Operators repeatedly hand-edit production VMs, and replacements behave differently. Which design most directly reduces this drift?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Keep each VM's manual installation process undocumented
B.Build versioned images and distribute approved versions through Azure Compute Gallery
C.Use a mutable latest image tag while leaving manual edits outside source control
D.Rebuild replacements from whichever operator's local instructions are available

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Build versioned images and distribute approved versions through Azure Compute Gallery

A versioned image pipeline and Compute Gallery preserve approved configuration. Undocumented edits remain unrepeatable, a mutable image does not capture production's manual drift, and unversioned local instructions can create inconsistent replacements. Source guide: PDF page(s) 44.
