Q

To achieve a hybrid cloud model, a company must always migrate from a cloud model

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

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.

41
Q

A company can extend the capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud.

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

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.

42
Q

In a public cloud model, only guest users at your company can access the resources in the cloud.

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

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

43
Q

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

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.

44
Q

Azure Virtual Machines: _____________

A. Infrastructure-As-A-Service
B. Platform-As-A-Service
C. Software-As-A-Service

A

A. Infrastructure-As-A-Service

Azure virtual machines are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Infrastructure as a Service is the most flexible category of cloud services. It aims to give you complete control
over the hardware that runs your application (IT infrastructure servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage,
networks, and operating systems). Instead of buying hardware, with IaaS, you rent it.

45
Q

Azure SQL Databases: _______________

A. Infrastructure-As-A-Service
B. Platform-As-A-Service
C. Software-As-A-Service

A

B. Platform-As-A-Service

Azure SQL databases are Platform as a Service (Paas).
Azure SQL Database is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) Database Engine that handles most of
the database management functions such as upgrading, patching, backups, and monitoring without user
involvement. Azure SQL Database is always running on the latest stable version of SQL Server 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.

46
Q

You plan to migrate a web application to Azure. The web application is accessed by external users.

You need to recommend a cloud deployment solution to minimize the amount of administrative effort used to
manage the web application.

What should you include in the recommendation?

A. Software as a Service (SaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
D. Database as a Service (DaaS)

A

B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that lets you create web and mobile apps for any
platform or device and connect to data anywhere, in the cloud or on-premises. App Service includes the web
and mobile capabilities that were previously delivered separately as Azure Websites and Azure Mobile
Services

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/paas-applications-using-app-services

47
Q

Your company hosts an accounting application named App1 that is used by all the customers of the company.

App1 has low usage during the first three weeks of each month and very high usage during the last week of
each month.

Which benefit of Azure Cloud Services supports cost management for this type of usage pattern?

A. high availability
B. high latency
C. elasticity
D. load balancing

A

C. elasticity

Elasticity in this case is the ability to provide additional compute resource when needed and reduce the
compute resource when not needed to reduce costs.

Autoscaling is an example of elasticity.
Elastic computing is the ability to quickly expand or decrease computer processing, memory and storage
resources to meet changing demands without worrying about capacity planning and engineering for peak
usage. Typically controlled by system monitoring tools, elastic computing matches the amount of resources
allocated to the amount of resources actually needed without disrupting operations. With cloud elasticity, a
company avoids paying for unused capacity or idle resources and doesn’t have to worry about investing in the
purchase or maintenance of additional resources and equipment.

48
Q

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 an Azure App Service and Azure Storage accounts.

Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

A

B. No

Azure App Service is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) service. However, Azure Storage accounts are an IaaS
(Infrastructure as a Service) service. Therefore, this solution does not meet the goal.

49
Q

Your company plans to migrate all its data and resources to Azure.

51
Q

When planning to migrate a public website to Azure, you must plan to ______________________

A. Deploy a VPN
B. Pay monthly usage cost
C. Pay to transfer all the website data to Azure
D. Reduce the number of connections to the website

A

B. Pay monthly usage cost

When planning to migrate a public website to Azure, you must plan to pay monthly usage costs. This is
because Azure uses the pay-as-you-go model.

52
Q

What are two characteristics of the public cloud? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point

A. dedicated hardware
B. unsecured connections
C. limited storage
D. metered pricing
E. self-service management

A

D. metered pricing
E. self-service management

With the public cloud, you get pay-as-you-go pricing – you pay only for what you use, no CapEx costs.
With the public cloud, you have self-service management. You are responsible for the deployment and
configuration of the cloud resources such as virtual machines or web sites. The underlying hardware that
hosts the cloud resources is managed by the cloud provider.

53
Q

An Organization that hosts its infrastructure ____________ no longer requires a data center.

A. in a private cloud
B. in a hybrid cloud
C. in the public cloud
D. on a Hyper-V host

A

C. in a public cloud

A private cloud is hosted in your datacenter. Therefore, you cannot close your datacenter if you are using a
private cloud.
A public cloud is hosted externally, for example, in Microsoft Azure. An organization that hosts its infrastructure
in a public cloud can close its data center.
Public cloud is the most common deployment model. In this case, you have no local hardware to manage or
keep up-to-date – everything runs on your cloud provider’s hardware.
Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud provider.
In a private cloud, you create a cloud environment in your own datacenter and provide self-service access to
compute resources to users in your organization. This offers a simulation of a public cloud to your users, but
you remain completely responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the hardware and software services
you provide.

54
Q

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.

What should you include in the recommendation?

A. fault tolerance
B. elasticity
C. scalability
D. low latency

A

A. fault tolerance

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue to function in the event of a failure of some of its
components.

55
Q

When you are implementing a software as a service (SaaS) solution, you are responsible for _____________

A. configuring high availability
B. defining scalability rules
C. installing the SaaS solution
D. Configuring the SaaS solution

A

D. 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.

Azure provides flexibility between capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational exponditure (OpEx).

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

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 “as a Service” model of purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources

57
Q

If you create two Azure virtual machines that use the B2S size, each virtual machine will always generate the same monthly costs.

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations. Therefore, the monthly
costs could be different.

58
Q

When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you continue to pay storage costs associated to the
virtual machine.

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

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.

59
Q

A platform as a service (PaaS) solution that hosts web apps in Azure provides full control of the operating systems that host applications.

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

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.

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

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.

61
Q

A platform as a service (PaaS) solution that hosts web apps in Azure provides professional development services to continuously add features to custom applications.

A. True
B. False

A

A. True

PaaS provides a framework that developers can build upon to develop or customize cloud-based applications.
PaaS development tools can cut the time it takes to code new apps with pre-coded application components
built into the platform, such as workflow, directory services, security features, search and so on.

62
Q

When you purchase an Azure Reservation instance, you should ensure budget is allocated toward operational expenditure

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

When you purchase an Azure Reservation instance, you should ensure budget is allocated toward capital expenditure (CE). Since you are making a one-time bulk acquisition, you are pre-paying for services, hence CE

63
Q

The use and deployment of virtual machines is always associated with operational expenditure

A. True
B. False

A

B. False

The use and deployment of virtual machines is not always associated with operational expenditure (OE). You can reserve virtual machine instances, which eliminates the use of pay-as-you-go or OE spending.
