Thought experiment
Managing services at Contoso
I n this thought experiment, apply what you've learned about this objective. You can
find answers to these questions in the “Answers” section at the end of this chapter.

You are in the process of testing upgrade and scale out procedures at Contoso. You
have noticed that when you scale out certain tiers of the service, the Needs Atten-
tion status is displayed for the tier and service in the VMM console. You are also
interested in ensuring that tiers remain available during upgrade operations. With
this information in mind, answer the following questions:

1. How can you ensure that some parts of each tier of the service remain available
during upgrade operations?

2. How can you ensure that the Needs Attention status isn't displayed when you
scale out a tier?

Objective summary
■ If you update that service template that was used to deploy a service, VMM allows
you to update the service in deployment based on the changes that you made to the
service template.
