When you redeploy a VM, it moves the VM to a new node within the Azure infrastructure and then powers it back on, retaining all your configuration options and associated resources.

The solution mentioned in the question, which is to use the Redeploy blade to move VM1 to a different host, should meet the goal of moving VM1 to a different host immediately. Therefore, the answer is A. Yes.

Redeploy is an Azure feature that allows you to move an Azure virtual machine to a new host within the same Azure data center. This feature can be useful in situations where the physical hardware hosting the virtual machine needs to be updated or maintained. By using Redeploy, you can move the virtual machine to a new host without having to perform any manual configuration on the new host.

When you select the Redeploy option for a virtual machine, Azure deallocates the VM and moves it to a new host. After the VM has been moved, Azure restarts it. During this process, the VM's IP address and DNS name do not change, and any attached disks are retained.

In the scenario described in the question, the goal is to move VM1 to a different host immediately, in response to a maintenance notification. The Redeploy option is a suitable solution in this case, as it allows the VM to be moved quickly without the need for manual intervention. Therefore, the answer to the question is A. Yes.
