Topic 08 Practice Test 2 covers Azure Virtual Machines for Microsoft Azure Administrator AZ-104 and maps to the objective: Create and configure virtual machines. For broader exam preparation, review the Microsoft AZ-104 Exam Dumps. Every option includes focused technical reasoning explaining both the Azure concept and its fit to the scenario.
Question 1
Wingtip Toys needs a VM size that is not listed among the current cluster resize options. What should the administrator do before applying the new size? Choose ONE.
- Deallocate the VM, resize it, and then start it again
- Resize the VM while it is running, accepting the required reboot
- Choose an Azure VM size that meets the workload requirements
- Deploy the workload with an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because For Wingtip Toys, the required behavior is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. When the requested VM size is not available on the current cluster, the VM must be deallocated so Azure can place it on hardware that supports the new size before restart. That is why this option fits.
Incorrect Answers
Answer B is incorrect because If the requested size is available on the current hardware cluster, Azure can resize the VM without first deallocating it, although the operation restarts the VM. That feature is valid Azure functionality, but The requirement for Wingtip Toys is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Answer C is incorrect because For Wingtip Toys, the required behavior is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. The VM size determines compute resources and supported capabilities such as vCPU count, memory, disk and network limits, so the selected SKU must satisfy workload and regional availability needs. That is not the behavior this scenario calls for.
Answer D is incorrect because Virtual Machine Scale Sets centrally create and manage groups of VM instances and support high availability, consistent configuration, and horizontal scaling across demand changes. That does not line up with the stated constraint for Wingtip Toys: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Question 2
- Datum attempts to resize a VM but the target SKU cannot be allocated on the present hardware cluster. Which procedure is required? Choose ONE.
- Resize the VM while it is running, accepting the required reboot
- Deallocate the VM, resize it, and then start it again
- Choose an Azure VM size that meets the workload requirements
- Deploy the workload with an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because When the requested VM size is not available on the current cluster, the VM must be deallocated so Azure can place it on hardware that supports the new size before restart. The technical fit for A. Datum is direct because the requirement is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Incorrect Answers
Answer A is incorrect because For A. Datum, the deciding constraint is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. If the requested size is available on the current hardware cluster, Azure can resize the VM without first deallocating it, although the operation restarts the VM. This solves a different operational need.
Answer C is incorrect because The VM size determines compute resources and supported capabilities such as vCPU count, memory, disk and network limits, so the selected SKU must satisfy workload and regional availability needs. Even though the feature can be useful, it does not provide The required outcome for A. Datum: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Answer D is incorrect because The A. Datum scenario is testing this requirement: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. Virtual Machine Scale Sets centrally create and manage groups of VM instances and support high availability, consistent configuration, and horizontal scaling across demand changes. This option does not provide that result.
Question 3
Fourth Coffee must move a VM to a size family unavailable on its current host cluster. What is the correct resize workflow? Choose ONE.
- Resize the VM while it is running, accepting the required reboot
- Choose an Azure VM size that meets the workload requirements
- Deallocate the VM, resize it, and then start it again
- Deploy the workload with an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
Correct Answer: C
Correct Answer
Answer C is correct because When the requested VM size is not available on the current cluster, the VM must be deallocated so Azure can place it on hardware that supports the new size before restart. For Fourth Coffee, that directly matches the stated requirement: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Incorrect Answers
Answer A is incorrect because If the requested size is available on the current hardware cluster, Azure can resize the VM without first deallocating it, although the operation restarts the VM. It misses the key condition in the Fourth Coffee case: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Answer B is incorrect because Fourth Coffee must satisfy this condition: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. The VM size determines compute resources and supported capabilities such as vCPU count, memory, disk and network limits, so the selected SKU must satisfy workload and regional availability needs. This option is aimed at another design goal.
Answer D is incorrect because Virtual Machine Scale Sets centrally create and manage groups of VM instances and support high availability, consistent configuration, and horizontal scaling across demand changes. Fourth Coffee needs a different capability; the required result is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware.
Question 4
Lucerne Publishing finds that its requested size is supported in the region but not on the VM current cluster. Which step enables Azure to relocate it for the resize? Choose ONE.
- Resize the VM while it is running, accepting the required reboot
- Choose an Azure VM size that meets the workload requirements
- Deploy the workload with an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
- Deallocate the VM, resize it, and then start it again
Correct Answer: D
Correct Answer
Answer D is correct because The required outcome for Lucerne Publishing is: the requested VM size is unavailable on the current cluster so Azure must re-place the VM on compatible hardware. When the requested VM size is not available on the current cluster, the VM must be deallocated so Azure can place it on hardware that supports the new size before restart. This option provides that capability.

Question 5
Contoso has a compliance requirement to encrypt supported VM cache and temporary-disk data at the host layer in addition to Storage service encryption. What should it enable? Choose ONE.
- Enable encryption at host on a supported VM configuration
- Use Azure managed disks for the VM disks
- Create a managed disk snapshot before the risky disk change
- Use the standard Azure resource move operation after validating dependencies
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because Encryption at host encrypts data on the VM host, including supported temporary disks and disk caches, before data flows to the Storage service, providing end-to-end at-rest protection. The deciding condition in The Contoso scenario is: data on the VM host and supported disk caches or temporary storage must be encrypted at rest before it reaches the Storage service. This option fits that condition.
Incorrect Answers
Answer B is incorrect because Managed disks are Azure-managed block-level storage volumes for virtual machines and remove the need to manage storage accounts for individual VM OS and data disks. This would not resolve the stated requirement for Contoso: data on the VM host and supported disk caches or temporary storage must be encrypted at rest before it reaches the Storage service.
Answer C is incorrect because In the Contoso case, the required result is: data on the VM host and supported disk caches or temporary storage must be encrypted at rest before it reaches the Storage service. A managed disk snapshot captures a point-in-time copy of a managed disk and provides a recovery source that can be used to create another managed disk if a later change fails. Selecting this would solve a neighboring problem instead.
Answer D is incorrect because Supported VMs can move between resource groups or subscriptions with Azure resource move operations, but required dependent resources and special-case restrictions must be validated first. It is not the appropriate selection for Contoso; the scenario requires: data on the VM host and supported disk caches or temporary storage must be encrypted at rest before it reaches the Storage service.

- Use Azure Resource Mover for the cross-region move
- Move the VM together with the required dependent resources
- Deploy the workload with an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because The Tailspin Toys scenario turns on this requirement: a supported VM and its required resources must move to another resource group using the normal Azure resource move mechanism rather than changing region. Supported VMs can move between resource groups or subscriptions with Azure resource move operations, but required dependent resources and special-case restrictions must be validated first. That makes this the appropriate choice.
Incorrect Answers
Answer B is incorrect because Azure Resource Mover orchestrates moving supported VMs and related resources between Azure regions, including dependency discovery, preparation, replication, and the final move workflow. The mismatch for Tailspin Toys is the stated requirement: a supported VM and its required resources must move to another resource group using the normal Azure resource move mechanism rather than changing region.
