Cross-region VM relocation involves data transfer and dependencies; it is not a simple resource-group reassignment.

Changing compute capacity does not enlarge an Azure managed disk. Increase the disk resource's provisioned capacity and then extend the partition and filesystem inside the guest using a supported procedure.

Managed disks provide durable Azure storage tied to the VM, whereas temporary disks can lose data on deallocation or host events. This matters here because an administrator needs to increase a managed data disk's capacity without replacing a VM. What operations are required.

Azure VM families trade off CPU, memory, disk and price. A general-purpose or memory-optimized shape may cost more for the required CPU workload. This matters here because azure reports a larger disk capacity but Windows still shows the old volume size. What is missing.

Extension execution status does not necessarily prove that a custom installed service started correctly. Observe the actual workload outcome. This matters here because azure reports a larger disk capacity but Windows still shows the old volume size. What is missing.

Azure's disk resource can show the larger provisioned capacity while the guest volume remains at its old boundary. Refresh guest-disk discovery and extend the partition/filesystem; restarts by themselves cannot allocate the new space.

Encryption at host covers eligible host-side data paths beyond ordinary persistent managed disk encryption. Support depends on region, VM and disk options. This matters here because a virtual machine's original OS disk must be retained during VM deletion for forensics. Which setting should be reviewed.

VM scale sets manage consistent VM instances and support orchestration, updates and scaling. Managing each VM independently adds overhead. This matters here because a virtual machine's original OS disk must be retained during VM deletion for forensics. Which setting should be reviewed.

Fault domains protect against shared hardware fault, and update domains stagger planned servicing in supported datacenter placements.

Not every VM SKU supports accelerated networking. A resize can change which NIC features are available. This matters here because a deleted VM's OS disk unexpectedly disappeared. Which configuration should be inspected.

Manual upgrade mode does not automatically update all existing instances. The model and instance state can diverge until updates are requested. This matters here because a deleted VM's OS disk unexpectedly disappeared. Which configuration should be inspected.

Managed disk server-side encryption and encryption at the host operate at different layers. Configuring one does not imply the other. This matters here because a deleted VM's OS disk unexpectedly disappeared. Which configuration should be inspected.

SSH public-key login avoids password reuse and supports controlled key management. The VM stores only the public key for verification. This matters here because a company wants a reusable hardened Windows VM image distributed to multiple regions. Which Azure image service is….

An upgrade policy does not automatically replace an explicitly pinned image version with a newly published gallery version. Update the model reference and apply the supported upgrade process.

Manual upgrade mode does not automatically update all existing instances. The model and instance state can diverge until updates are requested. This matters here because a scale set pins image version 1.2.0 but the gallery publishes 1.3.0; the VMs stay unchanged. Why.

Disk performance can be capped by both individual disk SKUs and total VM throughput. Faster disks cannot exceed the host capability. This matters here because a scale set pins image version 1.2.0 but the gallery publishes 1.3.0; the VMs stay unchanged. Why.

Localhost is scoped to the container group's network environment. Separate groups have different network identities. This matters here because an ACI workload needs private access to an application endpoint inside a VNet. What network arrangement is appropriate.

Nonzero minimum replicas reduce cold starts but consume resources during idle periods. A zero minimum optimizes idle cost. This matters here because an ACI workload needs private access to an application endpoint inside a VNet. What network arrangement is appropriate.

ACI runs isolated container workloads without maintaining a cluster control plane. This is suitable for simple short-duration tasks.

Nonzero minimum replicas reduce cold starts but consume resources during idle periods. A zero minimum optimizes idle cost. This matters here because an ACI group fails placement because the requested subnet is not configured for containers.

Local Docker execution does not test Azure subscription quota. Deployment requires Azure-side capacity authorization. This matters here because an ACI group fails placement because the requested subnet is not configured for containers.

Localhost is scoped to the container group's network environment. Separate groups have different network identities. This matters here because an ACI group fails placement because the requested subnet is not configured for containers.

Separately deployed container groups do not share one local network namespace or coordinated container-group lifecycle. The collaborating containers belong in a single group.

ACI VNet integration uses supported subnet configuration to give the group private connectivity. A private registry alone does not connect it to a VNet. This matters here because an ACI group contains a proxy sidecar and an application process that must share a lifecycle and network context.

Readiness indicates whether a replica should serve requests. Liveness targets failed processes that require restart.

A pull-specific role minimizes registry privilege. Push authorization would permit unnecessary artifact modification. This matters here because two ACI containers in different groups attempt localhost communication and fail. Why.

Digests identify exact content independent of mutable tags. This reduces accidental deployment of an unreviewed artifact. This matters here because two ACI containers in different groups attempt localhost communication and fail. Why.

Localhost networking is shared inside one ACI container group, not across separately isolated groups. Use one group or explicit network endpoints.

Ingress type determines the application's network audience. A private app should not have unintended public routing.

Schedules are evaluated according to the service's documented clock semantics. A local-time assumption can shift an execution window.

ACI runs isolated container workloads without maintaining a cluster control plane. It is appropriate for simple short-duration tasks.
