DRAG DROP Match the Azure Cloud Services benefit to the correct description. Instructions: To answer, drag the appropriate benefit from the column on the left to its description on the right. Each benefit may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
Explanation:
Box 1: Fault tolerance is the ability of a service to remain available after a failure of one of the components of the service. For example, a service running on multiple servers can withstand the failure of one of the servers.
Box 2: Disaster recovery is the recovery of a service after a failure. For example, restoring a virtual machine from backup after a virtual machine failure.
Box 3: 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.
Box 4: Latency is the time a service to respond to requests. For example, the time it takes for a web page to be returned from a web server. Low latency means low response time which means a quicker response
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Explanation:
Box 1: No It is not true that a company must always migrate from a private cloud model 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.
Box 2: Yes A company can extend the computing resources of its internal network by using the public cloud. This is very common. When you need more resources, rather than pay out for new on-premises infrastructure, you can configure a cloud environment and connect your on-premises network to the cloud environment by using a VPN.
Box 3: No It is not true that only guest users can access cloud resources. You can give anyone with an account in Azure Active Directory access to the cloud resources. There are many authentication scenarios but a common one is to replicate your onpremises Active Directory accounts to Azure Active Directory and provide access to the Azure Active Directory accounts. Another commonly used authentication method is ‘Federation’ where authentication for access to cloud resources is passed to another authentication provider such as an on-premises Active Directory
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Your company has an on-premises network that contains multiple servers. The company plans to reduce the following administrative responsibilities:
Backing up application data
Replacing failed server hardware
Managing physical server security
Updating server operating systems
Managing permissions to shared documents
The company plans to migrate servers to Azure virtual machines. You need to identify which administrative responsibilities will be eliminated after the planned migration. Which two responsibilities should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
A. Replacing failed server hardware
B. Backing up application data
C. Managing physical server security
D. Updating server operating systems
E. Managing permissions to shared document
A. Replacing failed server hardware
B. Backing up application data
C. Managing physical server security
D. Updating server operating systems
E. Managing permissions to shared document
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
One of the major changes that you will face when you move from on-premises cloud to the public cloud is the switch from capital expenditure (buying hardware) to operating expenditure (paying for service as you use it).
Box 1: No With the pay-as-go model, you pay for services as you use them. This is Opex (Operational Expenditure), not CapEx (Captial Expenditure). CapEx is where you pay for something upfront. For example, buying a new physical server.
Box 2: No Paying for electricity for your own datacenter will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx.
Box 3: Yes Deploying your own datacenter is an example of CapEx. This is because you need to purchase all the infrastructure upfront before you can use it.
You plan to provision Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) resources in Azure. Which resource is an example of IaaS?
A. an Azure web app
B. an Azure virtual machine
C. an Azure logic app
D. an Azure SQL database
A. an Azure web app
B. an Azure virtual machine
C. an Azure logic app
D. an Azure SQL database
To which cloud models can you deploy physical servers?
A. private cloud and hybrid cloud only
B. private cloud only
C. private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud
D. hybrid cloud only
A. private cloud and hybrid cloud only
B. private cloud only
C. private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud
D. hybrid cloud only
DRAG DROP Match the cloud model to the correct advantage.
Explanation:
Box 1: Public Cloud With a public cloud, there is no capital expenditure on server hardware etc. You only pay for cloud resources that you use as you use them.
Box 2: Private Cloud A private cloud exists on premises, so you have complete control over security.
Box 3: Hybrid Cloud A hybrid cloud is a mix of public cloud resources and on-premises resources. Therefore, you have a choice to use either.
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Box 1: No You cannot add physical servers to the public cloud. You can only deploy virtual servers in the public cloud. You can extend a private cloud by deploying virtual servers in a public cloud. This would create a hybrid cloud.
Box 2: Yes A hybrid cloud is a combination of a private cloud and public cloud. Therefore, to create a hybrid cloud, you must deploy resources to a public cloud.
Box 3: No. 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.
You have 50 virtual machines hosted on-premises and 50 virtual machines hosted in Azure. The on-premises virtual machines and the Azure virtual machines connect to each other. Which type of cloud model is this?
A. hybrid
B. private
C. public
A. hybrid
B. private
C. public
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No
Explanation:
Box 1: No 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.
Box 2: Yes
Box 3: Yes A PaaS solution that hosts web apps in Azure does provide the ability to scale the platform automatically. This is known as autoscaling. Behind the scenes, the web apps are hosted on virtual machines running IIS. Autoscaling means adding more load balanced virtual machines to host the web apps.
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 plans to migrate all its data and resources to Azure. The company’s migration plan states that only Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions must be used in Azure. You need to deploy an Azure environment that meets the company migration plan. Solution: You create Azure virtual machines, Azure SQL databases, and Azure Storage accounts. Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
A. Yes
B. No
Your company plans to deploy several custom applications to Azure. The applications will provide invoicing services to the customers of the company. Each application will have several prerequisite applications and services installed. You need to recommend a cloud deployment solution for all the applications. What should you recommend?
A. Software as a Service (SaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Infrastructure as a Service (laaS)
A. Software as a Service (SaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Infrastructure as a Service (laaS)
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Explanation:
Box 1: No Building a data center infrastructure is capital expenditure, not operation expenditure.
Box 2: Yes OpEx is ongoing costs (costs of operations) such as staff salaries.
Box 3: Yes OpEx is ongoing costs (costs of operations) such as leasing software. If you purchased software as a one-off purchase, that would be CapEx, but leasing software is ongoing so it’s OpEx.

C. Ready your organization
D. Define your strategy
HOTSPOT To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area.
Explanation:
A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. Resource groups make the management of Azure resources easier. With a resource group, you can allow a user to manage all resources in the resource group, such as virtual machines, websites, and subnets. The permissions you apply to the resource group apply to all resources contained in the resource group.
Reference:
https: //docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview#resource-groups
https: //docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No
Explanation:
Box 1: No A resource can interact with resources in other resource groups.
Box 2: Yes Deleting the resource group will remove the resource group as well as all the resources in that resource group. This can be useful for the management of resources. For example, a virtual machine has several components (the VM itself, virtual disks, network adapter etc.). By placing the VM in its own resource group, you can delete the VM along with all its associated components by deleting the resource group. Another example is when creating a test environment. You could place the entire test environment (Network components, virtual machines etc.) in one resource group. You can then delete the entire test environment by deleting the resource group.
Box 3: Yes Resources from multiple different regions can be placed in a resource group. The resource group only contains metadata about the resources it contains.

HOTSPOT You have an Azure environment that contains 10 web apps. To which URL should you connect to manage all the Azure resources? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Explanation:
The Azure portal is a web-based management interface where you can view and manage all your Azure resources in one unified hub, including web apps, databases, virtual machines, virtual networks, storage and Visual Studio team projects. The URL of the Azure portal is
https://portal.azure.com.

HOTSPOT You plan to extend your company’s network to Azure. The network contains a VPN appliance that uses an IP address of 131.107.200.1. You need to create an Azure resource that defines the VPN appliance in Azure. Which Azure resource should you create? To answer, select the appropriate resource in the answer area.
Explanation:
A Local Network Gateway is an object in Azure that represents your on-premise VPN device. A Virtual Network Gateway is the VPN object at the Azure end of the VPN. A ‘connection’ is what connects the Local Network Gateway and the Virtual Network Gateway to bring up the VPN. The local network gateway typically refers to your on-premises location. You give the site a name by which Azure can refer to it, then specify the IP address of the on-premises VPN device to which you will create a connection. You also specify the IP address prefixes that will be routed through the VPN gateway to the VPN device. The address prefixes you specify are the prefixes located on your on-premises network. If your on-premises network changes or you need to change the public IP address for the VPN device, you can easily update the values later.

HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Explanation:
Box 1: No An Azure AD tenant can have multiple subscriptions but an Azure subscription can only be associated with one Azure AD tenant.
Box 2: Yes
Box 3: No 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.
References:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-how-subscriptionsassociated-directory
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Explanation:
Box 1: Yes 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.
Box 2: No You cannot merge two subscriptions into a single subscription. However, you can move some Azure resources from one subscription to another. You can also transfer ownership of a subscription and change the billing type for a subscription.
Box 3: Yes A company can have multiple subscriptions and store resources in the different subscriptions. However, a resource instance can exist in only one subscription.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-subscription
HOTSPOT To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area.
Explanation:
You can move a VM and its associated resources to a different subscription by using the Azure portal. Moving between subscriptions can be handy if you originally created a VM in a personal subscription and now want to move it to your company’s subscription to continue your work. You do not need to start the VM in order to move it and it should continue to run during the move.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/move-vm
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No
Explanation:
Box 1: No You can assign service administrators and co-administrators in the Azure Portal but there can only be one account administrator.
Box 2: No You need an Azure Active Directory account to manage a subscription, not a Microsoft account. An account is created in the Azure Active Directory when you create the subscription. Further accounts can be created in the Azure Active Directory to manage the subscription.
Box 3: No Resource groups are logical containers for Azure resources. However, resource groups do not contain subscriptions. Subscriptions contain resource groups.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/subscriptions-licenses-accounts-and-tenants-for-microsoft-cloudofferings
HOTSPOT For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Explanation:
Box 1: No Not all Azure regions support availability zones.
Box 2: No Availability zones can be used with many Azure services, not just VMs.
Box 3: No Availability Zones are unique physical locations within a single Azure region.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/availability-zones/az-region#azure-regions-with-availability-zones
HOTSPOT You plan to create an Azure virtual machine. You need to identify which storage service must be used to store the unmanaged data disks of the virtual machine. What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate service in the answer area.
Explanation:
Azure containers are the backbone of the virtual disks platform for Azure IaaS. Both Azure OS and data disks are implemented as virtual disks where data is durably persisted in the Azure Storage platform and then delivered to the virtual machines for maximum performance. Azure Disks are persisted in Hyper-V VHD format and stored as a page blob in Azure Storage.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-pageblob-overview
HOTSPOT You plan to implement an Azure database solution. You need to implement a database solution that meets the following requirements: Can add data concurrently from multiple regions Can store JSON documents Which database service should you deploy? To answer, select the appropriate service in the answer area.
Explanation:
Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s globally distributed, multi-model database service. With a click of a button, Cosmos DB enables you to elastically and independently scale throughput and storage across any number of Azure regions worldwide. Azure Cosmos DB is a great way to store unstructured and JSON data. Combined with Azure Functions, Cosmos DB makes storing data quick and easy with much less code than required for storing data in a relational database.
