Task 1 Step 3-On the Basics tab, in the Availability zone drop down menu, place a checkmark next to Zone 2. This should select both Zone 1 and Zone 2.
Note: This will deploy two virtual machines in the selected region, one in each zone. You achieve the 99.99% uptime SLA because you have at least two VMs distributed across at least two zones. In the scenario where you might only need one VM, it is a best practice to still deploy the VM to another zone.
- On the Basics tab, continue completing the configuration:
Table is not so clear, recommend moving the after selecting availability zones to the from to the VM names area and then have them click Edit names and put in the two names. _Having students put in the first VM name and then try to click the zone and it only allows one to be selected and causes confusion. _
Setting Value
Subscription the name of your Azure subscription
Resource group az104-rg8-lod63348529
Virtual machine names az104-vm1 and az104-vm2 (After selecting both availability zones, select Edit names under the VM name field.)
Better option--Virtual machine names After selecting both availability zones, select Edit names under the VM name field. and update to az104-vm1 and az104-vm2
Region eastus2
Availability options Availability zone
Availability zone Zone 1, 2 (read the note about using virtual machine scale sets)
Also, the screen shot provided doesn't match certain areas of the table of required values, like the rg name and even region is eastus2 in the table but the screen shot shows eastus and even though you have the notes where you may have to change the region, this does cause slight confusion for those students who actually use the screenshots. Maybe add a watermark saying sample only to the image?
Thanks for the review.
