You manage a cloud service that is running in two small instances. The cloud service hosts
a help desk application. The application utilizes a virtual network connection to synchronize
data to the company’s internal accounting system.
You need to reduce the amount of time required for data synchronization.
What should you do?
A.
Configure the servers as large instances and re-deploy.
B.
Increase the instance count to three.
C.
Deploy the application to Azure Web Sites.
D.
Increase the processors allocated to the instances.
Explanation:

correct
Why not B – increasing VM size wont help speed up the network latency ?
Web sites has no particular magic concerning performance compared to cloud service.
So C is not the answer
One can pass From “small” to “large”, but not just increase memory ou CPU:

so D is not the answer
we don’t have an performance issue with the application, but a performance issue by connecting to the account system. So B will not help
The answer is A
A.
Crap MS question that leaves a lot to the imagination! I guess the rationale is going from Small to Large increased the Core count + RAM = data processed more quickly – which satisfies the requirement “You need to reduce the amount of time required for data synchronization.” IMHO this smacks of Network…. hey ho.
A: Net Bandwidth will be upgraded from “Moderate” to “High”
Fred explains it well. A is correct… mostly because Net Bandwidth will get upgraded from Moderate to High as Dennis stated- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-sizes-specs/
