What should you do first?

You have several virtual machines (VMs) that run in Azure. You also have a single System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager (SCCM) primary site on-premises.

You have the following requirements:

* All VMs must run on the same virtual network.

* Network traffic must be minimized between the on-premises datacenter and Azure.

* The solution minimize complexity.

You need to use SCCM to collect inventory and deploy software to Azure VMs.

What should you do first?
A . Configure client push for the Azure virtual network.
B . Enable and configure Operations Insights in Azure.
C . Install a cloud distribution point on an Azure V
E . Install a secondary site underneath the primary site onto an Azure V

Explanation:

Cloud-based distribution Point, a Configuration Manager Site System Role in the Cloud

Much of the Configuration Manager topology is made up of distribution points, they are very helpful in many situations where bandwidth and geographical separation are the facts of life, but also hard to manage if you have hundreds or even thousands of them.

This feature started with the vision that it makes perfect sense to have big distribution points in the Windows Azure cloud where one should not worry about things like (but not limited to) size, performance, reliability, security, access from all around the world, hardware/software update issues etc.

Note: Content management in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides the tools for you to manage content files for applications, packages, software updates, and operating system deployment. Configuration Manager uses distribution points to store files that are required for software to run on client computers. These distribution points function as distribution centers for the content files and let users download and run the software. Clients must have access to at least one distribution point from which they can download the files.
