Correct Answer
Create an Azure Compute Gallery (formerly Shared Image Gallery) containing generalized VM images and deploy session hosts from it.
Why This Answer Is Correct
Azure Compute Gallery allows you to manage versioning and replication of custom VM images. It is the best practice for deploying and updating consistent session hosts in AVD host pools, allowing fast deployments across multiple regions.
This question evaluates your knowledge of Azure Virtual Desktop Host Pools — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty (AZ-140). Understanding Azure Virtual Desktop Host Pools is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
You need to configure a pooled host pool with 20 session hosts. You want to minimize the number of running VMs to save costs. You want new user sessions to populate a single session host up to its maximum session limit before directing new users to the next host. Which configuration should you apply?
You are configuring a host pool for a team of graphic designers. The users run CAD software that requires dedicated GPU hardware. Which Azure Virtual Machine SKU series should you select for the session hosts?
You want to deploy an Azure Virtual Desktop environment where each user is permanently assigned a specific virtual machine upon their first login. Which host pool type and assignment type should you configure?
You want to deploy session hosts using an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template. You need to ensure the VMs are correctly registered to your specific AVD host pool during provisioning. What piece of information must you provide to the AVD agent installation extension?
You need to update a generalized image used for a pooled host pool. After updating the golden VM and running sysprep, what is the most efficient way to update the existing session hosts?
