You plan to deploy several Azure virtual machines. You need to ensure that the services running on the virtual machines are available if a single data center fails. Solution: You deploy the virtual machines to two or more regions. Does this meet the goal? A. Yes B. No
A By deploying the virtual machines to two or more regions, you are deploying the virtual machines to multiple datacenters. This will ensure that the services running on the virtual machines are available if a single data center fails. Azure operates in multiple datacenters around the world. These datacenters are grouped in to geographic regions, giving you flexibility in choosing where to build your applications. You create Azure resources in defined geographic regions like 'West US', 'North Europe', or 'Southeast Asia'. You can review the list of regions and their locations. Within each region, multiple datacenters exist to provide for redundancy and availability.
You have an on-premises network that contains several servers. You plan to migrate all the servers to Azure. You need to recommend a solution to ensure that some of the servers are available if a single Azure data center goes offline for an extended period. What should you include in the recommendation? A. fault tolerance B. elasticity C. scalability D. low latency
A Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue to function in the event of a failure of some of its components. In this question, you could have servers that are replicated across datacenters. Availability zones expand the level of control you have to maintain the availability of the applications and data on your VMs. Availability Zones are unique physical locations within an Azure region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. To ensure resiliency, there are a minimum of three separate zones in all enabled regions. The physical separation of Availability Zones within a region protects applications and data from datacenter failures. With Availability Zones, Azure offers industry best 99.99% VM uptime SLA. By architecting your solutions to use replicated VMs in zones, you can protect your applications and data from the loss of a datacenter. If one zone is compromised, then replicated apps and data are instantly available in another zone.
You have 1,000 virtual machines hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center. You plan to migrate all the virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. You need to identify which expenditure model to use for the planned Azure solution. Which expenditure model should you identify? A. operational B. elastic C. capital D. scalable
A One of the major changes that you will face when you move from on-premises cloud to the public cloud is the switch from capital expenditure (buying hardware) to operating expenditure (paying for service as you use it). This switch also requires more careful management of your costs. The benefit of the cloud is that you can fundamentally and positively affect the cost of a service you use by merely shutting down or resizing it when it's not needed.
What does a customer provide in a software as a service (SaaS) model? A. application data B. data storage C. compute resources D. application software
A 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 provider'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.

Your company plans to migrate to Azure. The company has several departments. All the Azure resources used by each department will be managed by a department administrator. What are two possible techniques to segment Azure for the departments? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. multiple subscriptions B. multiple Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) directories C. multiple regions D. multiple resource groups
AD An Azure subscription is a container for Azure resources. It is also a boundary for permissions to resources and for billing. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. A single Azure tenant (Azure Active Directory) can contain multiple Azure subscriptions. A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. To enable each department administrator to manage the Azure resources used by that department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can then assign each department administrator as an administrator for the subscription to enable them to manage all resources in that subscription.
You have an Azure environment that contains multiple Azure virtual machines. You plan to implement a solution that enables the client computers on your on-premises network to communicate to the Azure virtual machines.

Yes/No A private cloud must be disconnected from the internet. Yes/No
Box 1: No - You cannot add physical servers to the public cloud. You can only deploy virtual servers in the public cloud. You can extend a private cloud by deploying virtual servers in a public cloud. This would create a hybrid cloud. Box 2: Yes - A hybrid cloud is a combination of a private cloud and public cloud. Therefore, to create a hybrid cloud, you must deploy resources to a public cloud. Box 3: No - It is not true that a private cloud must be disconnected from the Internet. Private clouds can be and most commonly are connected to the Internet. Private cloud means that the physical servers are managed by you. It does not mean that it is disconnected from the Internet.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area: Statements: Azure resources can only access other resources in the same resource group. Yes/No If you delete a resource group, all the resources in the resource group will be deleted. Yes/No A resource group can contain resources from multiple Azure regions. Yes/No
Box 1: No - A resource can interact with resources in other resource groups. Box 2: Yes - Deleting the resource group will remove the resource group as well as all the resources in that resource group. This can be useful for the management of resources. For example, a virtual machine has several components (the VM itself, virtual disks, network adapter etc.). By placing the VM in its own resource group, you can delete the VM along with all its associated components by deleting the resource group. Another example is when creating a test environment. You could place the entire test environment (Network components, virtual machines etc.) in one resource group. You can then delete the entire test environment by deleting the resource group. Box 3: Yes - Resources from multiple different regions can be placed in a resource group. The resource group only contains metadata about the resources it contains.

Yes/No A company can extend the capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud. Yes/No In a public cloud model, only guest users at your company can access the resources in the cloud. Yes/No
Box 1: No - It is not true that a company must always migrate from a private cloud model to implement a hybrid cloud. You could start with a public cloud and then combine that with an on-premise infrastructure to implement a hybrid cloud. Box 2: Yes - A company can extend the capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud. This is very common. When you need more capacity, rather than pay out for new on-premises infrastructure, you can configure a cloud environment and connect your on-premises network to the cloud environment by using a VPN. Box 3: No - It is not true that only guest users can access cloud resources. You can give anyone with an account in Azure Active Directory access to the cloud resources. There are many authentication scenarios but a common one is to replicate your on-premises Active Directory accounts to Azure Active Directory and provide access to the Azure Active Directory accounts. Another commonly used authentication method is Federation where authentication for access to cloud resources is passed to another authentication provider such as an on-premises Active Directory.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area: Statements: Azure provides flexibility between capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx). Yes/No If you create two Azure virtual machines that use the B2S size, each virtual machine will always generate the same monthly costs. Yes/No When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you continue to pay storage costs associated to the virtual machine. Yes/No
Box 1: Yes - Traditionally, IT expenses have been considered a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). Today, with the move to the cloud and the pay-as-you-go model, organizations have the ability to stretch their budgets and are shifting their IT CapEx costs to Operating Expenditures (OpEx) instead. This flexibility, in accounting terms, is now an option due to the as a Service model of purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources. Box 2: No - Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations. Therefore, the monthly costs could be different. Box 3: Yes - When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you don't pay for the virtual machine. However, you do still pay for the storage costs associated to the virtual machine. The most common storage costs are for the disks attached to the virtual machines. There are also other storage costs associated with a virtual machine such as storage for diagnostic data and virtual machine backups.

This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct. Resource groups provide organizations with the ability to manage the compliance of Azure resources across multiple subscriptions. Instructions: Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select No change is needed. If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct. A. No change is needed B. Management groups C. Azure policies D. Azure App Service plans
C Azure policies can be used to define requirements for resource properties during deployment and for already existing resources. Azure Policy controls properties such as the types or locations of resources. Azure Policy is a service in Azure that you use to create, assign, and manage policies. These policies enforce different rules and effects over your resources, so those resources stay compliant with your corporate standards and service level agreements. Azure Policy meets this need by evaluating your resources for non- compliance with assigned policies. All data stored by Azure Policy is encrypted at rest. For example, you can have a policy to allow only a certain SKU size of virtual machines in your environment. Once this policy is implemented, new and existing resources are evaluated for compliance. With the right type of policy, existing resources can be brought into compliance.
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
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 doesn't have to worry about investing in the purchase or maintenance of additional resources and equipment.
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. Software as a Service (SaaS) B. Platform as a Service (PaaS) C. Infrastructure as a Service (laaS)
C Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the internet. The IaaS service provider manages the infrastructure, while you purchase, install, configure, and manage your own software Incorrect Answers: A: 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. In this scenario, you need to run your own apps, and therefore require an infrastructure. B:Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. PaaS includes infrastructure servers, storage, and networking but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.
In which type of cloud model are all the hardware resources owned by a third-party and shared between multiple tenants? A. private B. hybrid C. public
C Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud are three examples of public cloud services. Microsoft, Amazon and Google own the hardware. The tenants are the customers who use the public cloud services.
You plan to create an Azure virtual machine. You need to identify which storage service must be used to store the unmanaged data disks of the virtual machine. What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate service in the answer area. Hot Area: Containers - Scalable, cost-effective storage for unstructured data File shares - Serverless SMB file shares Tables - Tabular data storage Queues - Effectively scale apps according to traffic
Containers Azure containers are the backbone of the virtual disks platform for Azure IaaS. Both Azure OS and data disks are implemented as virtual disks where data is durably persisted in the Azure Storage platform and then delivered to the virtual machines for maximum performance. Azure Disks are persisted in Hyper-V VHD format and stored as a page blob in Azure Storage.
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
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 in Azure 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).
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
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.
You attempt to create several managed Microsoft SQL Server instances in an Azure environment and receive a message that you must increase your Azure subscription limits. What should you do to increase the limits? A. Create a service health alert B. Upgrade your support plan C. Modify an Azure policy D. Create a new support request
D Many Azure resource have quote limits. The purpose of the quota limits is to help you control your Azure costs. However, it is common to require an increase to the default quota. You can request a quota limit increase by opening a support request. In the support request, select Service and subscription limits (quotas) for the Issue type, select your subscription and the service you want to increase the quota for. For this question, you would select SQL Database Managed Instance as the quote type.

You plan to migrate several servers from an on-premises network to Azure. What is an advantage of using a public cloud service for the servers over an on-premises network? A. The public cloud is owned by the public, NOT a private corporation B. The public cloud is a crowd-sourcing solution that provides corporations with the ability to enhance the cloud C. All public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public D. The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the resources in the cloud
D The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the resources in the cloud. The hardware resources (servers, infrastructure etc.) are managed by the cloud provider. Multiple companies create resources such as virtual machines and virtual networks on the hardware resources. Incorrect Answers: A: The public cloud is not owned by the public. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the cloud is owned by Microsoft. B: The public cloud is a not crowd-sourcing solution. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the cloud is owned by Microsoft. C: It is not true that public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public. You pay for a cloud subscription and create accounts for your users to access your cloud resources. No one can access your cloud resources until you create user accounts and provide the appropriate access permissions.
What are two characteristics of the public cloud? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. dedicated hardware B. unsecured connections C. limited storage D. metered pricing E. self-service management
DE With the public cloud, you get pay-as-you-go pricing - you pay only for what you use, no CapEx costs. With the public cloud, you have self-service management. You are responsible for the deployment and configuration of the cloud resources such as virtual machines or web sites. The underlying hardware that hosts the cloud resources is managed by the cloud provider. Incorrect Answers: A: You don't have dedicated hardware. The underlying hardware is shared so you could have multiple customers using cloud resources hosted on the same physical hardware. B: Connections to the public cloud are secure. C: Storage is not limited. You can have as much storage as you like.
You plan to extend your company's network to Azure. The network contains a VPN appliance that uses an IP address of 131.107.200.1.You need to create an Azure resource that defines the VPN appliance in Azure. Which Azure resource should you create? To answer, select the appropriate resource in the answer area. Hot Area: Services: NAT gateways Application gateways Local network gateways Virtual network gateways On-premises Data Gateways Azure Data Box Gateway Azure Stack Edge/Data box Gateway Web Application FIrewall policies
Local network gateways A Local Network Gateway is an object in Azure that represents your on-premise VPN device. A Virtual Network Gateway is the VPN object at the Azure end of the VPN. A connection is what connects the Local Network Gateway and the Virtual Network Gateway to bring up the VPN. The local network gateway typically refers to your on-premises location. You give the site a name by which Azure can refer to it, then specify the IP address of the on-premises VPN device to which you will create a connection. You also specify the IP address prefixes that will be routed through the VPN gateway to the VPN device. The address prefixes you specify are the prefixes located on your on-premises network. If your on-premises network changes or you need to change the public IP address for the VPN device, you can easily update the values later.

Otherwise, select No.NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.Hot Area: Statements: Azure Pay-As-You-Go pricing is an example of CapEx. Yes/No Paying electricity for your datacenter is an example of OpEx. Yes/No Deploying your own datacenter is an example of CapEx. Yes/No
One of the major changes that you will face when you move from on-premises cloud to the public cloud is the switch from capital expenditure (buying hardware) to operating expenditure (paying for service as you use it). Box 1: No - With the pay-as-go model, you pay for services as you use them. This is Opex (Operational Expenditure), not CapEx (Captial Expenditure). CapEx is where you pay for something upfront. For example, buying a new physical server. Box 2: No - Paying for electricity for your own datacenter will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx. Box 3: Yes - Deploying your own datacenter is an example of CapEx. This is because you need to purchase all the infrastructure upfront before you can use it.
To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area. Hot Area: You have several virtual machines in an Azure subscription. You create a new subscription. The virtual machines cannot be moved to the new subscription. The virtual machines can be moved to the new subscription. The virtual machines can be moved to the new subscription only if they are all in the same resource group. The virtual machines can be moved to the new subscription only if they run Windows Server 2016.
The virtual machines can be moved to the new subscription. You can move a VM and its associated resources to a different subscription by using the Azure portal. Moving between subscriptions can be handy if you originally created a VM in a personal subscription and now want to move it to your company's subscription to continue your work. You do not need to start the VM in order to move it and it should continue to run during the move.
To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area. Hot Area: When you are implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, you are responsible for: configuring high availability. defining scalability rules. installing the SaaS solution. configuring the SaaS solution.
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 provider'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.

To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area. Hot Area: An organization that hosts its infrastructure __________ no longer requires a data center. in a private cloud in a hybrid cloud in the public cloud on a Hyper-V host
in the public cloud A private cloud is hosted in your datacenter. Therefore, you cannot close your datacenter if you are using a private cloud. A public cloud is hosted externally, for example, in Microsoft Azure. An organization that hosts its infrastructure in a public cloud can close its data center. Public cloud is the most common deployment model. In this case, you have no local hardware to manage or keep up-to-date - everything runs on your cloud provider's hardware. Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud provider. In a private cloud, you create a cloud environment in your own datacenter and provide self-service access to compute resources to users in your organization. This offers a simulation of a public cloud to your users, but you remain completely responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the hardware and software services you provide.
