Question 1

An administration ticket for Trey Research states: make a decision that correctly reflects this requirement: compare containers virtual machines and functions. Which decision should the cloud adoption team make to support repeatable administration? The team wants the decision to match the exact control boundary rather than the most feature-rich option.

Management groups provide a hierarchy above subscriptions for applying governance and access controls across multiple subscriptions
Choose App Service or another managed web platform for managed application hosting, containers for portable packaged workloads, and VMs when OS-level control is required
Use individual VMs for server workloads, VM Scale Sets for managed groups of similar VMs, availability sets for fault/update domain distribution, and Azure Virtual Desktop for managed virtual desktops and apps
Virtual machines provide OS-level control, containers package applications with lightweight isolation, and functions provide event-driven serverless execution
Conditional Access evaluates identity, device, location, application, and risk signals to enforce access controls such as MFA or blocking access
