Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
While an Azure virtual machine is still running, you open the Size blade in the Azure portal, but the larger size you need (Standard_D8s_v5) is not listed. You must resize the VM to this SKU. Which action should you perform first to complete the resize?
Increase the OS disk size so the VM automatically scales its compute resources.
Delete the VM and recreate it with the required size.
Restart the VM and attempt to resize it again without stopping.
Stop (deallocate) the VM, then select the new size in the Size blade.
If the target size is not shown while the VM is running, stop (deallocate) the VM. Deallocation frees the current hardware cluster so that Azure can place the VM on a host where the requested size is available. After the VM shows the Stopped (deallocated) state, select the new size and click Resize, then start the VM. Simply restarting the VM keeps it on the same hardware cluster and will not reveal additional sizes, expanding the disk does not affect compute sizing, and deleting the VM is unnecessary and risks data loss.
