A company has an existing custom VHD image used for Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. They need to update the image with the latest Windows updates and a new version of a line-of-business application. They want to minimize downtime and avoid recreating the image from scratch. What should they do?

Use Azure Image Builder to create a new image from the Azure Marketplace, ignoring the existing custom image.

Create a new session host from the existing image, apply updates and the new app, generalize the VM, and capture a new image version.

Deploy the updated applications as part of the session host startup script instead of updating the image.

Directly edit the VHD file offline using Hyper-V to inject updates and the new application.

An organization uses Azure VM Image Builder to create session host images. They need to ensure that the image build process is compliant with their change management policy, which requires that every image version be approved before it is used in production. They also want to keep a history of all image versions. What should they implement?

Use a single image definition and overwrite the latest version with each build.

Use Azure Compute Gallery with separate image definitions for 'test' and 'production', and only promote approved versions to the production definition.

Use Azure DevOps to manually approve each build and then delete the previous version.

Store images as managed images and use Azure Policy to track approvals.

A company has a large Azure Virtual Desktop deployment with multiple session host pools. They use Azure Compute Gallery to manage their images. They need to implement a lifecycle strategy that ensures images are updated regularly, but they also need to minimize the impact of image updates on running session hosts. They want to avoid downtime for users. What should they do?

Create new image versions and deploy new session hosts from them, while gradually replacing old session hosts using a rolling update approach.

Delete the old image version and create a new one, then manually redeploy all session hosts.

Update the existing image version and force all session hosts to reimage immediately.

Use Azure Update Management to patch the image itself.

A multi-national company needs to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts in several regions. They have a custom image that must be available in all regions. They also need to manage multiple versions of the image and control which versions are used in each region. They want to minimize storage costs while ensuring availability. What should they do?

Use Azure Container Registry to store the image and deploy session hosts from it.

Use an Azure Compute Gallery and replicate the image to all regions, but only keep the latest version in regions with low demand.

Use Azure Blob Storage to store the image and create session hosts directly from the VHD URL.

Store the image in a single region and copy it to other regions only when needed.

A company uses Azure VM Image Builder to create their session host image. They want to ensure that the image includes the latest version of a specific application. The application vendor provides an MSI file that is updated monthly. What should they do?

Include a step in the image builder template to download and install the MSI from a known URL.

Use Azure Policy to install the MSI on session hosts after deployment.

Use Azure Compute Gallery to automatically update the application in the image.

Manually install the MSI on a VM and then capture the image.
