Azure provides flexibility between capital expenditure (CapE) and operational exponditure (OpEx).
If you create two Azure virtual machines that use the B2S size, each virtual machine will always generate the same monthly costs.
When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you continue to pay storage costs associated to the virtual machine.
Box 1: Yes -
Traditionally, IT expenses have been considered a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). Today, with the move to the cloud and the pay-as-you-go model, organizations have the ability to stretch their budgets and are shifting their IT CapEx costs to Operating Expenditures (OpEx) instead. This flexibility, in accounting terms, is now an option due to the ג€as a Serviceג€ model of purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources.
Box 2: No -
Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations. Therefore, the monthly costs could be different.
Box 3: Yes -
When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you don’t pay for the virtual machine. However, you do still pay for the storage costs associated to the virtual machine.
The most common storage costs are for the disks attached to the virtual machines. There are also other storage costs associated with a virtual machine such as storage for diagnostic data and virtual machine backups.

Configuring the SaaS solution.
When you are implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, you are responsible for configuring the SaaS solution. Everything else is managed by the cloud provider.
SaaS requires the least amount of management. The cloud provider is responsible for managing everything, and the end user just uses the software.
Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring and office tools
(such as Microsoft Office 365).
SaaS provides a complete software solution which you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis from a cloud service provider. You rent the use of an app for your organization and your users connect to it over the Internet, usually with a web browser. All of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, app software and app data are located in the service provider’s data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and with the appropriate service agreement, will ensure the availability and the security of the app and your data as well.
You have an on-premises network that contains several servers.
You plan to migrate all the servers to Azure.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that some of the servers are available if a single Azure data center goes offline for an extended period.

Database Engine and patched OS with 99.99% availability. PaaS capabilities that are built-in into Azure SQL database enable you to focus on the domain specific database administration and optimization activities that are critical for your business.
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
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 in
Azure 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).
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
To achieve a hybrid cloud model, a company must always migrate from a private cloud
model.
A company can extend the capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud.
In a public cloud model, only guest users at your company can access the resources in the cloud.
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 capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud. This is very common. When you need more capacity, 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 on-premises 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.
You plan to migrate several servers from an on-premises network to Azure.
What is an advantage of using a public cloud service for the servers over an on-premises network?
A. The public cloud is owned by the public, NOT a private corporation
B. The public cloud is a crowd-sourcing solution that provides corporations with the ability to enhance the cloud
C. All public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public
D. The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the resources in the cloud
D
The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the resources in the cloud. The hardware resources (servers, infrastructure etc.) are managed by the cloud provider. Multiple companies create resources such as virtual machines and virtual networks on the hardware resources.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The public cloud is not owned by the public. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the cloud is owned by Microsoft.
B: The public cloud is a not crowd-sourcing solution. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the cloud is owned by Microsoft.
C: It is not true that public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public. You pay for a cloud subscription and create accounts for your users to access your cloud resources. No one can access your cloud resources until you create user accounts and provide the appropriate access permissions.

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). This switch also requires more careful management of your costs. The benefit of the cloud is that you can fundamentally and positively affect the cost of a service you use by merely shutting down or resizing it when it’s not needed.
Disaster recovery
Fault tolerance
Low latency
Dynamic scalabilty
A cloud service that remains available after a failure occurs
A cloud service that can be recovered after a failure occurs
A cloud service that performs quickly when demand increases
A cloud service that can be accessed quickly from the Internet.
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.

Provides complete control over security.
Provides a choice to use on-premises or cloud-based resources.
Hybrid Cloud
Private Cloud
Public Cloud
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.
A company can extend a private cloud by adding its own physical servers to the public cloud.
To build a hybrid cloud, you must deploy resources to the public cloud.
A private cloud must be disconnected from the internet.
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.

Box: Platform as a service (PaaS)
Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications. You purchase the resources you need from a cloud service provider on a pay- as-you-go basis and access them over a secure Internet connection.
Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure servers, storage, and networking, but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more.
Which cloud computing model includes on-premises and cloud-based resources?
A. hybrid
B. public
C. private
A
A hybrid cloud sometimes called a cloud hybrid is a computing environment that combines an on-premises datacenter (also called a private cloud) with a public cloud, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. Some people define hybrid cloud to include multicloud configurations where an organization uses more than one public cloud in addition to their on-premises datacenter.
Autoscaling is an example of:
agility
elasticity
geo-distribution
predictability
Elasticity
An Azure virtual machine scale set can automatically increase or decrease the number of VM instances that run your application. This automated and elastic behavior reduces the management overhead to monitor and optimize the performance of your application.
Also: Azure elasticity as a service is referred to a cloud service that enables in automatically scaling Azure hosted resources in par with the demand and configured parameters. It provides Azure Administrators with the ability to auto scale Azure infrastructure and resources as and when needed.
Azure virtual networks deployed to the same Azure region are connected by default.
Each Azure virtual network in a single resource group must have a unique name.
The Azure virtual network’s address space must be unique within a subscription.
Box 1: No -
You would need to setup the VNET connections, for example with peering.
Note: You can connect virtual networks to each other with virtual network peering. These virtual networks can be in the same region or different regions (also known as Global VNet peering). Once virtual networks are peered, resources in both virtual networks can communicate with each other.
Box 2: Yes -
All Azure resource types have a scope that defines the level that resource names must be unique. A resource must have a unique name within its scope.
For example, a virtual network has a resource group scope, which means that there can be only one network named vnet-prod-westus-001 in a given resource group.
Box 3: Yes -
As you build your network in Azure, it is important to keep in mind the following universal design principles:
Ensure non-overlapping address spaces. Make sure your VNet address space (CIDR block) does not overlap with your organization’s other network ranges.
Which term represents the ability to increase the computing capacity of a virtual machine by adding memory or CPUs?
A. agility
B. vertical scaling
C. horizontal scaling
D. elasticity
B
Vertical scaling, also known as scale up and scale down, means increasing or decreasing virtual machine (VM) sizes in response to a workload. Compare this behavior with horizontal scaling, also referred to as scale out and scale in, where the number of VMs is altered depending on the workload.
What are two benefits of cloud computing? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. enables the rapid provisioning of resources
B. has increased administrative complexity
C. has the same configuration options as on-premises
D. shifts capital expenditures (CAPEX) to operating expenditures (OPEX)
A. enables the rapid provisioning of resources
D. shifts capital expenditures (CAPEX) to operating expenditures (OPEX)
Azure allows you to build, deploy, and manage apps more quickly and easily without having to buy and/or maintain the underlying infrastructure.
Azure provides flexibility between CapEx and OpEx
Capital expenditures generate benefits over a long period. These expenditures are generally nonrecurring and result in the acquisition of permanent assets.
Building an application could qualify as a capital expenditure. Example, Azure Reserved Instances (Azure RI) help Azure’s most active customers save on long- term VM usage reserving VMs in advance at a discounted price by committing to a one or three-year benefits.
Operating expenditures are ongoing costs of doing business. Consuming cloud services in a pay-as-you-go model could qualify as an operating expenditure.
Example, you pay for a service or product as you use it i.e. pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is a feature of an Azure virtual network?
A. resource cost analysis
B. packet inspection
C. geo-redundancy
D. isolation and segmentation
D. isolation and segmentation
Implement network segmentation patterns on Azure.
A unified enterprise segmentation strategy guides technical teams to consistently segment access using networking, applications, identity, and any other access controls. Create segmentation in your network footprint by defining perimeters.
The main reasons for segmentation are:
The ability to group related assets that are a part of (or support) workload operations.
Isolation of resources.
Governance policies set by the organization.
… enables Azure resources to be deployed close to users.

You need to identify the type of failure for which an Azure Availability Zone can be used to protect access to Azure services.
What should you identify?
A. a physical server failure
B. an Azure region failure
C. a storage failure
D. an Azure data center failure
D. an Azure data center failure
Availability zones expand the level of control you have to maintain the availability of the applications and data on your VMs. An Availability Zone is a physically separate zone, within an Azure region. There are three Availability Zones per supported Azure region.
Each Availability Zone has a distinct power source, network, and cooling. By architecting your solutions to use replicated VMs in zones, you can protect your apps and data from the loss of a datacenter. If one zone is compromised, then replicated apps and data are instantly available in another zone.
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.
NAT gateways
Application gateways
Local network gateways
Virtual network gateways
On-premises Data Gateways
Azure Data Box Gateway
Azure Stack Edge / Data Box Gateway
Web Application Firewall policies
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.
You plan to deploy several Azure virtual machines.
You need to ensure that the services running on the virtual machines are available if a single data center fails.
Solution: You deploy the virtual machines to two or more resource groups.
Does this meet the goal?
No (two or more AZs will help)
A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. When you create a resource group, you specify which location to create the resource group in.
However, when you create a virtual machine and place it in the resource group, the virtual machine can still be in a different location (different datacenter).
Therefore, creating multiple resource groups, even if they are in separate datacenters does not ensure that the services running on the virtual machines are available if a single data center fails.
