Question

your company has windows server 2012 r2 vms and ubuntu linux vms in microsoft azure. the company has a new project to standardize the configuration of servers across the azure environment. the company opts to use desired state configuration (dsc) across all vms. you need to ensure that dsc can be used across all the vms. what two things should you do? select two. group of answer choices deploy the dsc extension for linux vms. replace the windows server 2012 r2 vms with windows server 2016 vms. deploy the dsc extension for windows server vms. replace the ubuntu vms with red hat enterprise linux vms.

Answer 1

To use Desired State Configuration across all VMs in Microsoft Azure, you should deploy the DSC extension for Windows Server VMs and the DSC extension for Linux VMs. This will standardize the server configurations without the need to replace existing VMs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure that Desired State Configuration (DSC) can be used across all the VMs in Microsoft Azure, including both Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs and Ubuntu Linux VMs, you should do two things:

• Deploy the DSC extension for Windows Server VMs. This will ensure that the Windows VMs are capable of interpreting and implementing DSC configurations.
• Deploy the DSC extension for Linux VMs. The DSC for Linux extension allows you to use the same configuration management tooling across your mixed environment of Windows and Linux VMs in Azure.

It's not necessary to replace the existing VMs with different versions as the DSC extensions are compatible with both Windows Server 2012 R2 and Ubuntu Linux VMs.
