You need to remove a specific instance from a Virtual Machine Scale Set. Which Azure CLI command should you use?

az vmss deallocate --resource-group RG1 --name MyScaleSet --instance-ids 2

az vm delete --resource-group RG1 --name MyScaleSet-instance2

az vmss delete-instances --resource-group RG1 --name MyScaleSet --instance-ids 2

az vmss scale --resource-group RG1 --name MyScaleSet --new-capacity 1

A Virtual Machine Scale Set is behind an Azure Load Balancer. The scale set scales out based on CPU usage. You notice that during scale-in, the load balancer continues to send traffic to instances that are being deallocated, causing request failures. You need to prevent this. What should you do?

Configure the autoscale scale-in rule with a longer cool-down period and a smaller instance count decrease.

Disable the health probe on the load balancer.

Configure the load balancer health probe to use a longer interval and a higher unhealthy threshold.

Use a shorter health probe interval and a lower unhealthy threshold.

You need to enforce a company policy that all Virtual Machine Scale Sets must use a specific VM size. Which Azure feature should you use to enforce this requirement?

Azure role-based access control (RBAC)

A Virtual Machine Scale Set is configured with autoscale based on CPU percentage. The scale set is currently at 4 instances. You notice that the scale set frequently scales out and in, causing thrashing. You need to reduce autoscale thrashing while still responding to demand. What should you do?

Increase the scale-out and scale-in thresholds and increase the cool-down periods.

Decrease the scale-out and scale-in thresholds and decrease the cool-down periods.

Use a schedule-based rule to scale out during business hours.

Set the instance count to a fixed value of 4.
