Mark, the infrastructure architect at MDFT Pro training agency, is working alongside Claire, the DevOps engineer trainee, to prepare a specialized Azure workshop for system administrators. They are designing a hands-on lab focused on deploying Ubuntu Server virtual machines with custom security configurations. The scenario involves deploying VMs that must include a particular trusted root certificate authority (CA) as part of the initial setup to ensure secure communication with the company’s internal services.
This configuration cannot be applied post-deployment due to security policies and must be integrated during the VM creation process. Students need to understand which Azure deployment method provides the flexibility to customize the VM initialization process with cloud-init scripts or custom data to install the required certificate authority.
Mark needs to demonstrate to his students which tool should be used to create the virtual machine with the custom trusted root CA configuration.
Which deployment tool provides the required customization capabilities?
