Plan and implement an Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure

You need to configure the virtual machines whose names begin with the Pool1 prefix so that the solution satisfies the technical requirements.

What should you use?

  • A an Azure Virtual Desktop automation task
  • B Virtual machine auto-shutdown
  • C Service Health in Azure Monitor
  • D Azure Automation
Explanation

The technical requirement specifies that the Pool1 virtual machines must run only during business hours, which requires both automatically starting and stopping the VMs on a recurring schedule. Azure Automation lets you create runbooks (such as the built-in Start/Stop VMs during off-hours solution) that start and stop VMs based on a defined schedule, fully satisfying this requirement while minimizing administrative overhead. VM auto-shutdown only supports a single scheduled shutdown time and cannot start the VMs again, Service Health in Azure Monitor is unrelated to VM power management (it reports on Azure service incidents/outages), and there is no Azure Virtual Desktop feature called an 'automation task'.
