This dedicated subnet is known as a gateway subnet and must be named "˜GatewaySubnet"™.Note: a virtual network (answer D) is also required. However, as we already have virtual machines deployed in a Azure, we can assume that the virtual network is already in place.

Scalability

Apps in the cloud can scale vertically and horizontally: Scale vertically to increase compute capacity by adding RAM or CPUs to a virtual machine. Scaling horizontally increases compute capacity by adding instances of resources, such as adding VMs to the configuration.

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.

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

B. 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 asConditional 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).

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

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 need to ensure that when Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users connect to Azure AD from the Internet by using an anonymous IP address, the users are prompted automatically to change their password. Which Azure service should you use? A. Azure AD Connect Health B. Azure AD Privileged Identity Management C. Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) D. Azure AD Identity Protection

D. Azure AD Identity Protection Azure AD Identity Protection includes two risk policies: sign-in risk policy and user risk policy. A sign-in risk represents the probability that a given authentication request isn"™t authorized by the identity owner.There are several types of risk detection. One of them is Anonymous IP Address. This risk detection type indicates sign-ins from an anonymous IP address (for example, Tor browser or anonymous VPN). These IP addresses are typically used by actors who want to hide their login telemetry (IP address, location, device, etc.) for potentially malicious intent.You can configure the sign-in risk policy to require that users change their password.

You can enable Just In Time (JIT) VM access by using A. Azure Bastion B. Azure Firewall C. Azure front door D. Azure Security Center

D. DDoS Protection DDoS is a type of attack that tries to exhaust application resources. The goal is to affect the application"™s availability and its ability to handle legitimate requests.DDoS attacks can be targeted at any endpoint that is publicly reachable through the internet.Azure has two DDoS service offerings that provide protection from network attacks: DDoS Protection Basic and DDoS Protection Standard.DDoS Basic protection is integrated into the Azure platform by default and at no extra cost.You have the option of paying for DDoS Standard. It has several advantages over the basic service, including logging, alerting, and telemetry. DDoS Standard can generate reports that contain details of attempted attacks as required in this question.

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. Hybrid cloud 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).References:

It's a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability.You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and virtual networks. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual network resources allowing outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network.

Azure Key Vault is used to store secrets for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) user accounts. 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. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) administrative accounts C. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) D. server applications

D. Server applications Centralizing storage of application secrets in Azure Key Vault allows you to control their distribution. Key Vault greatly reduces the chances that secrets may be accidentally leaked. When using Key Vault, application developers no longer need to store security information in their application. Not having to store security information in applications eliminates the need to make this information part of the code. For example, an application may need to connect to a database. Instead of storing the connection string in the app's code, you can store it securely in Key Vault.

Your company plans to migrate all on-premises data to Azure.You need to identify whether Azure complies with the company"™s regional requirements.What should you use? A. the Knowledge Center B. Azure Marketplace C. the Azure portal D. the Trust Center

Describe the service lifecycle in Azure

Defines how every Azure service is released for public use. Every Azure service starts in the development phase. In this phase, the Azure team collects and defines its requirements, and begins to build the service. Next, the service is released to the public preview phase. During this phase, the public can access and experiment with it so that it can provide feedback. Your feedback helps Microsoft improve services. More importantly, providing feedback gives you the opportunity to request new or different capabilities so that services better meet your needs. After a new Azure service is validated and tested, it's released to all customers as a production-ready service. This is known as general availability (GA). Dev --> Public Preview --> General Availability

A cloud service that can be recovered after a failure occurs A. Fault Tolerance B. Disaster Recovery C. Low Latency D. Dynamic Scalability

Disaster Recovery Disaster recovery is the recovery of a service after a failure. For example, restoring a virtual machine from backup after a virtual machine failure.

A cloud service that performs quickly when demand increases A. Fault Tolerance B. Disaster Recovery C. Low Latency D. Dynamic Scalability

Dynamic Scalability 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.

False

T/F copying 10 GB of data TO Azure FROM an on prem network over a VPN generates additional azure data transfer costs

False

T/F A PaaS solution that hosts web apps in azure provides full control of the operating systems that host applications

False A PaaS solution does not provide access to the operating system. The Azure Web Apps service provides an environment for you to host your web applications. Behind the scenes, the web apps are hosted on virtual machines running IIS. However, you have no direct access to the virtual machine, the operating system or IIS.

T/F A NSG will encrypt all the traffic sent from Azure to the Internet

False A network security group does not encrypt network traffic. It works in a similar way to a firewall in that it is used to block or allow traffic based on source/ destination IP address, source/destination ports and protocol.

T/F Azure Reserved VM instances are an ex of OpEx

False A reserved instance is where you pay upfront for the use of a virtual machine for a period of time (1 or 3 years). This can save you money as you receive a discount on the cost of a VM if you pay upfront for a reserved instance. However, as this is an upfront payment, it will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx.

T/F Azure resources can only access other resources in the same RG

False A resource can interact with resources in other resource groups.

T/F Azure subscription can be associated to multiple Azure AD tenants

False An Azure AD tenant can have multiple subscriptions but an Azure subscription can only be associated with one Azure AD tenant.

T/F a standard support plan is included in a free azure account

False An Azure free account comes with a "˜basic"™ support plan, not a "˜standard"™ support plan.

T/F authorization to access azure resources can be provided only to azure AD users

False Authorization to access Azure resources can be provided by other identity providers by using federation. A commonly used example of this is to federate your on- premises Active Directory environment with Azure AD and use this federation for authentication and authorization.

T/F availability zones are used to replicate data and apps to multiple regions

False Availability Zones is a high-availability offering that protects your applications and data from datacenter failures. 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"™s 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. Zone-redundant services replicate your applications and data across Availability Zones to protect from single-points-of-failure. With AvailabilityZones, Azure offers industry best 99.99% VM uptime SLA.

T/F Azure Advisor can generate a list of azure VMs that are protected by Azure backup

False Azure Advisor does not generate a list of virtual machines that ARE protected by Azure Backup. Azure Advisor does however, generate a list of virtual that ARENOT protected by Azure Backup. You can view a list of virtual machines that are protected by Azure Backup by viewing the Protected Items in the Azure RecoveryServices Vault.

Azure advisor provides recs on how to improve the security of an azure active directory environment

False Azure Advisor provides you with a consistent, consolidated view of recommendations for all your Azure resources. It integrates with Azure Security Center to bring you security recommendations. You can get security recommendations from the Security tab on the Advisor dashboard. Examples of recommendations include restricting access to virtual machines by configuring Network Security Groups, enabling storage encryption, installing vulnerability assessment solutions. However, Azure Advisor does not provide recommendations on how to improve the security of an Azure AD environment.

T/F Azure Firewall will encrypt all the network traffic sent from Azure to the Internet

False Azure firewall does not encrypt network traffic. It is used to block or allow traffic based on source/destination IP address, source/destination ports and protocol.

T/F an azure free account can contain an unlimited number of web apps

False Azure free account has a limit of 10 web, mobile or API apps

True or False: All the Azure resources deployed to a resource group must use the same Azure Region

False Azure resources deployed to a single resource group can be located in different regions. The resource group only contains metadata about the resources it contains.When creating a resource group, you need to provide a location for that resource group. You may be wondering, "Why does a resource group need a location?And, if the resources can have different locations than the resource group, why does the resource group location matter at all?" The resource group stores metadata about the resources. When you specify a location for the resource group, you're specifying where that metadata is stored. For compliance reasons, you may need to ensure that your data is stored in a particular region.

T/F Azure services in public preview can be manged only by using the Azure CLI

False Azure services in public preview can be managed using the regular management tools: Azure Portal, Azure CLI and PowerShell.

T/F by copying several gigs of data to Azure from an on-prem network over a VPN, additional data transfer costs are incurred

False Data ingress over a VPN is data "˜coming in"™ to Azure over the VPN. You are not charged data transfer costs for data ingress.

T/F All data copied to azure storage account is backed up automatically to another azure data center

False Data is not backed up automatically to another Azure Data Center although it can be depending on the replication option configured for the account. LocallyRedundant Storage (LRS) is the default which maintains three copies of the data in the data center.Geo-redundant storage (GRS) has cross-regional replication to protect against regional outages. Data is replicated synchronously three times in the primary region, then replicated asynchronously to the secondary region.

T/F If you implement the security recs provided by Azure Advisor your company's secure score will decrease

False If you implement the security recommendations, you company"™s score will increase, not decrease.

T/F when an azure subscription expires the associated Azure AD tenant is deleted automatically

False If your subscription expires, you lose access to all the other resources associated with the subscription. However, the Azure AD directory remains in Azure. You can associate and manage the directory using a different Azure subscription.

T/F to implement a hybrid cloud model, a company must first have a private cloud

False It is not true that a company must always migrate from a private cloud model or must first have a private cloud 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.

T/F a private cloud must be disconnected from the internet

False 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.

T/F To implement an Azure MFA solution, you must deploy a federation solution or sync on-premises identities to the cloud

False It is not true that you must deploy a federation solution or sync on-premises identities to the cloud. You can have a cloud-only environment and use MFA.

T/F the SLA for azure ad premium p2 is the same as the SLA for azure AD free

False No SLA is provided for the Free tier of Azure Active Directory.

T/F North America is represented by a single Azure region

False North America has several Azure regions, including West US, Central US, South Central US, East Us, and Canada East.

T/F only VMs that run windows server can be created in availability zones

False Regions that support availability zones support Linux virtual machines.

T/F by creating additional resource groups in an azure subscription, additional costs are incurred

False Resource groups are logical containers for Azure resources. You do not pay for resource groups.

T/F The cost of an azure service in private preview decreases when the service becomes GA

False Services in private or public preview are usually offered at reduced costs. However, the costs increase, not decrease when the services are released to general availability. Next Question

T/F All azure services in private preview must be accessed using a separate azure portal

False Services in private preview can be viewed in the regular Azure portal. However, you need to be signed up for the feature in private preview before you can view it.Access to private preview features is usually by invitation only.

If you assign a tag to a resource group, all the azure resources in that group are assigned to the same tag

False Tags for Resources are not inherited by default from their Resource Group

T/F An azure storage account can contain up to 2 TB of data and up to one million files

False The limits are much higher than that. The current storage limit is 2 PB for US and Europe, and 500 TB for all other regions (including the UK) with no limit on the number of files.

T/F companies can increase the SLA by purchasing multiple subscriptions

False The number of subscriptions is unrelated to uptime SLA"™s. You can deploy resources to multiple regions under a single subscription or you can have multiple subscriptions with resources deployed to the same region.

T/F Azure VMs that run Windows Server 2016 can encrypt network traffic sent to the internet

False The question is rather vague as it would depend on the configuration of the host on the Internet. Windows Server does come with a VPN client and it also supports other encryption methods such IPSec encryption or SSL/TLS so it could encrypt the traffic if the Internet host was configured to require or accept the encryption.However, the VM could not encrypt the traffic to an Internet host that is not configured to require the encryption.

Resource Groups

Resources are combined into resource groups, which act as a logical container into which Azure resources like web apps, databases, and storage accounts are deployed and managed.

Resources

Resources are instances of services that you create, like virtual machines, storage, or SQL databases.

Azure SQL Managed Instance

Scalable cloud data service that provides the broadest SQL Server database engine compatibility with all the benefits of a fully managed platform as a service.

Public Cloud

Services are offered over the public internet and available to anyone who wants to purchase them. Cloud resources, such as servers and storage, are owned and operated by a third-party cloud service provider, and delivered over the internet.

Tags

Tags provide extra information, or metadata, about your resources. This metadata is useful for: Resource management Tags enable you to locate and act on resources that are associated with specific workloads, environments, business units, and owners. Cost management and optimization Tags enable you to group resources so that you can report on costs, allocate internal cost centers, track budgets, and forecast estimated cost. Operations management Tags enable you to group resources according to how critical their availability is to your business. This grouping helps you formulate service-level agreements (SLAs). An SLA is an uptime or performance guarantee between you and your users. Security Tags enable you to classify data by its security level, such as public or confidential. Governance and regulatory compliance Tags enable you to identify resources that align with governance or regulatory compliance requirements, such as ISO 27001. Tags can also be part of your standards enforcement efforts. For example, you might require that all resources be tagged with an owner or department name. Workload optimization and automation Tags can help you visualize all of the resources that participate in complex deployments. For example, you might tag a resource with its associated workload or application name and use software such as Azure DevOps to perform automated tasks on those resources.

The product of both SLAs, which equals 99.4 percent

What factors affect cost?

The way you use resources, your subscription type, and pricing from third-party vendors are common factors Resource type: For example, with a storage account you specify a type (such as block blob storage or table storage), a performance tier (standard or premium), and an access tier (hot, cool, or archive). These selections present different costs. Usage meters: Each meter tracks a specific type of usage. For example, a meter might track bandwidth usage (ingress or egress network traffic in bits per second), number of operations, or its size (storage capacity in bytes). The usage that a meter tracks correlates to a quantity of billable units. Those units are charged to your account for each billing period. The rate per billable unit depends on the resource type you're using. Resource usage: Charged based on what you use Azure subscription types Azure marketplace Location: Different regions can have different associated prices. Because geographic regions can impact where your network traffic flows, network traffic is a cost influence to consider as well Billing Zones: Bandwidth refers to data moving in and out of Azure datacenters. Some inbound data transfers (data going into Azure datacenters) are free. For outbound data transfers (data leaving Azure datacenters), data transfer pricing is based on zones.

Azure DevTest Labs

automated means of managing the process of building, setting up, and tearing down virtual machines (VMs) that contain builds of your software projects. Anything you can deploy in Azure via an ARM template can be provisioned through DevTest Labs. Provisioning pre-created lab environments with their required configurations and tools already installed is a huge time saver for quality assurance professionals and developers. Ex: Suppose you need to test a new feature on an old version of an operating system. Azure DevTest Labs can set up everything automatically upon request. After the testing is complete, DevTest Labs can shut down and deprovision the VM, which saves money when it's not in use. To control costs, the management team can restrict how many labs can be created, how long they run, and so on.

to ensure a virtual machine, VM1, cannot connect to the other VMs, VM1 must...

be deployed to a separate virtual network Azure automatically routes traffic between subnets in a virtual network. Therefore, all virtual machines in a virtual network can connect to the other virtual machines in the same virtual network. Even if the virtual machines are on separate subnets within the virtual network, they can still communicate with each other.To ensure that a virtual machine cannot connect to the other virtual machines, the virtual machine must be deployed to a separate virtual network.

Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

built-in roles that describe common access rules for cloud resources. You can also define your own roles. Each role has an associated set of access permissions that relate to that role. When you assign individuals or groups to one or more roles, they receive all of the associated access permissions. Role-based access control is applied to a scope, which is a resource or set of resources that this access applies to.

Azure Kubernetes Service

complete orchestration service for containers with distributed architectures and large volumes of containers. Orchestration is the task of automating and managing a large number of containers and how they interact.

Azure Service Level Agreement (SLA)

formal agreement between a service company and the customer. For Azure, this agreement defines the performance standards that Microsoft commits to for you, the customer.

Data Protection Addendum (DPA)

further defines the data processing and security terms for online services. These terms include: Compliance with laws. Disclosure of processed data. Data Security, which includes security practices and policies, data encryption, data access, customer responsibilities, and compliance with auditing. Data transfer, retention, and deletion.

TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) Calculator

helps you estimate the cost savings of operating your solution on Azure over time, instead of in your on-premises datacenter. The term total cost of ownership is commonly used in finance. It can be hard to see all the hidden costs related to operating a technology capability on-premises. Software licenses and hardware are additional costs. With the TCO Calculator, you enter the details of your on-premises workloads. Then you review the suggested industry average cost (which you can adjust) for related operational costs. These costs include electricity, network maintenance, and IT labor. You're then presented with a side-by-side report. Using the report, you can compare those costs with the same workloads running on Azure.

Data stored in the archive access tier of an azure storage account...

must be rehydrated before the data can be accessed

Azure Blob Storage

object storage solution for the cloud. It can store massive amounts of data, such as text or binary data. Azure Blob Storage is unstructured, meaning that there are no restrictions on the kinds of data it can hold. Blob Storage can manage thousands of simultaneous uploads, massive amounts of video data, constantly growing log files, and can be reached from anywhere with an internet connection. Ideal for: Serving images or documents directly to a browser. Storing files for distributed access. Streaming video and audio. Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery, and archiving. Storing data for analysis by an on-premises or Azure-hosted service. Storing up to 8 TB of data for virtual machines. Easier to manage than disks b/c developers don't have to deal w/ the physical needs that they do when using disk Blobs stored in containers which makes it easy to organize by biz need

When planning to migrate a public website to Azure you must plan to - deploy a VPN - pay monthly usage costs - pay to transfer all website data to azure - reduce the # of cnxns to the website

pay monthly usage costs

Service Credit

percentage of the fees you paid that are credited back to you according to the claim approval process An SLA describes how Microsoft responds when an Azure service fails to perform to its specification. For example, you might receive a discount on your Azure bill as compensation when a service fails to perform according to its SLA. Credits typically increase as uptime decreases.

Resource Locks

prevents resources from being accidentally deleted or changed Even with Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) policies in place, there's still a risk that people with the right level of access could delete critical cloud resources. Think of a resource lock as a warning system that reminds you that a resource should not be deleted or changed. You can manage resource locks from the Azure portal, PowerShell, the Azure CLI, or from an Azure Resource Manager template. You can apply locks to a subscription, a resource group, or an individual resource: CanNotDelete & ReadOnly locks are available

Authentication

process of establishing the identity of a person or service that wants to access a resource. It involves the act of challenging a party for legitimate credentials and provides the basis for creating a security principal for identity and access control. It establishes whether the user is who they say they are.

Fault Tolerance

refers to achieving high availability on the cloud the ability for a system to respond to unexpected failures or system crashes as the backup system immediately and automatically takes over with no loss of service

T/F an azure free account has a spending limit

true An Azure free account has a spending limit. This is currently 200 USD or 150 GBP.

T/F From azure service health an admin can view the health of all services in an azure environment

true Azure Service Health consists of three components: Azure Status, Azure Service Heath and Azure Resource Health.Azure service health provides a personalized view of the health of the Azure services and regions you're using. This is the best place to look for service impacting communications about outages, planned maintenance activities, and other health advisories because the authenticated Azure Service Health experience knows which services and resources you currently use.To view the health of all other services available in Azure, you would use the Azure Status component of Azure Service Health. Azure status informs you of service outages in Azure on the Azure Status page. The page is a global view of the health of all Azure services across all Azure regions.

T/F when an azure vm is stopped you continue to pay storage associated with it

true When a virtual machine is stopped (deallocated), the virtual machine is unloaded/dismounted from the physical server in Azure. In this state, you are not charged for the virtual machine itself. However, you are still charged for the storage costs of the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine.If the virtual machine is stopped but not deallocated (this happens if you shut down the virtual machine from the operating system of the virtual machine), the virtual machine is still mounted on the physical server in Azure and you are charged for the virtual machine itself as well as the storage costs. To ensure that a virtual machine is "˜stopped (deallocated)"™, you need to stop the virtual machine in the Azure portal.

T/F each azure subscription can contain multiple account admins

true You can assign additional account administrators in the Azure Portal.

T/F a single microsoft account can be used to manage multiple azure subscriptions

true You can use the same account to manage multiple subscriptions. You can create an additional subscription for your account in the Azure portal. You may want an additional subscription to avoid hitting subscription limits, to create separate environments for security, or to isolate data for compliance reasons.

Azure policy initiatives

way of grouping related policies into one set. The initiative definition contains all of the policy definitions to help track your compliance state for a larger goal.

Azure Portal

web-based user interface, you can access virtually every feature of Azure. The Azure portal provides a friendly, graphical UI to view all the services you're using, create new services, configure your services, and view reports. The Azure portal is how most users first experience Azure. But, as your Azure usage grows, you'll likely choose a more repeatable code-centric approach to managing your Azure resources.

Azure PowerShell

shell with which developers and DevOps and IT professionals can execute commands called cmdlets (pronounced command-lets). These commands call the Azure Rest API to perform every possible management task in Azure. Cmdlets can be executed independently or combined into a script file and executed together to orchestrate: The routine setup, teardown, and maintenance of a single resource or multiple connected resources. The deployment of an entire infrastructure, which might contain dozens or hundreds of resources, from imperative code. Better for Windows background

Agility

the ability to rapidly change an IT infrastructure to adapt to the evolving needs of the business

Identity

the new primary security boundary. Accurately proving that someone is a valid user of your system, with an appropriate level of access, is critical to maintaining control of your data. This identity layer is now more often the target of attack than the network is.

Compute Services

Ex: Azure VMs, AKS, Azure Batch, Azure ACI One of the primary reasons people move to azure

Single Sign On

A gateway service that permits users to log in once with a single user ID and password to gain access to multiple software applications.

Private Cloud

A private cloud consists of computing resources used exclusively by users from one business or organization. A private cloud can be physically located at your organization's on-site (on-premises) datacenter, or it can be hosted by a third-party service provider.

High Availability

A service that is up and running for a long period of time. Depending on the service-level agreement (SLA) that you choose, your cloud-based apps can provide a continuous user experience with no apparent downtime, even when things go wrong.

Subscriptions

A subscription groups together user accounts and the resources that have been created by those user accounts. For each subscription, there are limits or quotas on the amount of resources that you can create and use. Organizations can use subscriptions to manage costs and the resources that are created by users, teams, or projects.

Do you need a way to repeatedly set up one or more resources and ensure that all the dependencies are created in the proper order?

ARM templates express your application's infrastructure requirements for a repeatable deployment. A validation step ensures that all resources can be created, so that the resources are created in the proper order based on dependencies, in parallel, and idempotent.

Disaster Recovery

By taking advantage of cloud-based backup services, data replication, and geo-distribution, you can deploy your apps with the confidence that comes from knowing that your data is safe in the event of disaster.

DevOps vs GitHub

GitHub has a long history with public repositories and is trusted by tens of thousands of open-source project owners. GitHub is a lighter-weight tool than Azure DevOps, with a focus on individual developers contributing to the open-source code. Azure DevOps, on the other hand, is more focused on enterprise development, with heavier project-management and planning tools, and finer-grained access control. Note you can use them together

Special Azure Regions

US DoD Central, US Gov Virginia, US Gov Iowa and more: These regions are physical and logical network-isolated instances of Azure for U.S. government agencies and partners. These datacenters are operated by screened U.S. personnel and include additional compliance certifications. China East, China North, and more: These regions are available through a unique partnership between Microsoft and 21Vianet, whereby Microsoft doesn't directly maintain the datacenters.

VPN Gateway (virtual network gateway)

VPNs use an encrypted tunnel within another network. They're typically deployed to connect two or more trusted private networks to one another over an untrusted network (typically the public internet). Traffic is encrypted while traveling over the untrusted network to prevent eavesdropping or other attacks. Azure VPN Gateway instances are deployed in Azure Virtual Network instances and enable the following connectivity: Connect on-premises datacenters to virtual networks through a site-to-site connection. Connect individual devices to virtual networks through a point-to-site connection. Connect virtual networks to other virtual networks through a network-to-network connection

Azure Regions

a geographical area on the planet that contains at least one but potentially multiple datacenters that are nearby and networked together with a low-latency network. Azure intelligently assigns and controls the resources within each region to ensure workloads are appropriately balanced.

Azure IoT Central

builds on top of IoT Hub by adding a dashboard that allows you to connect, monitor, and manage your IoT devices. The visual user interface (UI) makes it easy to quickly connect new devices and watch as they begin sending telemetry or error messages. You can watch the overall performance across all devices in aggregate, and you can set up alerts that send notifications when a specific device needs maintenance. Finally, you can push firmware updates to the device. A key part of IoT Central is the use of device templates. By using a device template, you can connect a device without any service-side coding. IoT Central uses the templates to construct the dashboards, alerts, and so on. Device developers still need to create code to run on the devices, and that code must match the device template specification.

Azure Key Vault

centralized cloud service for storing an application's secrets in a single, central location. It provides secure access to sensitive information by providing access control and logging capabilities. Manage secrets You can use Key Vault to securely store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other secrets. Manage encryption keys You can use Key Vault as a key management solution. Key Vault makes it easier to create and control the encryption keys that are used to encrypt your data. Manage SSL/TLS certificates Key Vault enables you to provision, manage, and deploy your public and private Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for both your Azure resources and your internal resources. Store secrets backed by hardware security modules (HSMs) These secrets and keys can be protected either by software or by FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated HSMs.

Virtual Network

enable Azure resources, such as VMs, web apps, and databases, to communicate with each other, with users on the internet, and with your on-premises client computers. You can think of an Azure network as a set of resources that links other Azure resources. Azure virtual networks provide the following key networking capabilities: Isolation and segmentation Internet communications Communicate between Azure resources Communicate with on-premises resources Route network traffic Filter network traffic Connect virtual networks

Serverless Computing

enables developers to build applications faster by eliminating the need for them to manage infrastructure. With serverless applications, the cloud service provider automatically provisions, scales, and manages the infrastructure required to run the code. Serverless architectures are highly scalable and event-driven, only using resources when a specific function or trigger occurs. It's important to note that servers are still running the code. The "serverless" name comes from the fact that the tasks associated with infrastructure provisioning and management are invisible to the developer.

Azure Region Pair

Each Azure region is always paired with another region within the same geography (such as US, Europe, or Asia) at least 300 miles away. This approach allows for the replication of resources (such as VM storage) across a geography that helps reduce the likelihood of interruptions because of events such as natural disasters, civil unrest, power outages, or physical network outages that affect both regions at once. If a region in a pair was affected by a natural disaster, for instance, services would automatically failover to the other region in its region pair. Availability zones are created by using one or more datacenters. There's a minimum of three zones within a single region. It's possible that a large disaster could cause an outage big enough to affect even two datacenters. That's why Azure also creates region pairs.

Cloud Shell

A browser-based scripting environment for command-line administration of Azure resources. It provides support for two shell environments. Linux users can opt for a Bash experience, while Windows users can use PowerShell.

What services does Azure AD provide?

Authentication This includes verifying identity to access applications and resources. It also includes providing functionality such as self-service password reset, multifactor authentication, a custom list of banned passwords, and smart lockout services. Single sign-on SSO enables you to remember only one username and one password to access multiple applications. A single identity is tied to a user, which simplifies the security model. As users change roles or leave an organization, access modifications are tied to that identity, which greatly reduces the effort needed to change or disable accounts. Application management You can manage your cloud and on-premises apps by using Azure AD. Features like Application Proxy, SaaS apps, the My Apps portal (also called the access panel), and single-sign on provide a better user experience. Device management Along with accounts for individual people, Azure AD supports the registration of devices. Registration enables devices to be managed through tools like Microsoft Intune. It also allows for device-based conditional access policies to restrict access attempts to only those coming from known devices, regardless of the requesting user account.

Authorization

Authentication establishes the user's identity, but authorization is the process of establishing what level of access an authenticated person or service has. It specifies what data they're allowed to access and what they can do with it.

Availability Zones

Availability zones are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region. Each availability zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. An availability zone is set up to be an isolation boundary. If one zone goes down, the other continues working. Availability zones are connected through high-speed, private fiber-optic networks. 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.

What's in the Cloud Adoption Framework?

Consists of tools, documentation, and proven practices. The Cloud Adoption Framework includes these stages: Define your strategy. Make a plan. Ready your organization. Adopt the cloud. Govern and manage your cloud environments.

Azure Container Instances (ACI)

Containers are lightweight, virtualized application environments. They're designed to be quickly created, scaled out, and stopped dynamically. You can run multiple instances of a containerized application on a single host machine. For containers you don't manage the OS **different than VMs** fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure without having to manage any virtual machines or adopt any additional services. It's a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that allows you to upload your containers, which it runs for you.

Azure DDoS Protection

DDoS Protection uses the scale and elasticity of Microsoft's global network to bring DDoS mitigation capacity to every Azure region. The DDoS Protection service helps protect your Azure applications by analyzing and discarding DDoS traffic at the Azure network edge, before it can affect your service's availability. DDoS Protection identifies the attacker's attempt to overwhelm the network and blocks further traffic from them, ensuring that traffic never reaches Azure resources. Legitimate traffic from customers still flows into Azure without any interruption of service. DDoS Protection can also help you manage your cloud consumption. When you run on-premises, you have a fixed number of compute resources. But in the cloud, elastic computing means that you can automatically scale out your deployment to meet demand. A cleverly designed DDoS attack can cause you to increase your resource allocation, which incurs unneeded expense. DDoS Protection Standard helps ensure that the network load you process reflects customer usage. You can also receive credit for any costs accrued for scaled-out resources during a DDoS attack.

ExpressRoute

ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection with the help of a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. Don't go over public internet -- offer more reliability, faster speed, consistent latencies, higher security

Azure AD vs AD

For on-premises environments, Active Directory running on Windows Server provides an identity and access management service that's managed by your own organization. Azure AD is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. With Azure AD, you control the identity accounts, but Microsoft ensures that the service is available globally. If you've worked with Active Directory, Azure AD will be familiar to you. When you secure identities on-premises with Active Directory, Microsoft doesn't monitor sign-in attempts. When you connect Active Directory with Azure AD, Microsoft can help protect you by detecting suspicious sign-in attempts at no extra cost. For example, Azure AD can detect sign-in attempts from unexpected locations or unknown devices.

GitHub and GitHub Actions

GitHub is arguably the world's most popular code repository for open-source software. Git is a decentralized source-code management tool, and GitHub is a hosted version of Git that serves as the primary remote. GitHub builds on top of Git to provide related services for coordinating work, reporting and discussing issues, providing documentation GitHub Actions enables workflow automation with triggers for many lifecycle events. One such example would be automating a CI/CD toolchain.

Who uses Azure AD?

IT administrators Administrators can use Azure AD to control access to applications and resources based on their business requirements. App developers Developers can use Azure AD to provide a standards-based approach for adding functionality to applications that they build, such as adding SSO functionality to an app or enabling an app to work with a user's existing credentials. Users Users can manage their identities. For example, self-service password reset enables users to change or reset their password with no involvement from an IT administrator or help desk. Online service subscribers Microsoft 365, Microsoft Office 365, Azure, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online subscribers are already using Azure AD. A tenant is a representation of an organization. A tenant is typically separated from other tenants and has its own identity. Each Microsoft 365, Office 365, Azure, and Dynamics CRM Online tenant is automatically an Azure AD tenant.

IoT - Do I need a dashboard for reporting and management?

If you merely want to connect to your remote devices to receive telemetry and occasionally push updates, and you don't need any reporting capabilities, you might prefer to implement Azure IoT Hub by itself. Your programmers can still create a customized set of management tools and reports by using the IoT Hub RESTful API. However, if you want a pre-built customizable user interface with which you can view and control your devices remotely, you might prefer to start with IoT Central. With this solution, you can control a single device or all devices at once, and you can set up alerts for certain conditions, such as a device failure.

SaaS

In this cloud service model, the cloud provider manages all aspects of the application environment, such as virtual machines, networking resources, data storage, and applications. The cloud tenant only needs to provide their data to the application managed by the cloud provider. For example, Microsoft Office 365 provides a fully working version of Microsoft Office that runs in the cloud. All you need to do is create your content, and Office 365 takes care of everything else. software that's centrally hosted and managed for you and your users or customers. Usually one version of the application is used for all customers, and it's licensed through a monthly or annual subscription. Disadvantage: Software Limitations -- b/c you're using as is software you don't have direct control of the features

Networking

Linking compute resources and providing access to applications is the key function of Azure networking. Networking functionality in Azure includes a range of options to connect the outside world to services and features in the global Azure datacenters. Ex: Azure Virtual Network, Azure Load Balancer, Azure VPN Gateway, ACDN, Azure Firewall

Azure Sentinel

Microsoft's cloud-based SIEM system. It uses intelligent security analytics and threat analysis. Collect cloud data at scale Collect data across all users, devices, applications, and infrastructure, both on-premises and from multiple clouds. Detect previously undetected threats Minimize false positives by using Microsoft's comprehensive analytics and threat intelligence. Investigate threats with artificial intelligence Examine suspicious activities at scale, tapping into years of cybersecurity experience from Microsoft. Respond to incidents rapidly Utilize built-in orchestration and automation of common tasks.

Azure Security Center

Monitoring service that provides visibility of your security posture across all of your services, both on Azure and on-premises. Automatically apply required security settings to new resources as they come online. Provide security recommendations that are based on your current configurations, resources, and networks. Continuously monitor your resources and perform automatic security assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities before those vulnerabilities can be exploited. Use machine learning to detect and block malware from being installed on your virtual machines (VMs) and other resources. You can also use adaptive application controls to define rules that list allowed applications to ensure that only applications you allow can run. Detect and analyze potential inbound attacks and investigate threats and any post-breach activity that might have occurred. Provide just-in-time access control for network ports. Doing so reduces your attack surface by ensuring that the network only allows traffic that you require at the time that you need it to.

API's: Web API Web API Endpoint REST API

Programmers use APIs to interact with the functionality that's contained in code libraries. Web API: An API that's accessible from servers that accept requests via HTTP. Web API endpoint: The location of the code library. REST API: The design of the URL style that's used to expose the API's functionality.

PaaS

This cloud service model is a managed hosting environment. The cloud provider manages the virtual machines and networking resources, and the cloud tenant deploys their applications into the managed hosting environment. For example, Azure App Services provides a managed hosting environment where developers can upload their web applications, without having to worry about the physical hardware and software requirements. No capex platform limitations: might be some limitations to a cloud paltform that could affect how the app runs

IaaS

This cloud service model is the closest to managing physical servers; a cloud provider will keep the hardware up-to-date, but operating system maintenance and network configuration is up to you as the cloud tenant. For example, Azure virtual machines are fully operational virtual compute devices running in Microsoft datacenters. An advantage of this cloud service model is rapid deployment of new compute devices. Setting up a new virtual machine is considerably faster than procuring, installing, and configuring a physical server. Most flexible category b/c you can control and manage the hardware running your app No CapEx

What kinds of attacks can DDoS Protection help prevent?

Volumetric attacks The goal of this attack is to flood the network layer with a substantial amount of seemingly legitimate traffic. Protocol attacks These attacks render a target inaccessible by exploiting a weakness in the layer 3 and layer 4 protocol stack. Resource-layer (application-layer) attacks (only with web application firewall) These attacks target web application packets to disrupt the transmission of data between hosts. You need a web application firewall (WAF) to protect against L7 attacks. DDoS Protection Standard protects the WAF from volumetric and protocol attacks.

Is it critical to ensure that the device is not compromised?

When security is a critical consideration in your product's design, the best product option is Azure Sphere, which provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for IoT devices.

Azure functions vs Azure logic apps

You can call Azure Functions from Azure Logic Apps, and vice versa. The primary difference between the two services is their intent. Azure Functions is a serverless compute service, and Azure Logic Apps is intended to be a serverless orchestration service. Although you can use Azure Functions to orchestrate a long-running business process that involves various connections, this was not its primary use case when it was designed. Additionally, the two services are priced differently. Azure Functions pricing is based on the number of executions and the running time of each execution. Logic Apps pricing is based on the number of executions and the type of connectors that it utilizes.

Azure Sphere

creates an end-to-end, highly secure IoT solution for customers that encompasses everything from the hardware and operating system on the device to the secure method of sending messages from the device to the message hub. Azure Sphere has built-in communication and security features for internet-connected devices. Three parts: 1. Micro Controller Unit: responsible for processing the operating system and signals from attached sensors. 2. Customized Linux OS that handles communication w/ security service & runs vendors software 3. Azure Sphere Security Service, also known as AS3. Its job is to make sure that the device has not been maliciously compromised. After the Azure Sphere system has validated the authenticity of the device and authenticated it, the device can interact with other Azure IoT services by sending telemetry and error information.

Network Security Group

enables you to filter network traffic to and from Azure resources within an Azure virtual network. You can think of NSGs like an internal firewall. An NSG can contain multiple inbound and outbound security rules that enable you to filter traffic to and from resources by source and destination IP address, port, and protocol.

Consumption Based Model

end users only pay for the resources that they use. Whatever they use is what they pay for. A consumption-based model has many benefits, including: No upfront costs. No need to purchase and manage costly infrastructure that users might not use to its fullest. The ability to pay for additional resources when they are needed. The ability to stop paying for resources that are no longer needed.

Azure Advisor

Cosmos DB

globally distributed, multi-model database service. You can elastically and independently scale throughput and storage across any number of Azure regions worldwide. You can take advantage of fast, single-digit-millisecond data access by using any one of several popular APIs. Azure Cosmos DB provides comprehensive service level agreements for throughput, latency, availability, and consistency guarantees. Azure Cosmos DB supports schema-less data, which lets you build highly responsive and "Always On" applications to support constantly changing data. You can use this feature to store data that's updated and maintained by users around stores data in atom-record-sequence (ARS) format. The data is then abstracted and projected as an API, which you specify when you're creating your database.

Azure Service Health

personalized view of the health of the Azure services, regions, and resources you rely on displays both major and smaller, localized issues that affect you. Service issues are rare, but it's important to be prepared for the unexpected. You can set up alerts that help you triage outages and planned maintenance. After an outage, Service Health provides official incident reports, called root cause analyses (RCAs), which you can share with stakeholders. Keep an eye on: Service Issues Planned Maintenance Health Advisories If you want to keep tabs on Azure itself, especially the services and regions you depend on, you want to choose Azure Service Health

Azure Monitor

platform for collecting, analyzing, visualizing, and potentially taking action based on the metric and logging data from your entire Azure and on-premises environment. Choose Azure Monitor when you want to measure custom events alongside other collected telemetry data. Custom events, such as those added in the source code of your software applications, could help identify and diagnose why your application is behaving a certain way.

Azure Machine Learning

platform for making predictions. It consists of tools and services that allow you to connect to data to train and test models to find one that will most accurately predict a future result. After you've run experiments to test the model, you can deploy and use it in real time via a web API endpoint. With Azure Machine Learning, you can: Create a process that defines how to obtain data, how to handle missing or bad data, how to split the data into either a training set or test set, and deliver the data to the training process. Train and evaluate predictive models by using tools and programming languages familiar to data scientists. Create pipelines that define where and when to run the compute-intensive experiments that are required to score the algorithms based on the training and test data. Deploy the best-performing algorithm as an API to an endpoint so it can be consumed in real time by other applications. Choose Azure Machine Learning when your data scientists need complete control over the design and training of an algorithm using your own data.

MFA

process where a user is prompted during the sign-in process for an additional form of identification. Examples include a code on their mobile phone or a fingerprint scan. Multifactor authentication increases identity security by limiting the impact of credential exposure (for example, stolen usernames and passwords). With multifactor authentication enabled, an attacker who has a user's password would also need to have possession of their phone or their fingerprint to fully authenticate.

Defense in depth

protect information and prevent it from being stolen by those who aren't authorized to access it. A defense-in-depth strategy uses a series of mechanisms to slow the advance of an attack that aims at acquiring unauthorized access to data. The physical security layer is the first line of defense to protect computing hardware in the datacenter. The identity and access layer controls access to infrastructure and change control. The perimeter layer uses distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection to filter large-scale attacks before they can cause a denial of service for users. The network layer limits communication between resources through segmentation and access controls. The compute layer secures access to virtual machines. The application layer helps ensure that applications are secure and free of security vulnerabilities. The data layer controls access to business and customer data that you need to protect.

Azure Dedicated Host

provides dedicated physical servers to host your Azure VMs for Windows and Linux. Gives you visibility into, and control over, the server infrastructure that's running your Azure VMs. Helps address compliance requirements by deploying your workloads on an isolated server. Lets you choose the number of processors, server capabilities, VM series, and VM sizes within the same host. You're charged per dedicated host, independent of how many VMs you deploy to it. The host price is based on the VM family, type (hardware size), and region

Azure Disk Storage

provides disks for Azure virtual machines. Applications and other services can access and use these disks as needed, similar to how they would in on-premises scenarios. Disk Storage allows data to be persistently stored and accessed from an attached virtual hard disk Disks come in many different sizes and performance levels, from solid-state drives (SSDs) to traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDDs), with varying performance tiers. You can use standard SSD and HDD disks for less critical workloads, premium SSD disks for mission-critical production applications, and ultra disks for data-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA, top tier databases, and transaction-heavy workloads. Azure has consistently delivered enterprise-grade durability for infrastructure as a service (Iaas) disks, with an industry-leading ZERO% annualized failure rate.

Azure Mobile App

provides iOS and Android access to your Azure resources when you're away from your computer. With it, you can: Monitor the health and status of your Azure resources. Check for alerts, quickly diagnose and fix issues, and restart a web app or virtual machine (VM). Run the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell commands to manage your Azure resources.

Azure Cognitive Services

provides prebuilt machine learning models that enable applications to see, hear, speak, understand, and even begin to reason. Use Azure Cognitive Services to solve general problems, such as analyzing text for emotional sentiment or analyzing images to recognize objects or faces. You don't need special machine learning or data science knowledge to use these services. Developers access Azure Cognitive Services via APIs and can easily include these features in just a few lines of code. Language, Speech, Vision, Decision services

Azure Database for MySQL

relational database service in the cloud, and it's based on the MySQL Community Edition database engine, versions 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0. With it, you have a 99.99 percent availability service level agreement from Azure, powered by a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters. This helps keep your app running 24/7. With every Azure Database for MySQL server, you take advantage of built-in security, fault tolerance, and data protection that you would otherwise have to buy or design, build, and manage. With Azure Database for MySQL, you can use point-in-time restore to recover a server to an earlier state, as far back as 35 days.

OpEx

spending money on services or products now, and being billed for them now. You can deduct this expense in the same year you spend it. There is no up-front cost, as you pay for a service or product as you use it. e.g cloud services

Azure Implementations of Serverless Computing (Azure Functions & Azure Logic Apps)

system in which a cloud provider fully manages the functions of a cloud server includes abstraction of servers, an event-driven scale, and micro-billing Azure Functions: Functions can execute code in almost any modern language. Azure Logic Apps: Logic apps are designed in a web-based designer and can execute logic triggered by Azure services without writing any code. With Functions, you write code to complete each step. With Logic Apps, you use a GUI to define the actions and how they relate to one another. You can mix and match services when you build an orchestration, calling functions from logic apps and calling logic apps from functions.

Conditional Access

tool that Azure Active Directory uses to allow (or deny) access to resources based on identity signals. These signals include who the user is, where the user is, and what device the user is requesting access from. provides a more granular multifactor authentication experience for users. For example, a user might not be challenged for second authentication factor if they're at a known location. However, they might be challenged for a second authentication factor if their sign-in signals are unusual or they're at an unexpected location. During sign-in, Conditional Access collects signals from the user, makes decisions based on those signals, and then enforces that decision by allowing or denying the access request or challenging for a multifactor authentication response. To use Conditional Access, you need an Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 license. If you have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium license, you also have access to Conditional Access features.

CapEx

up-front spending of money on physical infrastructure, and then deducting that up-front expense over time. The up-front cost from CapEx has a value that reduces over time. e.g. buying servers

ARM (Azure Resource Manager) Templates

you can describe the resources you want to use in a declarative JSON format. The benefit is that the entire ARM template is verified before any code is executed to ensure that the resources will be created and connected correctly. The template then orchestrates the creation of those resources in parallel. That is, if you need 50 instances of the same resource, all 50 instances are created at the same time.
