Practice question 70 of 180 · medium

An architect must validate a shared desktop response-time target before choosing a VM size. Which pilot activities provide useful evidence?

Select all that apply. Every correct option and no extras are required for credit in the app.

  1. A.Test one idle session and multiply its CPU usage by the total licensed user count.
  2. B.Measure sign-in bursts and profile/storage latency as well as steady-state host performance.
  3. C.Run representative applications with the expected peak concurrent user mix.
  4. D.Use only the largest available VM size as evidence that all response targets will be met.

✓ Correct answers

  • Measure sign-in bursts and profile/storage latency as well as steady-state host performance.
  • Run representative applications with the expected peak concurrent user mix.

Measure the actual workload, concurrency and user experience across steady-state and burst periods. Use those results to set capacity and limits. Option explanations: A. Test one idle session and multiply its CPU usage by the total licensed user count.: An idle sample and assigned-user count do not represent concurrent demand or contention. B. Measure sign-in bursts and profile/storage latency as well as steady-state host performance.: Transient sign-in and external dependencies can dominate the user experience. C. Run representative applications with the expected peak concurrent user mix.: Realistic concurrent workload exposes CPU, memory and application demand. D. Use only the largest available VM size as evidence that all response targets will be met.: Size alone does not prove application, storage and connection performance.
