An enterprise hosts a third-party Windows application on premises. The vendor's support contract requires full remote access to the server, including permission to install tools that modify the Windows registry and to restart the operating system during troubleshooting. When the company moves this application to Azure, which hosting option satisfies the support requirements?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →

  2. B. Azure App Service, where the vendor's Windows application would run on shared infrastructure that Microsoft operates
  3. C. Azure Container Instances, because containers isolate the application from the underlying operating system
  4. D. Azure Functions, because serverless execution removes all operating system responsibilities from the vendor
