Azure Policy First, it shows you how compliant your Azure subscriptions are. This is based on policies that you create in a service called, naturally, Azure Policy. For example, if someone in your organization creates a subscription that doesn't have your regulatory policy controls assigned to it, then it will show up in this compliance panel.

Which of the following statements about Azure cost and VM management is true? Resources themselves do not cost anything. The resource groups containing them incur charges. When a VM is stopped (deallocated), it will not incur any more charges. If you need to move a VM reservation to another region, you have to make a new reservation and exchange the old one for the new one. Deleting a VM automatically deletes all its data disks and public IP addresses as well.

Azure App Service

Which Azure service automates the deployment of complete Azure environments, including policies and permissions? Azure Blueprints Azure Advisor Azure Policy Azure Migrate

Azure Blueprints Azure Blueprints automates the deployment of entire Azure environments. A blueprint is a collection of Azure Resource Manager templates plus a few other details, such as policies and user permissions. When a blueprint is assigned to a subscription, it not only automates the creation of an environment, but it also keeps a record of the deployment. This makes it a critical governance tool because it enables the tracking and auditing of deployments.

Which service simplifies the process of configuring, deploying, and managing a simple containerized application on the Azure cloud? Azure Container Instances Azure Functions Azure App Service Azure Pipelines

Azure Container Instances Containers are somewhat like virtual machines except they don't include the operating system. This makes it easy to deploy them because they're very lightweight compared to virtual machines. In fact, containers run on virtual machines. Microsoft provides a variety of ways to run containers. The simplest way is to use Azure Container Instances. This service lets you run a container using a single command.

You have designed lines of code ideal for deployment as individual, event-based functions. What Azure compute service should you use to deploy your code? Azure Functions Azure Virtual Machines Azure Kubernetes Service Azure App Service

Azure Functions It's called Azure Functions, and it's Microsoft's main "serverless" offering. Azure Functions is kind of like Azure App Service except that it executes individual functions rather than entire applications, and you only pay for it when it gets used. When you provision an App Service instance, it runs until you shut it down, and you pay for it the whole time it's running. Although it's possible to configure Azure Functions in the same way, it's usually better to use the Consumption plan, which means that it only uses resources when a function is running, so you only pay when a function is running.

If you have built a complex microservice application with multiple types of containers working together, which Azure compute service would you choose to host your application on the Azure cloud? Azure Kubernetes Service Azure Container Instances Azure App Service Azure Functions

Azure Kubernetes Service Microsoft provides a variety of ways to run containers. If you have a more complex application that involves multiple containers, then you'll probably want to use Azure Kubernetes Service, which is what's known as a container orchestrator. It makes it easy to deploy and manage multi-container applications.

Which of the following routes is not an option for purchasing Azure subscriptions? Cloud Solution Provider enterprise agreement Azure Marketplace Web Direct

Azure Marketplace

Which Azure service can help you specifically manage the process of moving on-premise applications to the Azure cloud? Azure Migrate Azure Functions Azure Monitor Azure Active Directory

Azure Migrate If your organization is just getting started with Azure, then one of the first things you'll want to do is figure out how you can migrate at least some of your existing applications to Azure. Microsoft provides a great tool for this called Azure Migrate. First, it discovers your on-premises servers, both physical and virtual. On the virtual side, this includes both Hyper-V and VMware. Then it assesses these machines. For each one, it tells you whether or not it's ready to migrate, how big the Azure VM will be, how much it will cost, and any dependent servers that will also need to be migrated. When you're ready, it will even help you do the migration. Azure Migrate is also integrated with other tools to help you migrate SQL Server databases, web apps, and data. Also, if you have a virtual desktop infrastructure, there's a tool that will do an assessment to help you migrate it to Windows Virtual Desktop, which is hosted on Azure.

To enforce a wide variety of governance policies in Azure, you can use __________________. Azure Advisor Azure Resource Manager Azure Policy Azure Monitor

Azure Policy

The _____________________ is the graphic user interface (GUI) for Microsoft Azure that runs in a web browser. Azure Portal Azure Powershell Azure CLI Azure SDK

Azure Portal Suppose you have a server application that you want to migrate to the cloud. As I mentioned earlier, the most straightforward way to do this is to move the application to a virtual machine on Azure. There are many ways to interact with Azure, the Azure portal runs in a browser, so you don't need to install anything to use it. Alternatively, you can install the CLI, which stands for command-line interface, or Azure PowerShell or the SDK, which stands for Software Development Kit.

In what way is a private cloud model similar to a public cloud model? Both private and public cloud models physical hardware are managed by the end users hosting their applications on the hardware. In both private and public cloud models, the cloud infrastructure is hosted on the premises of a business using it. Using both private and public cloud will increase a business' capital expenditures to acquire hardware hosting the cloud. Both private and public cloud models use virtualization to differentiate themselves from traditional on-premise servers.

Both private and public cloud models use virtualization to differentiate themselves from traditional on-premise servers. The only correct statement is that both private and public cloud models use virtualization to differentiate themselves from traditional on-premise servers.

In the shared responsibility model, which areas are the sole responsibility of public cloud customers for SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services? (Choose 2 answers) Client device security Data protection Network hardware Physical security of public cloud infrastructure

Client device security Data protection The security of the client device that is being used by customers (mobile device, PC, etc.) to access cloud applications is the customer's responsibility. Data protection is the responsibility of the customer, although the customer can use some cloud services to help protect its data. Network security is a shared responsibility. The cloud vendor provides a fundamental level of network security, while the customer is responsible for configuring certain types of network security in IaaS and PaaS models. Maintenance of the server operating system is handled by the customer in the IaaS model and is handled by the cloud vendor in PaaS and SaaS models.

What is the most accurate definition of cloud computing? Cloud computing is a pool of servers offering compute resources that are designed to be issued exclusively to individual tenants (users and organizations). Cloud computing is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering compute, storage, and network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale. Cloud computing is a term used to describe virtualized technology. Cloud computing is a physical pool of compute, storage, and network resources that cannot be accessed over the internet.

Cloud computing is a remote virtual pool of on-demand shared resources offering compute, storage, and network services that can be rapidly deployed at scale. Cloud Computing is based on Virtualization technology and therefore provides virtual pools of compute, storage and network resources that can be accessed over the internet to shared tenants which can be quickly deployed into new and existing environments. The incorrect answers here either refer to physical pools or resources, or individual tenants, which isn't accurate when describing Cloud Computing.

Egress traffic that consists of a transfer to a different region incurs a cost. Egress traffic that consists of a transfer within the same region incurs a cost. Ingress traffic is free.

Egress traffic that consists of a transfer within the same region incurs a cost. When you transfer data to an Azure resource, it's known as ingress traffic, and the cost is free. When you transfer data from an Azure resource, it's known as egress traffic, and there's often a cost. If you transfer within the same region, it's free, but if you transfer to another region or to a location outside of the Azure network, then there's a cost.

Which of the following cloud computing concepts refers to increasing or decreasing compute resources based on demand? Elasticity Fault tolerance Load balancing High availability

Elasticity Elasticity is the degree to which a system is able to adapt to workload changes by provisioning and de-provisioning resources in an automated manner, such that at each point in time the available resources match the current demand as closely as possible. Fault tolerance refers to the ability of an application to keep running even if some of its components fail. Load balancing is a core networking solution used to distribute traffic across multiple servers in a server farm. Load balancers improve application availability and responsiveness and prevent server overload. High availability is similar to fault tolerance. It refers to the ability of an application to keep running for an agreed-upon percentage of time, such as 99.99% of the time.

An organization plans to migrate its existing on-premises web servers to the Azure cloud. They want to control and access web server operating systems and install proprietary development tools, database management systems, business analytics software on these servers. Which cloud deployment model should they implement? Serverless IaaS PaaS SaaS

IaaS IaaS is the most basic category of cloud computing services. With IaaS, a customer rents IT infrastructure—servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems—from a cloud provider on a pay-as-you-go basis. Running websites using IaaS can be less expensive than traditional web hosting.

You have been hired as an IT summer intern for a small, but quickly expanding, restaurant chain. The restaurant chain owner wants to expand her online presence by creating a website that will add more online features such as downloadable menus, real-time reservations, online ordering, web-based email, and a possible interactive chat during restaurant hours. The website will have high access demands from the 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm peak hours, and slower access demands during off-peak hours. The owner does not have any IT experience, and does not want to become involved in the extra work of maintaining IT equipment. What do you recommend she do? Implement a hybrid cloud-computing environment. Implement a private cloud-computing environment. Implement a public cloud-computing environment. Implement a matrixed cloud-computing environment.

Implement a public cloud-computing environment. Public clouds utilize cloud resources (like servers and storage) that are owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider and delivered over the Internet. With a public cloud, all hardware, software, and other supporting infrastructure are owned and managed by the cloud provider. The public cloud model provides several advantages for the restaurant chain owner. First, there are lower costs because there is no need to purchase hardware or software, and you pay only for the service you use. Second, there are no maintenance issues as your service provider provides the maintenance. Third, there is near-unlimited scalability because on-demand resources are available to meet the business's needs. Fourth, there is high reliability because a vast network of servers ensures against failure.

Migration to the cloud presents numerous potential benefits, but it will not solve all of a business's challenges. Which of the following is not an immediate benefit provided by the cloud? Improved application performance Utility-based metering On-demand resourcing Economy of scale

Improved application performance Economy of scale, on-demand resourcing, and utility-based metering are each available in the public cloud, but improved application performance is not guaranteed by hosting one's services in the cloud. Optimization, experimentation, and innovation may be easier to implement, depending on your application's requirements, but this still requires a dedicated team to review and redesign an application to gain the true benefits of the cloud.

Which service model allows you to configure and customize your environment from the base up? Software as a Service (SaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) 'Anything' as a Service (XaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) IaaS provides the greatest level of customization as you can configure the environment from the ground up, starting from which operating system to install and up. Other service models have fixed components which you are unable to change or manage.

The ___________________ cloud service model offers the greatest amount of user customization and control, but requires the greatest amount of user administration including the operating system, but not physical hardware. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Traditional on-premise

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) The IaaS cloud service model allows the highest level of customization and management, where users can architect their own portion of the cloud within a virtual network, and then deploy virtual machines which they configure from the operating system layer and above.

It is the best choice for creating customized apps. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides complete control over the data, apps, middleware, operating system Automated hardware deployment Virtualized management workload Function as a Service (FaaS) Helps the developers in running and managing the microservices Facilitates event-based-triggered code execution Software as a Service (SaaS) Provides subscription-based model No control over the infrastructure to users An apt choice for short-term projects requiring collaboration

Which of the following Azure tools allows you to make detailed cost estimates for running Azure services such as Cosmos DB, Cognitive Services, and Azure App Service? Pricing Calculator Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator Azure Advisor Azure Cost Management Tool

Pricing Calculator The Pricing Calculator tool is an excellent online tool to assist in estimating your Azure costs. This tool allows you to select and estimate the costs of deploying resources to Azure. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator helps with estimating the cost savings of moving workloads from your on-premises environment to Azure. It cannot generate cost estimates for services such as Cosmos DB and Cognitive Services that handle workloads that are not typically found in on-premises environments. Azure Cost Management tells you your actual costs for Azure services you have been using. It does not give cost estimates. Azure Advisor helps you identify potential cost savings in your Azure environment, but it isn't a general pricing tool.

One can argue that security on the public cloud is superior to on-premise security. Why is this? (Choose 2 answers) Public cloud vendor services must meet international security requirements. Public cloud vendor services must meet multiple business industries' security and governance requirements. Public cloud vendor datacenters use superior security technology. Public cloud vendor services are entirely separate from the public internet.

Public cloud vendor services must meet international security requirements. Public cloud vendor services must meet multiple business industries' security and governance requirements. Security is one of the most discussed topics within cloud computing, and many enterprises still have concerns over how secure it is. However, public cloud vendors such as AWS and Microsoft Azure are considered to be more secure than your own data center. This is down to the fact that they have to adhere to global compliance programs across multiple industries and by applying the shared responsibility model.

What is a key benefit of Virtualization? Increased operational cost Quicker remote connectivity Reduced network latency Reduced capital expenditure

You are an Azure administrator for an organization. You want to find out whether there is a problem with one of the virtual machines (VMs) in your environment.Which monitoring feature should you use? Email alerts Metrics Application Insights Resource Health

Resource Health A resource is a specific instance of an Azure service, such as a virtual machine, web app, or SQL Database. Resource Health relies on signals from different Azure services to assess whether a resource is healthy. If a resource is unhealthy, Resource Health analyzes additional information to determine the source of the problem. It also reports on actions that Microsoft is taking to fix the problem and identifies things that you can do to address it. Alerts are used to monitor resource and application performance rather than the health of a specific VM. Alerts consist of the following types: Metric alerts Metric alerts evaluate resource metrics at regular intervals. Metrics can be platform metrics, custom metrics, logs from Azure Monitor converted to metrics or Application Insights metrics. Metric alerts have several additional features, such as the ability to apply multiple conditions and dynamic thresholds. Log alerts Log alerts allow users to use a Log Analytics query to evaluate resource logs at a predefined frequency. Activity log alerts Activity log alerts are triggered when a new activity log event occurs that matches the defined conditions. Smart detection alerts Smart detection on an Application Insights resource automatically warns you of potential performance problems and failure anomalies in your web application. You can migrate smart detection on your Application Insights resource to create alert rules for the different smart detection modules. Application Insights is a feature of Azure Monitor that provides extensible application performance management (APM) and monitoring for live web apps, not VMs. Developers and DevOps professionals can use Application Insights to: Automatically detect performance anomalies. Help diagnose issues by using powerful analytics tools. See what users actually do with apps. Help continuously improve app performance and usability. Application Insights: Supports a wide variety of platforms, including .NET, Node.js, Java, and Python. Works for apps hosted on-premises, hybrid, or on any public cloud. Integrates with DevOps processes. Has connection points to many development tools. Can monitor and analyze telemetry from mobile apps by integrating with Visual Studio App Center

As the company outlines the design plan for the application, which of the following features of cloud computing would address this requirement? scalability elasticity high availability agility

agility One of major benefits of the cloud is that it allows you to quickly scale. For example, if you need more VMs, all you have to do is tell Azure how many VMs you want and Azure takes care of allocating the resources for you. This kind of speed and flexibility in the cloud is often called cloud agility. With agility, cloud-based resources can be deployed and configured quickly as your application requirements change.

Which of the following is not available for virtual machines in all Azure regions? availability zones availability sets update domains fault domains

availability zones An availability zone is a physically separate zone within an Azure region. So, if one zone goes down, then the other zones will likely still be up. Not every region offers availability zones, but in the ones that do, there are always three of them. To take advantage of this capability, you should deploy multiple replicas of your application's VMs in different availability zones. You can specify a particular availability zone when you create each VM.

Deploy your application resources into separate ____________________ if you want them to remain available in the event of a data center outage. availability sets availability zones scale sets resource groups

availability zones Availability sets offer protection against different types of failures and maintenance in a single data center, but availability zones offer protection against the failure of an entire data center because you've distributed resources among multiple data centers.

Which of the following options is not one of Azure's three levels of management that make it easier to track costs separately? resource groups management groups billing groups subscriptions

billing groups Azure provides three levels of management that you can use to make it easier to track costs separately: management groups, subscriptions, and resource groups.

The public cloud allows you to pay only for the time that you use cloud resources, not for the cost of ownership. This concept is known as ________________. consumption-based metering shared infrastructure economy of scale scalability

consumption-based metering Consumption-based metering simply means you pay for what you use. Public cloud vendors offer different services at different units of time, some reserved for multiple years, and others charged based on milliseconds.

As a cloud-computing expert at a local IT consulting firm, you have been asked by your manager to travel to a potential new client's site to give a presentation on the different types of cloud computing models with the hope that your firm can earn the account. You learn that the prospective account manufactures candy. The CEO is nervous about moving to the cloud and wants to migrate slowly because of the upcoming Halloween candy sales over the next three months. Yet she wants to be able to handle the upcoming surge in orders flawlessly with reduced capital expenditures (capex). Which model should you focus on in your presentation? private public matrix hybrid

hybrid A hybrid cloud is a computing environment that combines a public cloud and a private cloud by allowing data and applications to be shared between them. When computing and processing demand fluctuates, hybrid cloud computing gives businesses the ability to seamlessly scale their on-premises infrastructure up to the public cloud to handle any overflow--without giving third-party data centers access to the entirety of their data. Using a hybrid cloud helps eliminate the need to make up-front capital expenditures to handle short-term spikes in demand. It also has the flexibility to manage which resources are local versus in the cloud. Companies pay only for resources they temporarily use instead of having to purchase, program, and maintain additional resources and equipment that could remain idle over long periods of time. Finally, transitioning to the cloud does not have to be overwhelming because the organization can migrate gradually—phasing in workloads over time.

A business uses a combination of vendor-managed hardware, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and its own hardware on premises to host virtualized resources. This is an example of the ___________ cloud deployment model. public private hybrid traditional on-premise

hybrid In the hybrid cloud deployment model involves using private and public cloud services models. This can be done for disaster recovery, or to manage seasonal burst traffic. This approach provides the costs and benefits of both models at the same time, and is usually a short-term configuration as a business transitions to the public cloud.

Azure's Total Cost of Ownership Calculator _____. allows you to compare costs over any time period between 6 months and 10 years requires an Azure subscription to use uses industry averages for on-premises costs involves only two steps: first, define your workloads; second, view the report

uses industry averages for on-premises costs Fortunately, Microsoft provides a useful tool called the Total Cost of Ownership, or TCO, Calculator. It uses industry averages for on-premises costs, and of course, the equivalent costs on Azure. There are three steps to using it. First, define your workloads. Second, adjust the assumptions used by the TCO Calculator. Third, view the report. You can choose any time period between one and five years to compare the costs. You don't need to have an Azure subscription to access it, of course, because the whole idea is to use it before you migrate your workloads to Azure.

What is an Azure resource group? An Azure-defined set of Azure resources located in the same region. A container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. A user-defined set of Azure resources located in the same availability zone. A JSON file used to deploy Azure resources.

A container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. A resource group holds related resources for an Azure solution. It can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. You decide how you want to allocate resources to resource groups based on what makes the most sense for your organization.

Which blob access storage tier would you use when dealing with a large amount of data that is rarely used, and mainly stored for compliance or tax purposes? Hot Cool Archive Deep Archive

Archive Blob storage has multiple access tiers: hot, cool, and archive. The hot tier is for frequently accessed files. The cool tier is for files you expect to access only about once a month or less. The advantage is that it costs less than the hot tier as long as you don't access it frequently. The archive tier is for files that are rarely accessed, such as backup files. It has the lowest storage costs but the highest retrieval costs. It also takes several hours to retrieve files from the archive tier.
