A. B.B
Microsoft Antimalware is deployed as an extension and not a feature.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/antimalwareThe given solution of connecting to each virtual machine and adding a Windows feature to deploy Microsoft Antimalware might meet the goal of deploying the antimalware to the virtual machines, but it is not an efficient solution for a large number of virtual machines. The process of connecting to each virtual machine and adding a Windows feature would be time-consuming and cumbersome, especially for an environment with 50 virtual machines.
A more efficient solution would be to use Azure Security Center, which can be used to deploy and manage antimalware on virtual machines. Azure Security Center can be used to create a security policy, which can be applied to all the virtual machines in a subscription. The security policy can include antimalware settings, which will automatically deploy the antimalware to all the virtual machines in the subscription.
Therefore, the given solution of connecting to each virtual machine and adding a Windows feature to deploy Microsoft Antimalware does not meet the goal efficiently. The correct answer is "No."
