Answer Options
Correct Answer
No explicit options provided (or visual interactive question).
Explanation
When a virtual machine is stopped (deallocated), the virtual machine is unloaded/dismounted from the physical server in Azure. In this state,
you are not charged for the virtual machine itself. However, you are still charged for the storage costs of the virtual hard disks attached to the
virtual machine.
If the virtual machine is stopped but not deallocated (this happens if you shut down the virtual machine from the operating system of the virtual
machine), the virtual machine is still mounted on the physical server in Azure and you are charged for the virtual machine itself as well as the
storage costs. To ensure that a virtual machine is 'stopped (deallocated)', you need to stop the virtual machine in the Azure portal.
