Contoso runs a Windows Server VM scale set with 10 instances behind a load balancer. The scale set uses a custom VM image stored in a managed disk. During a peak event, the scale set fails to scale out beyond 10 instances even though the autoscale rule requests 20. The VMSS is in a single availability zone. What is the most likely cause?

The autoscale rule has a maximum instance count of 10 configured in the scale set settings.

The scale set is configured with a single placement group, which limits the maximum instance count to 100, not 10.

The custom image is stored in a storage account that has reached its IOPS limit.

The scale set is using Availability Zones, which restricts scaling to a maximum of 10 instances per zone.

You need to increase the CPU and memory of an existing Windows Server VM in Azure. What should you do?

Change the VM's availability set

Change the VM size to a larger size

Deploy a new VM with the desired size

Your security team wants to restrict RDP access to a Windows Server VM to only the IT admin's public IP address. The VM currently has a public IP and an NSG that allows RDP from anywhere. You want to minimize the attack surface. What should you do?

Remove the public IP and use Azure Bastion.

Modify the NSG rule to allow RDP only from the IT admin's IP address.

Change the NSG rule to deny all inbound traffic.

Enable Just-in-Time VM access and configure it to allow the IT admin's IP.
