You are the virtualization administrator for an organization that manages private and public
cloud resources.
The organization has a Windows Azure subscription. You plan to move victual machines to Windows Azure
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) by using System Center 2012 R2 App Controller.
You need to create a virtual machine template that allows virtual machines to be moved from Hyper-V to
Windows Azure.
What should you do?
A.
Create a new virtual machine that uses a .vhd file. Run the Sysprep tool on the virtual machine.
B.
Create a new Generation 2 virtual machine that uses a .vhdx file that is attached to a SCSI controller. Run
the Sysprep tool on the virtual machine.
C.
Create a new virtual machine that uses a .vhdx file. Run the Sysprep tool on the virtual machine.
D.
Create a virtual machine by using a differencing disk. Use the Clone a virtual machine option to create new
virtual machines.
Windows Azure stores a virtual machine’s operating system in a virtual hard disk in VHD format (a .vhd file). A VHD of an operating system that has been prepared for duplication is called an image.
Before the image can be uploaded to Windows Azure, it must be generalized by using the Sysprep command.

Why do you need a template in Azure? You can just move the entire VM incl. disks with appcontroller…
oh answer is still A. as that’s the only one that makes any sense for a template in azure.
