Question 540
A post-change operational risk review considers: A scaling plan is configured in the wrong time zone and starts capacity an hour late. Which risk MOST DIRECTLY explains the need for the proposed AVD control?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The condition is: A scaling plan is configured in the wrong time zone and starts capacity an hour late. The directly related risk is: A plan with incorrect minimum capacity or schedules can strand morning users or shut down critical sessions. The corrective control is: Configure a supported AVD scaling plan for pooled hosts with appropriate time zone, ramp-up and ramp-down phases, limits and exclusions. Its test of effectiveness is: A measured peak-start simulation powers on enough ready hosts before users connect and ramps down safely later. This issue is specific to the observed AVD behavior, not to a separate administration concern.
Incorrect Answers
This option relates to Azure Monitor Insights workbooks and connection metrics under AZ-140 objective group 4.1. It addresses a different failure risk: A healthy Azure VM power state does not prove the end-user connection and interactive session are healthy. But the observed requirement is: A scaling plan is configured in the wrong time zone and starts capacity an hour late. For the targeted topic (Pooled host pool autoscale schedule and thresholds), the directly relevant risk is: A plan with incorrect minimum capacity or schedules can strand morning users or shut down critical sessions. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
This option relates to Session host capacity and resource optimization under AZ-140 objective group 4.1. It addresses a different failure risk: Sizing from average CPU alone can hide per-user RAM exhaustion or profile storage bottlenecks. But the observed requirement is: A scaling plan is configured in the wrong time zone and starts capacity an hour late. For the targeted topic (Pooled host pool autoscale schedule and thresholds), the directly relevant risk is: A plan with incorrect minimum capacity or schedules can strand morning users or shut down critical sessions. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
This option relates to Active user sessions and application group operations under AZ-140 objective group 4.1. It addresses a different failure risk: Terminating arbitrary active user sessions to free capacity can cause unsaved work loss and does not correct underlying host health problems. But the observed requirement is: A scaling plan is configured in the wrong time zone and starts capacity an hour late. For the targeted topic (Pooled host pool autoscale schedule and thresholds), the directly relevant risk is: A plan with incorrect minimum capacity or schedules can strand morning users or shut down critical sessions. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
