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.

Yes, the solution of clicking "Redeploy" from the Redeploy blade would meet the goal of moving VM1 to a different host immediately.

Explanation:

When you redeploy a virtual machine in Azure, the VM is moved to a new host within the same availability set, and the VM's resources are updated. This can help resolve issues related to the VM's configuration, networking, or connectivity.

In this scenario, the notification that VM1 will be affected by maintenance implies that the current host that VM1 is running on will be taken offline for maintenance. To prevent any potential downtime or service interruption, the goal is to move VM1 to a different host immediately.

Selecting the "Redeploy" option from the Azure portal will initiate the redeployment process for the selected virtual machine. During this process, the current VM is moved to a different host within the same availability set, and the resources are updated.

Since the goal is to move VM1 to a different host immediately, selecting the "Redeploy" option from the Redeploy blade is an appropriate solution to meet the goal.
