az-104 Practice Question 1727
Exam: az-104
Domain: Deploy and manage Azure compute resources
Topic: Create and configure virtual machines
Difficulty: medium
Contoso Ltd needs to optimize the performance of their virtual machines running a high I/O workload. They have several options available for VM sizing. Which size should you recommend to ensure optimal performance for this workload?
Answer Options
A
Standard DS v5 series
B
F series
C
D series
D
G series
Correct Answer
B: F series
Explanation
For high I/O workloads, the F series VMs are recommended due to their optimized storage and network capabilities. Option B is correct because F series VMs are designed for high I/O workloads and provide the best performance for such tasks. Option A is incorrect as it refers to standard sizes which may not have the necessary I/O performance. Option C is incorrect as it suggests using a D series VM, which is more suitable for compute-intensive workloads rather than I/O. Option D is incorrect as it suggests using a G series VM, which is better suited for GPU-accelerated workloads.
