Question 1

BGU's exam portal runs on 6 VMs to handle peak load. The team wants to ensure fault tolerance - the portal continues operating at full capacity even if a single VM unexpectedly crashes. What is the minimum number of additional VMs needed?

• 6 VMs - double the fleet for redundancy.
• 3 VMs - at least half capacity backup.
• 1 VM - N+1 ensures one failure won't drop below required capacity.
• 0 VMs - Auto Scaling will handle it automatically.

• 6 VMs in one AZ.
• 7 VMs across two AZs.
• 12 VMs across two AZs.
• 6 VMs spread across two AZs.
