Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription.
You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency.
You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option.
You have the following data storage requirements:
✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?
Read-only geo-redundant storage
RA-GRS allows you to have higher read availability for your storage account by providing ג€read onlyג€ access to the data replicated to the secondary location. Once you enable this feature, the secondary location may be used to achieve higher availability in the event the data is not available in the primary region. This is an
ג€opt-inג€ feature which requires the storage account be geo-replicated.
Your company’s Azure subscription includes a Basic support plan.
They would like to request an assessment of an Azure environment’s design from Microsoft. This is, however, not supported by the existing plan.
You want to make sure that the company subscribes to a support plan that allows this functionality, while keeping expenses to a minimum.
Solution: You recommend that the company subscribes to the Professional Direct support plan.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No
You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company.
You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution.
Solution: You should make use of Software as a Service (SaaS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
With IaaS, you rent IT infrastructure—servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems—from a cloud provider on a pay-as-you-go basis.
You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company.
You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution.
Solution: You should make use of Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Platform as a service refers to cloud computing services that supply an on-demand environment for developing, testing, delivering, and managing software applications. PaaS is designed to make it easier for developers to quickly create web or mobile apps, without worrying about setting up or managing the underlying infrastructure of servers, storage, network, and databases needed for development.

Does the solution meet the goal?
Yes,
Virtual Machines and Azure storage accounts is IaaS
Your developers have created 10 web applications that must be host on Azure.
You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web apps. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:
✑ The web apps will use custom domains.
✑ The web apps each require 10 GB of storage.
✑ The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.
✑ Load balancing between instances must be included.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
Which web tier plan should you use?
Basic,
✑ The web apps will use custom domains. - Basic supports this
✑ The web apps each require 10 GB of storage. - Basic supports 10Gb per instance
✑ The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances. - Basic supports this
✑ Load balancing between instances must be included. - Basic supports integrated LB
✑ Costs must be minimized.
You are planning to migrate a company to Azure. Each of the company’s numerous divisions will have an administrator in place to manage the Azure resources used by their respective division.
You want to make sure that the Azure deployment you employ allows for Azure to be segmented for the divisions, while keeping administrative effort to a minimum.
Solution: You plan to make use of several Microsoft Entra ID directories.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Azure Active Directory is now Microsoft Entra ID
An administrative unit can contain only users and groups. E.g. not resources
An administrative unit is an Azure AD resource that can be a container for other Azure AD resources. “An administrative unit can contain only users and groups
Your developers have created a portal web app for users in the Miami branch office. The web app will be publicly accessible and used by the Miami users to retrieve customer and product information. The web app is currently running in an on-premises test environment.
You plan to host the web app on Azure.
You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web app. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:
✑ The website will use the miami.weyland.com URL.
✑ The website will be deployed to two instances.
✑ SSL support must be included.
✑ The website requires 12 GB of storage.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
Which web tier plan should you use?
Standard,
keyword 12 GB
Free = 1 GB
Shared = 1 GB
Basic = 10 GB
Standard = 50 GB
Premium = 250 GB
Isolated = 1 TB
Your company is planning to migrate all their virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. The virtual machines are currently hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You are required make sure that the intended Azure solution uses the correct expenditure model.
Solution: You should recommend the use of the elastic expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Elasticity is not an expenditure model rather is one of the characteristics of could computing. The basic advantage of cloud computing is shifting your high Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) requirements to optimal Pay -As-You-Go model which is Operational Expenditure (OPEX)
Your company is planning to migrate all their virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. The virtual machines are currently hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You are required make sure that the intended Azure solution uses the correct expenditure model.
Solution: You should recommend the use of the scalable expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Because we have two expenditure models. One is Cap-Ex, another is Op-Ex. So Scalable Expenditure is not the right answer.
Your company is planning to migrate all their virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. The virtual machines are currently hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You are required make sure that the intended Azure solution uses the correct expenditure model.
Solution: You should recommend the use of the operational expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Yes,
Operating expenditures are ongoing costs of doing business. Consuming cloud services in a pay-as-you-go model could qualify as an operating expenditure.
You are required to deploy an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution in Azure.
You want to make sure that you are able to build, test, and deploy predictive analytics for the solution.
Solution: You should make use of Azure Cosmos DB.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Machine Learning Studio (classic) is a drag-and-drop tool you can use to build, test, and deploy predictive analytics solutions.
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database for modern app development.
Your company’s Active Directory forest includes thousands of user accounts.
You have been informed that all network resources will be migrated to Azure. Thereafter, the on-premises data center will be retired.
You are required to employ a strategy that reduces the effect on users, once the planned migration has been completed.
Solution: You plan to sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Does the solution meet the goal?
Yes,
You are required to deploy an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution in Azure.
You want to make sure that you are able to build, test, and deploy predictive analytics for the solution.

Your company’s infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation.
The resources required by each business unit are identical.
You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically.
Solution: You recommend that the Azure API Management service be included in the strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Azure API Management Service ( APIM ) is a way to create and manage customer APIs for existing backend services. The Question is asking about a way to create Azure resources automatically ( on the fly ). ARM (Azure Resource Manager) is a tool that automates the deployments on the AZ cloud.

You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically.
Solution: You recommend that management groups be included in the strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?
No,
Azure Resource Manager templates should be used (as in the next question). Management groups are only containers. To add the automating capability we need to utilize templates.
