Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
An administrator notices that members of a development team shut down their Azure Virtual Machines at the end of each workday by using the internal guest operating system shutdown feature.
However, the organization continues to be billed for virtual machine compute hours overnight.
What should the administrator instruct the team to do in order to stop compute billing when the virtual machines are not in use?
Deallocating a virtual machine in Microsoft Azure releases the underlying physical hardware compute resources back to the Azure datacenter pool. When a virtual machine changes from the Running state to the Stopped (deallocated) state, Azure stops charging for hourly compute processor and memory capacity.
Deallocation is the only method in Azure that suspends compute charges without requiring the deletion and recreation of the virtual machine. While associated storage disks will still incur standard monthly storage fees, the substantial hourly compute charges are completely eliminated.
