You are evaluating a Windows Azure application. The application uses one instance of a web role.
The role instance size is set to Medium. The application does not use SQL Azure. You have the
following requirements for scaling the application:
– Maximize throughput.
– Minimize downtime while scaling.
– Increase system resources.
You need to recommend an approach for scaling the application. What should you recommend?
A.
Set up vertical partitioning.
B.
Set up horizontal partitioning.
C.
Increase the number of role instances.
D.
Change the role instance size to Large.
You cant change the size of the role, only the APP plan so D is not correct – and because it is looking for no downtime, you must increase the instances

On the Scale page of the Azure Management Portal, you can manually scale your application or you
can set parameters to automatically scale it. You can scale applications that are running Web Roles,
Worker Roles, or Virtual Machines. To scale an application that is running instances of Web Roles or
Worker Roles, you add or remove role instances to accommodate the work load.
