A. B. C. D. - All are correct

Scalability and performance patterns and practices Many types of applications require background tasks that run independently of the user interface (UI). Examples include batch jobs, intensive processing tasks, and long-running processes such as workflows. Background jobs can be executed without requiring user interaction--the application can start the job and then continue to process interactive requests from users. This can help to minimize the load on the application UI, which can improve availability and reduce interactive response times. This describes which practice and pattern: A. Decouple resource-intensive tasks as background jobs B. Caching C. Auto Scaling D. Data partitioning E. none of these

A great architecture starts with a solid foundation built on four pillars: What are the four pillars?

Security Performance and scalability Availability and recoverability Efficiency and operations

Application availability refers to what? The service level agreement of the associated resource. Application support for an availability zone. The overall time that a system is functional and working.

The overall time that a system is functional and working.

At each layer, there are some common attacks that you will want to protect against. These are not all-inclusive, but can give you an idea of how each layer can be attacked and what types of protections you may need to look at. Malware is a common method of attacking an environment, which involves executing malicious code to compromise a system. Once malware is present on a system, further attacks leading to credential exposure and lateral movement throughout the environment can occur.

VM/compute layer: Malware is a common method of attacking an environment, which involves executing malicious code to compromise a system. Once malware is present on a system, further attacks leading to credential exposure and lateral movement throughout the environment can occur.

You can ensure your application can handle localized failures by integrating high availability into each component of an application and eliminating_______________ ____________ of failure. Such a design also minimizes the impact of infrastructure maintenance.

Scalability and performance patterns and practices Distributed applications and services running in the cloud are, by their nature, complex pieces of software that comprise many moving parts. In a production environment, it's important to be able to track the way in which users utilize your system, trace resource utilization, and generally monitor the health and performance of your system. You can use this information as a __________________ aid to detect and correct issues, and also to help spot potential problems and prevent them from occurring.

diagnostic

Scaling out is concerned with ___________________ additional instances to a service. These can be virtual machines or PaaS services, but instead of adding more capacity by making a single instance more powerful, we add capacity by increasing the overall total number of instances. The advantage of scaling out is that you can conceivably scale out forever if you have more machines to add to the architecture. Scaling out requires some type of load distribution. This could be in the form of a load balancer distributing requests across available servers, or a service discovery mechanism for identifying active servers to send requests to.

adding

Designing for ____________________ focuses on maintaining uptime through small-scale incidents and temporary conditions like partial network outages.

■ A Switch between the Explorer and Accounts views. ■ B Browse your storage accounts and/or other local or remote Azure assets. ■ C View properties of selected item; the Actions window displays the same option as right-clicking an object. ■ D Multitab interface to view more than one storage object simultaneously. ■ E Robust toolbar with upload/download/query controls. ■ F Get into the habit of right-clicking objects to see which actions are possible.
