Practice question 159 of 506 · medium

A region lacks availability-zone support. Two application VMs must reduce correlated rack/power and planned-maintenance failures. Which placement should be selected at deployment?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Two VMs intentionally assigned to the same fault/update domain
  2. B.Two static private IP addresses as the fault-isolation mechanism
  3. C.Only ZRS for their disks, with no VM placement strategy
  4. D.An availability set with appropriate fault and update domains
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • An availability set with appropriate fault and update domains

An availability set distributes the VMs across infrastructure and maintenance groups. Deliberate co-placement increases shared failure exposure. Disk ZRS does not supply VM placement or running application instances. Static IP allocation stabilizes addresses rather than isolating hardware.
