Answer Options
C
Box 1: Yes -
Correct Answer
C: Box 1: Yes -
Explanation
Box 1: Yes -
A reservation is where you commit to pay for a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted
price on the resource for the reservation period.
Box 2: No -
There are other factors that influence the cost of a virtual machine such as the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine. You could
have multiple virtual machines with the same 'size' (B2S in this case) but with different virtual hard disk configurations.
Box 3: Yes -
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.
