Choose the Correct Components for VM Configuration Management

You work at MDFT Pro and have created an Azure DevOps project for a new training application that will be deployed to several Windows Server 2016 Azure virtual machines.

You are preparing a deployment solution that allows the virtual machines to maintain a uniform configuration while minimizing administrative effort for configuring the virtual machines.

Which of the following components should be part of your solution?

Choose all correct answers from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Azure Resource Manager templates is correct.
The PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension for Windows is correct.
Azure pipeline deployment groups is incorrect. Azure pipeline deployment groups are used to define a set of target machines for deployment, but they don't help maintain uniform configurations across VMs or reduce administrative effort in configuring VMs.
The Custom Script Extension for Windows is incorrect. The Custom Script Extension lets you download and execute scripts on Azure VMs, but it's more suitable for one-time configurations or ad-hoc changes rather than maintaining a consistent state across multiple VMs.
Azure pipeline stage templates is incorrect. Azure pipeline stage templates are used to define reusable pipeline stages, but they don't directly help with maintaining uniform VM configurations or reducing VM administrative effort.
