Exam AZ900 Topics: architecture Difficulty: easy

A logistics company is choosing a compute option for a new shipment-tracking service. The service is packaged as a self-contained unit that bundles the application code and its dependencies, several instances of it will run on the same host machine, and the operations team does not want to install, patch, or manage an operating system for each running instance. Which compute type meets these requirements?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Virtual machines, because each instance runs its own operating system that the team can connect to and manage
  2. B. Serverless functions, because the code runs only when events arrive and no infrastructure is provisioned while idle
  3. C. Containers, because they are lightweight environments that scale out and stop dynamically with no operating system to manage per instance
  4. D. Azure Virtual Desktop, because it delivers full Windows desktops and applications to users from the cloud

Correct answer: Containers, because they are lightweight environments that scale out and stop dynamically with no operating system to manage per instance
