Azure file shares can be seamlessly used in Windows and Windows Server.To use an Azure file share with Windows, you must either mount it, which means assigning it a drive letter or mount point path, or access it via its UNC path.Unlike other SMB shares you may have interacted with, such as those hosted on a Windows Server, Linux Samba server, or NAS device, Azure file shares do not currently support Kerberos authentication with your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) identity, although this is a feature we are working on.Instead, you must access your Azure file share with the storage account key for the storage account containing your Azure file share. A storage account key is an administrator key for a storage account, including administrator permissions to all files and folders within the file share you're accessing, and for all file shares and other storage resources (blobs, queues, tables, etc) contained within your storage account.References:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windows

To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.Hot Area: Azure virtual machines are: - IaaS - PaaS - SaaS Azure SQL databases: - IaaS - PaaS - SaaS

Box 1:Azure virtual machines are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).Infrastructure as a Service is the most flexible category of cloud services. It aims to give you complete control over the hardware that runs your application (IT infrastructure servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems). Instead of buying hardware, with IaaS, you rent it. Box 2:Azure SQL databases are Platform as a Service (Paas).Azure SQL Database is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) Database Engine that handles most of the database management functions such as upgrading, patching, backups, and monitoring without user involvement. Azure SQL Database is always running on the latest stable version of SQL ServerDatabase Engine and patched OS with 99.99% availability. PaaS capabilities that are built-in into Azure SQL database enable you to focus on the domain specific database administration and optimization activities that are critical for your business.Reference:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/modules/principles-cloud-computing/5-types-of-cloud-services https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-paas-index

DRAG DROP -Match the Azure services benefits to the correct descriptions.Instructions: To answer, drag the appropriate benefit from the column on the left to its description on the right. Each benefit may be used once, more than once, or not at all.NOTE: Each correct match is worth one point. A cloud service that remains available after a failure occurs. A cloud service that can be recovered after a failure occurs. A cloud service that performs quickly when demand increases A cloud service that can be accessed quickly from the internet.

Box 1:Fault tolerance is the ability of a service to remain available after a failure of one of the components of the service. For example, a service running on multiple servers can withstand the failure of one of the servers. Box 2:Disaster recovery is the recovery of a service after a failure. For example, restoring a virtual machine from backup after a virtual machine failure. Box 3:Dynamic scalability is the ability for compute resources to be added to a service when the service is under heavy load. For example, in a virtual machine scale set, additional instances of the virtual machine are added when the existing virtual machines are under heavy load. Box 4:Latency is the time a service to respond to requests. For example, the time it takes for a web page to be returned from a web server. Low latency means low response time which means a quicker response.

Your company hosts an accounting application named App1 that is used by all the customers of the company.App1 has low usage during the first three weeks of each month and very high usage during the last week of each month.Which benefit of Azure Cloud Services supports cost management for this type of usage pattern? A. high availability B. high latency C. elasticity D. load balancing

Correct Answer: C 🗳️Elasticity in this case is the ability to provide additional compute resource when needed and reduce the compute resource when not needed to reduce costs.Autoscaling is an example of elasticity.Elastic computing is the ability to quickly expand or decrease computer processing, memory and storage resources to meet changing demands without worrying about capacity planning and engineering for peak usage. Typically controlled by system monitoring tools, elastic computing matches the amount of resources allocated to the amount of resources actually needed without disrupting operations. With cloud elasticity, a company avoids paying for unused capacity or idle resources and doesnג€™t have to worry about investing in the purchase or maintenance of additional resources and equipment.References:https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/overview/what-is-elastic-computing/

Your company plans to deploy several custom applications to Azure. The applications will provide invoicing services to the customers of the company. Each application will have several prerequisite applications and services installed.You need to recommend a cloud deployment solution for all the applications.What should you recommend? A.

You have an on-premises network that contains 100 servers.You need to recommend a solution that provides additional resources to your users. The solution must minimize capital and operational expenditure costs.What should you include in the recommendation? A. a complete migration to the public cloud B. an additional data center C. a private cloud D. a hybrid cloud

Correct Answer: D 🗳️A hybrid cloud is a combination of a private cloud and a public cloud.Capital expenditure is the spending of money up-front for infrastructure such as new servers.With a hybrid cloud, you can continue to use the on-premises servers while adding new servers in the public cloud (Azure for example). Adding new servers inAzure minimizes the capital expenditure costs as you are not paying for new servers as you would if you deployed new server on-premises. Incorrect Answers:A: A complete migration of 100 servers to the public cloud would involve a lot of operational expenditure (the cost of migrating all the servers).B: An additional data center would involve a lot of capital expenditure (the cost of the new infrastructure).C: A private cloud is hosted on on-premises servers to this would involve a lot of capital expenditure (the cost of the new infrastructure to host the private cloud).Reference:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/modules/principles-cloud-computing/4-cloud-deployment-models

You need to identify the type of failure for which an Azure Availability Zone can be used to protect access to Azure services.What should you identify? A. a physical server failure B. an Azure region failure C. a storage failure D. an Azure data center failure

Correct Answer: D 🗳️Availability zones expand the level of control you have to maintain the availability of the applications and data on your VMs. An Availability Zone is a physically separate zone, within an Azure region. There are three Availability Zones per supported Azure region.Each Availability Zone has a distinct power source, network, and cooling. By architecting your solutions to use replicated VMs in zones, you can protect your apps and data from the loss of a datacenter. If one zone is compromised, then replicated apps and data are instantly available in another zone.Reference:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/availability

HOTSPOT -To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area.Hot Area: When you are implementing a SaaS solution, you are responsible for: a) Configuring high availability b) defining scalability rules c) installing the SaaS solution d) configuring the SaaS solution

Correct answer is: D configuring the SaaS solution When you are implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, you are responsible for configuring the SaaS solution. Everything else is managed by the cloud provider.SaaS requires the least amount of management. The cloud provider is responsible for managing everything, and the end user just uses the software.Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring and office tools(such as Microsoft Office 365).SaaS provides a complete software solution which you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider. You rent the use of an app for your organization and your users connect to it over the Internet, usually with a web browser. All of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, app software and app data are located in the service providerג€™s data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and with the appropriate service agreement, will ensure the availability and the security of the app and your data as well.Reference:https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/overview/what-is-saas/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/learn/modules/principles-cloud-computing/5-types-of-cloud-services
