__________________________ is the process of verifying a user's credentials. Authorization Authentication Federation Ticketing

Authentication Authentication, not authorization is the process of verifying a user's credentials. The difference between authentication and authorization is: Authentication is proving your identity, proving that you are who you say you are. The most common example of this is logging in to a system by providing credentials such as a username and password. Authorization is what you're allowed to do once you've been authenticated. For example, what resources you're allowed to access and what you can do with those resources.

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. A. multiple subscriptions B. multiple Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) directories C. multiple regions D. multiple resource groups

Correct Answer: AD multiple subscriptions multiple resource groups 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.

Correct Answer: B There are different payment options in Azure including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts.Your Azure costs are "˜per subscription'. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. Therefore, to use different payment options per department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can create multiple subscriptions in a single Azure Active Directory tenant.Incorrect Answers:A: A reservation is where you commit to a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period. Reservations do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.C: A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. You can view the total cost of all the resources in a resource group. However, resource groups do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.D: A container instance is an Azure resource used to run an application. Container instances do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.Reference:

To what should an application connect to retrieve security tokens? A. an Azure Storage account B. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) C. a certificate store D. an Azure key vault

Correct Answer: B Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Azure AD authenticates users and provides access tokens. An access token is a security token that is issued by an authorization server. It contains information about the user and the app for which the token is intended, which can be used to access Web APIs and other protected resources.Instead of creating apps that each maintain their own username and password information, which incurs a high administrative burden when you need to add or remove users across multiple apps, apps can delegate that responsibility to a centralized identity provider. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a centralized identity provider in the cloud. Delegating authentication and authorization to it enables scenarios such as Conditional Access policies that require a user to be in a specific location, the use of multi-factor authentication, as well as enabling a user to sign in once and then be automatically signed in to all of the web apps that share the same centralized directory. This capability is referred to as Single Sign On (SSO).

Sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) C. Instruct all users to change their password D. Create a guest user account in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for each user

Correct Answer: B Sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) To migrate to Azure and decommission the on-premises data center, you would need to create the 5,000 user accounts in Azure Active Directory. The easy way to do this is to sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). You can even sync their passwords to further minimize the impact on users. The tool you would use to sync the accounts is Azure AD Connect. The Azure Active Directory Connect synchronization services (Azure AD Connect sync) is a main component of Azure AD Connect. It takes care of all the operations that are related to synchronize identity data between your on-premises environment and

Your company has an Azure subscription that contains resources in several regions. A company policy states that administrators must only be allowed to create additional Azure resources in a region in the country where their office is located. You need to create the Azure resource that must be used to meet the policy requirement. What should you create? A. a read-only lock B. an Azure policy C. a management group D. a reservation

Correct Answer: B an Azure policy 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.Azure Policy offers several built-in policies that are available by default. In this question, we would use the "˜Allowed Locations' policy to define the locations where resources can be deployed.

What can Azure Information Protection encrypt? A. network traffic B. documents and email messages C. an Azure Storage account D. an Azure SQL database

Correct Answer: B documents and email messages Azure Information Protection can encrypt documents and emails. Azure Information Protection is a cloud-based solution that helps an organization to classify and optionally, protect its documents and emails by applying labels. Labels can be applied automatically by administrators who define rules and conditions, manually by users, or a combination where users are given recommendations. The protection technology uses Azure Rights Management (often abbreviated to Azure RMS). This technology is integrated with other Microsoft cloud services and applications, such as Office 365 and Azure Active Directory. This protection technology uses encryption, identity, and authorization policies. Similarly to the labels that are applied, protection that is applied by using RightsManagement stays with the documents and emails, independently of the location "" inside or outside your organization, networks, file servers, and applications.

You have a resource group named RG1. You plan to create virtual networks and app services in RG1. You need to prevent the creation of virtual machines only in RG1. What should you use? A. a lock B. an Azure role C. a tag D. an Azure policy

Correct Answer: D an Azure policy 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. In this question, we would create an Azure policy assigned to the resource group that denies the creation of virtual machines in the resource group. You could place a read-only lock on the resource group. However, that would prevent the creation of any resources in the resource group, not virtual machines only. Therefore, an Azure Policy is a better solution.

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? Virtual networks Load Balancer DNS Zones Local network gateways Application Gateways network interfaces On-premises data gateways public ip addresses

Local Network Gateway 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 an 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.

You create a resource group named RG1 in Azure Resource Manager. You need to prevent the accidental deletion of the resources in RG1. Which setting should you use? To answer, select the appropriate setting in the answer area. Quick Start Resource Costs Deployments Policies Properties Locks Automation Scripts

Locks You can configure a lock on a resource group to prevent the accidental deletion. As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. You can set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-only respectively.CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource.✑ ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.

You plan to map a network drive from several computers that run Windows 10 to Azure Storage. You need to create a storage solution in Azure for the planned mapped drive. What should you create? A. an Azure SQL database B. a virtual machine data disk C. a Files service in a storage account D. a Blobs service in a storage account

Correct Answer: C a Files service in a storage account Azure Files is Microsoft's easy-to-use cloud file system. 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.

You plan to deploy a website to Azure. The website will be accessed by users worldwide and will host large video files. You need to recommend which Azure feature must be used to provide the best video playback experience. What should you recommend? A. an application gateway B. an Azure ExpressRoute circuit C. a content delivery network (CDN) D. an Azure Traffic Manager profile

Correct Answer: C a content delivery network (CDN) The question states that users are located worldwide and will be downloading large video files. The video playback experience would be improved if they can download the video from servers in the same region as the users. We can achieve this by using a content deliver network.A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that can efficiently deliver web content to users. CDNs store cached content on edge servers in point-of-presence (POP) locations that are close to end users, to minimize latency. Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers developers a global solution for rapidly delivering high-bandwidth content to users by caching their content at strategically placed physical nodes across the world. Azure CDN can also accelerate dynamic content, which cannot be cached, by leveraging various network optimizations using CDN POPs. For example, route optimization to bypass Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).The benefits of using Azure CDN to deliver web site assets include: Better performance and improved user experience for end users, especially when using applications in which multiple round-trips are required to load content. Large scaling to better handle instantaneous high loads, such as the start of a product launch event. Distribution of user requests and serving of content directly from edge servers so that less traffic is sent to the origin server.

You have an on-premises application that sends email notifications automatically based on a rule. You plan to migrate the application to Azure. You need to recommend a serverless computing solution for the application. What should you include in the recommendation? A. a web app B. a server image in Azure Marketplace C. a logic app D. an API app

Correct Answer: C a logic app Azure Logic Apps is a cloud service that helps you schedule, automate, and orchestrate tasks, business processes, and workflows when you need to integrate apps, data, systems, and services across enterprises or organizations. Logic Apps simplifies how you design and build scalable solutions for app integration, data integration, system integration, enterprise application integration (EAI), and business-to-business (B2B) communication, whether in the cloud, on premises, or both. For example, here are just a few workloads you can automate with logic apps: Process and route orders across on-premises systems and cloud services. Send email notifications with Office 365 when events happen in various systems, apps, and services. Move uploaded files from an SFTP or FTP server to Azure Storage. Monitor tweets for a specific subject, analyze the sentiment, and create alerts or tasks for items that need review.

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 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.

When you need to delegate permissions to several Azure virtual machines simultaneously you must deploy the Azure virtual machines ... A. to the same Azure region B. by using the same Azure resource manager template C. to the same resource group D. to the same availability zone

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

Correct Answer: 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.

You have an application that is comprised of an Azure web app that has a SLA of 99.95% and an azure SQL database that has an SLA of 99.99%. The Composite SLA for the application is: The product of both SLA, which is 99.94% the lowest SLA which is 99.95% the highest SLA, which is 99.99% the difference between the two SLAs, whcih is 0.05%

The product of both SLA, which is 99.94% Composite SLAs involve multiple services supporting an application, each with differing levels of availability. For example, consider an App Service web app that writes to Azure SQL Database. At the time of this writing, these Azure services have the following SLAs:✑ App Service web apps = 99.95%✑ SQL Database = 99.99%What is the maximum downtime you would expect for this application? If either service fails, the whole application fails. The probability of each service failing is independent, so the composite SLA for this application is 99.95% × 99.99% = 99.94%. That's lower than the individual SLAs, which isn't surprising because an application that relies on multiple services has more potential failure points.

An organization that hosts its infrastructure in x no longer requires a data center. (Choose one for x) 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.

Data that is stored in the Archive access tier of an Azure Storage Account _______________. can be accessed at any time by using azcopy.exe can only be read by using azure backup must be restored before the data can be accessed must be rehydrated before the data can be accessed

must be rehydrated before the data can be accessed Azure storage offers different access tiers: hot, cool and archive. The archive access tier has the lowest storage cost. But it has higher data retrieval costs compared to the hot and cool tiers. Data in the archive tier can take several hours to retrieve. While a blob is in archive storage, the blob data is offline and can't be read, overwritten, or modified. To read or download a blob in archive, you must first rehydrate it to an online tier. Example usage scenarios for the archive access tier include: Long-term backup, secondary backup, and archival datasets. Original (raw) data that must be preserved, even after it has been processed into final usable form. Compliance and archival data that needs to be stored for a long time and is hardly ever accessed.

the delete lock must be removed before an administrator You can configure a lock on a resource group to prevent the accidental deletion of the resource group. The lock applies to everyone, including global administrators. If you want to delete the resource group, the lock must be removed first. As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. You can set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-only respectively. CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource. ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.
