VM sizes and series (B, D, E, F) in Azure - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to select a VM size optimized for burstable workloads.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing D-series which is for general purpose but not burstable.

Selecting E-series which is memory optimized.

Picking F-series which is compute optimized.

The B-series VMs are designed for burstable workloads, so "B1" is the correct choice.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to select a VM size optimized for memory-intensive workloads.

Azure

Common Mistakes

Choosing B-series which is burstable but not memory optimized.

Selecting D-series which is general purpose.

Picking F-series which is compute optimized.

E-series VMs are optimized for memory-intensive applications, so "E4" is the right choice.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the VM size selection for compute-optimized workloads.

Azure

vm_size = "Standard_[1]s"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using B-series which is burstable but not compute optimized.

Choosing D-series which is general purpose.

Selecting E-series which is memory optimized.

F-series VMs are compute optimized, so "F4" is the correct VM size for compute-heavy workloads.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary mapping VM series to their optimization type.

Azure

vm_optimization = {"B": "[1]", "E": "[2]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing compute and burstable optimizations.

Confusing general purpose with memory optimized.

B-series is for burstable workloads and E-series is for memory optimized workloads.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary mapping VM series to their typical use case.

Azure

vm_use_cases = {"B": "[1]", "D": "[2]", "F": "[3]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Assigning memory optimized to D-series.

Confusing compute optimized with burstable.

B-series is for burstable workloads, D-series is general purpose, and F-series is compute optimized.
