Question
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You plan to create the host pools shown in the following table.
| Name | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Pool1 | Will be directly assigned to users in the graphics department at your company<br>Will run heavy graphic rendering and compute-intensive applications<br>Must support premium storage |
| Pool2 | Pooled virtual machines for approximately 10 users<br>Will run Microsoft Office 365 apps<br>Will require calling and meeting features in Microsoft Teams<br>Must support premium storage |
You need to recommend the virtual machine size for each host pool. The solution must minimize costs.
Which size should you recommend for each pool? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation
Pool1: heavy graphic rendering needs a GPU-accelerated size, and the NV family is the GPU family built for graphics and virtual workstations, so NVv3 is the only offered size that meets the requirement. Note that NVv3 was retired on September 30, 2026, and Microsoft now recommends the NVadsA10 v5-series for the same workload. Pool2: Office apps and Teams calling and meetings (with Teams media optimization offloading audio and video to the client) run well on a general-purpose size without a GPU, so the cheaper Dsv4-series is enough. The Av2-series is cheaper still but does not support premium storage, and NVv3 would add unnecessary GPU cost.
