Question 1

Overview

Answer 1

1) Creating data-centric web applications
2) Working with Big Data and the Internet of Things
3) Building enterprise mobile applications
4) Creating media applications
5) Managing related services

Question 2

Creating data-centric web applications ingredients

Answer 2

1) automatically abstract schemas out of data sets to re-enable structured queries
2) use full-text indexes
3) Content Delivery Networks

Question 3

Map between Azure services and application features

Answer 3

1) Search and query ->DocumentDB, Azure search
2) cache -> Azure cache, CDN
3) Recommendation - >Azure search, azure machine learning

Question 4

Azure DocumentDB features

Answer 4

1) NoSQL database for JSON documents
2) It automatically indexes all documents for relational and hierarchical queries.
3) DocumentDB is optimized for frequent writes

Question 5

Azure Search

Answer 5

1) Instead of trying to manually locate the correct page to view, users can easily acquire the most relevant data by performing simple searches
2) autosuggestion, autocompletion, faceted searches, results highlighting, spell corrections, and geospatial searches

Question 6

Azure CDN

Answer 6

1) caches static compute contents and Blobs such as images, stylesheets, and script files on its physical nodes across the globe
2) faster response time by serving contents from locations closest to the end user, and second, it removes a large portion of content serving workloads from the service servers

Question 7

Big Data pipeline comprises

Answer 7

1) data producers,
2) data collectors,
3) data ingestors,
4) data transformation,
5) long-term storage,
6) analysis, and presentation and action

Question 8

Data ingestors

Answer 8

Data ingestors take data into the cloud at great scale. They are the starting points of the data processing pipeline in the cloud.

Question 9

Event Hubs description

Answer 9

Event Hubs facilitats efficient data ingress at scale. An event hub can connect to more than one million data producers, with over 1 Gbps aggregated throughput. You can send data to Event Hubs through either HTTP or AMQP.

Question 10

Event Hubs provides such scale by

Answer 10

1) create multiple partitions that work in parallel
2) can directly address a partition by its partition ID.
3) it can use hash-based distribution or random distribution

Question 11

Event Hubs consuming side

Answer 11

1) Consumer Groups are different views of the same data stream
2) You can receive data by using either .NET API or a generic AMQP 1.0 client.
3) Supporting AMQP enables great interoperability with existing queue clients of other platforms.

Question 12

Stream Analytics

Answer 12

1) SQL-like language for you to easily filter, project, aggregate, and join data streams by using familiar SQL syntax
2) advanced scenarios such as pattern detections with a few lines of SQL code

Question 13

Azure Machine Learning

Answer 13

1) classification, ranking, clustering, and prediction scenarios
2) web-based drag-and-drop UI for you to build and test models, with minimum coding required
3) rich set of best-in-class machine learning algorithms out of the box. And, you can extend it by using R

Question 14

Building enterprise mobile applications - ingredients

Answer 14

1) Azure Active Directory, Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL), SSO
2) Azure Application Proxy and Service Bus Relay - to access on site services
3) Azure Notification Hub - push notifications
4) Azure Mobile Services - turn-key solution

Question 15

Security and compliance

Answer 15

1) Workplace join
2) Key Vault
3) Azure Rights management

Question 16

On premises integration

Answer 16

1) BizTalk API apps hybrid connection
2) Application proxy
3) Service bus relay

Question 17

BizTalk API Apps Hybrid Connections

Answer 17

1) Mobile Services and Azure Websites can connect to on-premises resources that use static TCP ports, such as SQL Server and Web API.
2) Hybrid Connections requires only outbound TCP or HTTP connections.
3) It uses standard HTTP and HTTPS ports.
4) It also uses port 5671 for connecting to Azure, and port 9352 for data exchange when these ports are available.

Question 18

Azure Notification Hubs

Answer 18

1) platform-specific Platform Notification Systems
2) Windows Notification Services (WNS).
3) For iOS devices, the service is Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)

Question 19

Resource groups

Answer 19

Using Azure resource groups, you can manage all resources in an application as a logical unit. This logical unit provides a lifecycle boundary and a security context across all resources in the application.

Question 20

Lifecycle boundary

Answer 20

You can describe all resources of an application in a single JSON-based template. You can provision or de-provision all resources at the same time.

Question 21

Security context

Answer 21

You can apply Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies to a resource group. All resources in the group inherit the group-level policies.

Question 22

The Preview Management Portal

Answer 22

1) focuses on application-centric views instead of resource-centric views provided by the existing portal.
2) customize your views to bring in all application-related information into the same window
