You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1. VM1 was deployed by using a custom Azure Resource Manager template named ARM1.json.
You receive a notification that VM1 will be affected by maintenance.
You need to move VM1 to a different host immediately.
Solution: From the VM1 Redeploy + reapply blade, you select Redeploy.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer
B. No
Explanation
Selecting Redeploy from the VM1 Redeploy + reapply blade will redeploy the virtual machine VM1, but it does not guarantee moving VM1 to a different host immediately.
When you redeploy a VM, Azure will shut down the VM, release the compute resources, and then recreate the VM using the same VM configuration settings and the same host if available. If the original host is not available, then Azure will recreate the VM on a new host.
However, redeploying does not allow you to specify a different host for the VM. It only recreates the VM using the original configuration. There is no guarantee that redeploying will move the VM to a different host to avoid the planned maintenance.
To immediately move a VM to a different host, you would need to use the “Move” operation specifically, which is not the same as Redeploy. The Move operation allows you to manually move the VM to a different host or availability zone.
Therefore, simply selecting Redeploy from the VM blade does not meet the goal of moving VM1 to a different host immediately. The correct answer is B. No.
