A company has a VM that runs a batch processing job every night. The job requires 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB RAM for about 2 hours. The rest of the day, the VM is idle. The company wants to minimize costs while ensuring the job completes. The VM currently uses a Standard_D16s_v3 size. What should you do?

Resize the VM to Standard_D8s_v3 and run the job longer.

Keep the VM at Standard_D16s_v3 and use Azure Hybrid Benefit to reduce cost.

Deallocate the VM when not in use and start it before the batch job runs.

Move the VM to a smaller size and use Azure Spot instances.

You need to increase the size of an existing managed disk on a virtual machine. What must you do after changing the disk size?

Delete the disk and recreate it

A company has a VM in subscription A (production) that runs a line-of-business application. The VM is in resource group RG-Prod. The company is reorganizing and wants to move this VM to subscription B (development) for testing. The VM uses a managed disk and is in an availability set. You need to move the VM to subscription B. What should you do?

Move the VM to a different resource group in subscription A first, then move to subscription B.

Move only the VM resource to subscription B, leaving the disk in subscription A.

Move the VM and its managed disk to subscription B using the Azure portal.

Delete the VM and recreate it in subscription B from a captured image.
