A media company transcodes video files. Each file is processed independently and the workload is highly variable, with occasional large batches. The team wants to use Azure Batch and needs to minimize cost while keeping the pool ready for unexpected jobs. What should you recommend?

Use a pool with a single large VM and run tasks sequentially.

Use an autoscale pool with a formula that scales nodes based on the number of pending tasks.

Use a fixed pool with a large number of nodes to handle peak demand.

Use a low-priority pool with a fixed number of nodes.

A company runs a legacy Windows application that requires a persistent desktop session for each user. The application is CPU-intensive and users need to access it from various devices. The company wants to move to Azure and minimize management of individual user desktops. What should you recommend?

Use Azure Bastion to connect users to a shared VM running the application.

Publish the application as a container in Azure Container Instances.

Create a VM for each user and provide RDP access through a public IP.

Deploy the application to Azure Virtual Desktop and assign users to a host pool.
