
Azure Compute Gallery also allows you to replicate your images to other Azure regions automatically. Each shared Image version can be replicated to different regions depending on what makes sense for your organization. One example is to always replicate the latest image in multi-regions while all older versions are only available in one region to save on storage costs for Azure Compute Gallery versions.
The regions an Azure Compute Gallery version is replicated to can be updated after creation time. The time it takes to replicate to different regions depends on the amount of data being copied and the number of regions the version is replicated to.
While the replication is happening, you can view the status of replication per region.
Once the image replication is complete in a region, you can then deploy a VM or scale-set using that image version in the region.
