You must standardize session-host builds in East US and West Europe. New host pools in both regions must use the same image version, and VM provisioning should be fast in each region even during peak hours. Which two actions should you perform? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: Create a single image definition in an Azure Compute Gallery that describes the OS, publisher, offer, and SKU, For each release, create an image version with targetRegions that include East US and West Europe and set replicaCount per region.
Why this is the answer
To standardize session host builds and ensure fast VM provisioning across regions, an Azure Compute Gallery is the ideal solution. Creating a single image definition within the gallery establishes a consistent blueprint for your session hosts, defining the OS and other core properties. For each new image release, you then create an image version. This version should explicitly target both East US and West Europe using the targetRegions parameter, and you must set an appropriate replicaCount for each region. This ensures that image copies are readily available in both locations, enabling rapid VM provisioning even during high demand. Converting the gallery to ZRS is for zone redundancy within a region, not cross-region replication. Using a managed image with cross-region read-access replication is less efficient for managing multiple versions and doesn't offer the same level of control over regional availability as a Compute Gallery. Configuring deployments to use "latest" without specifying target regions would rely on default replication, which might not guarantee local availability and speed.
