AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Image Versus Snapshots

The video tutorial explains the differences between images and snapshots in Azure. Images are used to create multiple virtual machines with pre-installed applications and configurations, saving time. Snapshots, on the other hand, are used for point-in-time restores of a single disk, useful for recovery from corruption. However, snapshots cannot coordinate multiple disks, unlike images. The tutorial highlights the importance of choosing the right tool based on the scenario.

What is the primary purpose of creating an image in Azure managed disks?

• To back up a single disk

• To create multiple virtual machines efficiently

• To perform point-in-time restores

• To coordinate multiple disks

Which of the following is NOT included when taking an image of a virtual machine?

• All attached disks

• Installed applications

• Server hardening procedures

• Snapshots of other disks

What is a snapshot primarily used for in Azure managed disks?

• Creating multiple virtual machines

• Installing new applications

• Coordinating multiple disks

• Performing point-in-time restores

Why might snapshots be problematic in scenarios requiring multiple disk coordination?

• They require special permissions

• They are expensive

• They are too large

• They only apply to one disk

In what situation would you restore from a snapshot?

• When you need to install new software

• When the virtual machine is running smoothly

• When the virtual machine is corrupted

• When you want to upgrade the operating system
