Topic 5: Misc. Questions
Your company deploys several Linux and Windows virtual machines (VMs) to Azure. The VMs are deployed with the Microsoft Dependency Agent and the Log Analytics Agent installed by using Azure VM extensions. On-premises connectivity has been enabled by using Azure ExpressRoute.
You need to design a solution to monitor the VMs.
Which Azure monitoring services should you use? To answer, select the appropriate Azure monitoring services in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.


You have an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2008 instance that hosts a 50-GB database.
You need to migrate the database to an Azure SQL managed instance. The solution must minimize downtime.
What should you use?
A.
Azure Migrate
B.
WANdisco LiveData Platform for Azure
C.
Azure Data Studio
D.
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
Azure Data Studio
You have an Azure AD tenant.
You plan to deploy Azure Cosmos DB databases that will use the SQL API.
You need to recommend a solution to provide specific Azure AD user accounts with read access to the Cosmos DB databases.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A.
a resource token and an Access control (1AM) role assignment
B.
certificates and Azure Key Vault
C.
master keys and Azure Information Protection policies
D.
shared access signatures (SAS) and Conditional Access policies
a resource token and an Access control (1AM) role assignment
You have an Azure subscription.
You create a storage account that will store documents.
You need to configure the storage account to meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that retention policies are standardized across the subscription.
• Ensure that data can be purged if the data is copied to an unauthorized location.
Which two settings should you enable? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.


You plan to migrate data to Azure.
The IT department at your company identifies the following requirements:
The storage must support 1 PB of data.
The data must be stored in blob storage.
The storage must support three levels of subfolders.
The storage must support access control lists (ACLs).
You need to meet the requirements.
What should you use?
A.
a premium storage account that is configured for block blobs
B.
a general purpose v2 storage account that has hierarchical namespace enabled
C.
a premium storage account that is configured for page blobs
D.
a premium storage account that is configured for files shares and supports large file shares
a general purpose v2 storage account that has hierarchical namespace enabled
Explanation:
Microsoft recommends that you use a GPv2 storage account for most scenarios. It supports up to 5 PB, and blob storage including Data Lake storage.
Note: A key mechanism that allows Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to provide file system performance at object storage scale and prices is the addition of a hierarchical namespace.
This allows the collection of objects/files within an account to be organized into a hierarchy of directories and nested subdirectories in the same way that the file system on your computer is organized. With a hierarchical namespace enabled, a storage account becomes capable of providing the scalability and cost-effectiveness of object storage, with file system semantics that are familiar to analytics engines and frameworks.
You plan to migrate on-premises MySQL databases to Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server.
You need to recommend a solution for the Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server configuration. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• The databases must be accessible if a datacenter fails.
• Costs must be minimized.
Which compute tier should you recommend?
A.
Burstable
B.
General Purpose
C.
Memory Optimized
Memory Optimized
You have an Azure AD tenant that contains a management group named MG1. You have the Azure subscriptions shown in the following table.


Your company has the divisions shown in the following table.


You plan to store data in Azure Blob storage for many years. The stored data will be accessed rarely.
You need to ensure that the data in Blob storage is always available for immediate access. The solution must minimize storage costs.
Which storage tier should you use?
A.
Cool
B.
Archive
C.
Hot
Cool
Explanation:
Azure cool tier is equivalent to the Amazon S3 Infrequent Access (S3-IA) storage in AWS that provides a low cost high performance storage for infrequently access data.
Note: Azure’s cool storage tier, also known as Azure cool Blob storage, is for infrequentlyaccessed data that needs to be stored for a minimum of 30 days. Typical use cases include backing up data before tiering to archival systems, legal data, media files, system audit
information, datasets used for big data analysis and more.
The storage cost for this Azure cold storage tier is lower than that of hot storage tier. Since it is expected that the data stored in this tier will be accessed less frequently, the data access charges are high when compared to hot tier. There are no additional changes
required in your applications as these tiers can be accessed using APIs in the same manner that you access Azure storage.
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
Your company has deployed several virtual machines (VMs) on-premises and to Azure.
Azure ExpressRoute has been deployed and configured for on-premises to Azure connectivity.
Several VMs are exhibiting network connectivity issues.
You need to analyze the network traffic to determine whether packets are being allowed or denied to the VMs.
Solution: Use Azure Network Watcher to run IP flow verify to analyze the network traffic.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Yes
Explanation:
The Network Watcher Network performance monitor is a cloud-based hybrid network monitoring solution that helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure. It also helps you monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints and monitor the performance of Azure ExpressRoute.
Note:
IP flow verify checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from a virtual machine. The information consists of direction, protocol, local IP, remote IP, local port, and remote port. If the packet is denied by a security group, the name of the rule that denied the packet is returned. While any source or destination IP can be chosen, IP flow verify helps administrators quickly diagnose connectivity issues from or to the internet and from or to the on-premises environment.
IP flow verify looks at the rules for all Network Security Groups (NSGs) applied to the network interface, such as a subnet or virtual machine NIC. Traffic flow is then verified based on the configured settings to or from that network interface. IP flow verify is useful in confirming if a rule in a Network Security Group is blocking ingress or egress traffic to or from a virtual machine.
