test12 Flashcards by Quoc Nguyen

Your company has an azure subscription that includes a storage account, a resource group, a blob container and a file share.
A colleague named Jon Ross makes use of a solitary Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template to deploy a virtual machine and an additional Azure Storage account.
You want to review the ARM template that was used by Jon Ross.
Solution: You access the Resource Group blade.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

The correct answer is B - No.
Here’s why:
While the Resource Group blade does show deployed resources, it doesn’t directly show you the actual ARM template that was used for deployment. The Resource Group blade primarily shows:
List of resources in the resource group
Resource group properties
Access control (IAM)
Tags
Overview of costs
Activity logs
To actually review the ARM template that was used, you would need to:
Go to the Resource Group
Click on “Deployments” in the left menu
Select the specific deployment
Click on “Template” to see the actual ARM template that was used
Important notes for AZ-104 exam:
ARM Template Review Methods:
Through Deployment History
Through Export Template feature
Through Activity Log
Key locations to find deployment information:
Deployments section in Resource Group
Activity Log
Template Specs service
Azure Portal’s Template Export feature
Best Practices:
Always save your ARM templates for future reference
Use version control for templates
Document template parameters and variables
Use template specs for organization-wide template management
Understand how to review deployment history for troubleshooting
ARM Template Components to know:
Parameters
Variables
Resources
Outputs
Functions
Dependencies
Remember that being able to review and understand ARM templates is a crucial skill for Azure administrators, as it’s essential for infrastructure as code (IaC) practices and troubleshooting deployment issues.

HOTSPOT

You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that contains a blob container. The blob container has a default access tier of Hot. Storage1 contains a container named container1.
You create lifecycle management rules in storage1 as shown in the following table.

You perform the actions shown in the following table.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

Answer Area

| Statements | Yes | No |
|—|—|—|
| On October 10, you can read Dep1File1.docx. | ○ | ○ |
| On October 10, you can read File2.docx. | ○ | ○ |
| On October 10, you can read File3.docx. | ○ | ○ |

Let me analyze each file’s status on October 10 based on the rules and actions:
“On October 10, you can read Dep1File1.docx” Answer: NO
Why:
File is in container1/Dep1 path (matches Rule1)
Last modified on October 2
Rule1: After 2 days of no modification → moves to archive storage
By October 10, it’s been 8 days since last modification
File is in archive tier
Archive tier requires rehydration before reading
Cannot directly read archived files
“On October 10, you can read File2.docx” Answer: YES
Why:
File is not in Dep1 path (only Rule2 applies)
Last modified on October 5
Rule2: After 3 days → cool storage
By October 10, it’s been 5 days
File is in cool storage tier
Cool storage allows immediate read access
“On October 10, you can read File3.docx” Answer: YES
Why:
File is not in Dep1 path (only Rule2 applies)
Last modified on October 2
Rule2: After 3 days → cool storage
By October 10, it’s been 8 days
File is in cool storage tier
Cool storage allows immediate read access
Key Points:
Archive tier requires rehydration before reading
Cool tier allows immediate read access
Rule1 takes precedence for files in container1/Dep1
Rule2 applies to all other files
Time calculations are based on last modification date

You have an Azure subscription that contains the storage accounts shown in the following table.
Name Kind Redundancy
storage1 StorageV2 Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS)
storage2 BlobStorage Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)
storage3 BlockBlobStorage Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
You need to identify which storage accounts support lifecycle management, and which storage accounts support moving data to the Archive access tier.
Which storage accounts should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer Area
Lifecycle management:
storage1 only
storage2 only
storage1 and storage3 only
storage2 and storage3 only
storage1, storage2, and storage3
The Archive access tier:
storage1 only
storage2 only
storage1 and storage3 only
storage2 and storage3 only
storage1, storage2, and storage3
Which option is correct in per question on answer area? why correct?

Lifecycle Management
Lifecycle management allows for automatic management of data lifecycle policies, including transitioning data between access tiers (e.g., Hot, Cool, Archive) and deleting data after a specified period.
Support for lifecycle management is as follows:
StorageV2: Supports lifecycle management.
BlobStorage: Supports lifecycle management.
BlockBlobStorage: Does not support lifecycle management.
From the table:
storage1 → StorageV2 → Supports lifecycle management ✅
storage2 → BlobStorage → Supports lifecycle management ✅
storage3 → BlockBlobStorage → Does not support lifecycle management ❌
Thus, the correct answer for lifecycle management is:
storage1 and storage2 only
Archive Access Tier
The Archive access tier is used to store data that is rarely accessed and has very low storage costs but high retrieval costs.
Support for the Archive access tier is as follows:
StorageV2: Supports the Archive access tier.
BlobStorage: Supports the Archive access tier.
BlockBlobStorage: Supports the Archive access tier.
From the table:
storage1 → StorageV2 → Supports Archive access tier ✅
storage2 → BlobStorage → Supports Archive access tier ✅
storage3 → BlockBlobStorage → Supports Archive access tier ✅
Thus, the correct answer for Archive access tier is:
storage1, storage2, and storage3
Final Answer
Lifecycle management: storage1 and storage2 only
Archive access tier: storage1, storage2, and storage3

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a storage account named storage1 that has the lifecycle management rules shown in the following table.

On June 1, you store two blobs in storage1 as shown in the following table.

| Name | Location | Access tier |
| :—– | :———– | :———– |
| File1 | container1 | Hot |
| File2 | container2 | Hot |

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer Area

Statements

On June 6, File1 will be stored in the Cool access tier.

On June 1, File2 will be stored in the Cool access tier.

On June 16, File2 will be stored in the Archive access tier.
Which option is correct in per question on answer area? why yes? why no?

Let me help you analyze each statement based on the lifecycle management rules:
“On June 6, File1 will be stored in the Cool access tier.”
Answer: NO
Explanation:
File1 is in container1
Rule1 applies to container1/ and moves blobs to archive storage after 3 days
Rule2 (move to cool after 5 days) applies to all containers, but Rule1 will execute first
By June 6 (5 days later), File1 would already be in archive storage (moved there on June 4 by Rule1)
“On June 1, File2 will be stored in the Cool access tier.”
Answer: NO
Explanation:
This is the same day the file was stored
No lifecycle rules would trigger immediately
The file remains in its original Hot tier on the day it was created
“On June 16, File2 will be stored in the Archive access tier.”
Answer: NO
Explanation:
File2 is in container2
Rule3 applies to container2/ and deletes blobs after 10 days
Rule4 applies to container2/ and moves to archive after 15 days
By June 16 (15 days later), File2 would have already been deleted by Rule3 on June 11
Therefore, it cannot be moved to archive storage as it no longer exists
The key to understanding these answers is that:
Rules are evaluated in chronological order based on the number of days
Once a rule takes action on a blob, subsequent rules cannot affect it
If a blob is deleted by a rule, it cannot be affected by later rules

Cert1

Cert2

Cert3

Cert4

The correct answer is A - Cert1
Here’s why:
Cert1 is the appropriate choice because:
It’s in PKCS#12 format, which is required for TLS certificates in App Service
PKCS#12 includes both the certificate and private key
2048-bit RSA key size is sufficient for TLS security
Why other options are incorrect:
B. Cert2:
While it’s PKCS#12, the 4096-bit key size is unnecessary
Would use more resources without significant security benefit
More expensive in terms of computational overhead
C. Cert3:
PEM format only
Not suitable for direct use in App Service
Would require conversion to PKCS#12
D. Cert4:
PEM format only
4096-bit key is unnecessary
Wrong format for App Service
Important notes for AZ-104 exam:
Certificate Requirements for App Service:
Must be in PKCS#12 format
Must include private key
Minimum 2048-bit key size
Must be valid and not expired
Must be uploaded to Azure Key Vault [1]

HOTSPOT What is required to implement the encryption scope Scope1 in storage2? Answer Area

StorageV2 account type

Premium performance tier

Hierarchical namespace disabled

Hierarchical namespace enabled

The correct answer requires:
StorageV2 account type: Required ✓
Hierarchical namespace disabled: Required ✓
Premium performance tier: Not required ✘
Hierarchical namespace enabled: Not required ✘
Here’s why:
Requirements for creating an encryption scope:
StorageV2 account type is required because:
Encryption scopes are only supported on StorageV2 accounts
Storage2 is already a StorageV2 account, so this requirement is met
Hierarchical namespace must be disabled because:
Encryption scopes are not compatible with hierarchical namespace (HNS)
From the scenario, storage2 already has HNS disabled, so this requirement is met
Why other options are incorrect:
Premium performance tier:
Not required for encryption scopes
Can work with both standard and premium tiers
Hierarchical namespace enabled:
Actually prevents encryption scopes from working
Contradicts the requirement for encryption scopes
Important notes for AZ-104 exam:
Storage Account Features:
Know the differences between storage account types
Understand feature compatibility
Remember which features work together and which don’t
Encryption Scope Requirements:
Only works with StorageV2 accounts
Not compatible with HNS
Can be used with both standard and premium performance tiers
Can be configured with either Microsoft-managed or customer-managed keys
Hierarchical Namespace (HNS):
Used for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
Enables folder-level operations
Has certain feature limitations
Not compatible with some storage features
Storage Account Types:
StorageV2 (General Purpose v2)
BlockBlobStorage
FileStorage
Storage (General Purpose v1)
Key Concepts:
Infrastructure encryption
Customer-managed keys
Microsoft-managed keys
Azure Key Vault integration
Best Practices:
Plan storage account features before creation
Understand feature compatibility
Consider security requirements
Follow the principle of least privilege
Remember that encryption scopes provide an additional layer of encryption management for blob storage, allowing you to manage encryption at the container or blob level.

Explanation:

Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) supports virtual machines with managed disks, which include VM2 (Windows with basic volume) and VM3 (RHEL with SSD). VM1 (ephemeral disk) and VM4 (Write Accelerator) are unsupported.
The key encryption key (KEK) must use a RSA key with a size of 4096, as it provides strong encryption for Azure Disk Encryption.

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named storage1. The storage1 account contains blobs in a container named container1. You plan to share access to storage1. You need to generate a shared access signature (SAS). The solution must meet the following requirements: * Ensure that the SAS can only be used to enumerate and download blobs stored in container1. * Use the principle of least privilege. Which three settings should you enable? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area. Answer Area Allowed services ✓ Blob ☐ File ☐ Queue ☐ Table Allowed resource types ☐ Service ☐ Container ☐ Object Allowed permissions ☐ Read ☐ Write ☐ Delete ☐ List ☐ Add ☐ Create ☐ Update ☐ Process ☐ Immutable storage ☐ Permanent delete Blob versioning permissions ☐ Enables deletion of versions Allowed blob index permissions ☐ Read/Write ☐ Filter

Final Answer Allowed services: Blob Allowed resource types: Container and Object Allowed permissions: Read and List Requirements Ensure the SAS can only be used to enumerate and download blobs stored in container1. "Enumerate" means listing the blobs in the container. "Download" means reading the blob data. Use the principle of least privilege. Least privilege means enabling only the minimum permissions and settings necessary to achieve the task. Settings to Enable 1. Allowed Services The service you need to allow is Blob because you are sharing access to blobs in container1. You do not need File, Queue, or Table services since the requirement is specific to blobs. ✅ Correct answer: Blob 2. Allowed Resource Types Resource Types refer to the scope of access: Service: Gives access to service-level operations (e.g., list containers in a storage account). Container: Gives access to container-level operations (e.g., listing blobs within a container). Object: Gives access to individual blobs (e.g., downloading blob content). To list blobs and download them: You need access to the Container to enumerate the blobs. You need access to the Object to download the blob data. ✅ Correct answer: Container and Object 3. Allowed Permissions Permissions define what actions can be performed: Read: Allows downloading blob content and reading properties. List: Allows enumerating the blobs in the container. To meet the requirements: You need Read to download the blobs. You need List to enumerate (list) the blobs. Write, Delete, Add, Update, etc., are unnecessary since they violate the principle of least privilege. ✅ Correct answer: Read and List Other Settings Blob versioning permissions: Not relevant because there’s no mention of versions or deletions. Allowed blob index permissions: Not needed as filtering or writing indexes is not part of the requirement.

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named storage1. You need to configure a shared access signature (SAS) to ensure that users can only download blobs securely by name. Which two settings should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point. Answer Area Allowed services ✓ Blob ☐ File ☐ Queue ☐ Table Allowed resource types ☐ Service ☐ Container ☐ Object Allowed permissions ☐ Read ☐ Write ☐ Delete ☐ List ☐ Add ☐ Create ☐ Update ☐ Process ☐ Immutable storage ☐ Permanent delete Blob versioning permissions ☐ Enables deletion of versions Allowed blob index permissions ☐ Read/Write ☐ Filter

Final Answer Allowed services: Blob Allowed resource types: Object Allowed permissions: Read Requirements "Users can only download blobs securely" Downloading a blob requires Read permissions. "By name" This implies that access should be scoped to individual blobs (Object level), not to the entire container or storage account. Settings to Configure 1. Allowed Services Since the requirement is to download blobs, the only relevant service is Blob. File, Queue, and Table services are unrelated. ✅ Correct Answer: Blob 2. Allowed Resource Types Resource types determine the scope of access: Service: Allows service-level operations (not needed here). Container: Allows operations at the container level (e.g., list blobs in a container). Object: Grants access to individual blobs (needed to download blobs by name). To ensure access to blobs by name, you must grant access to the Object resource type only. ✅ Correct Answer: Object 3. Allowed Permissions To allow downloading of blobs, you need to enable Read permission. Other permissions (e.g., Write, Delete, List, Add) are unnecessary and would violate the principle of least privilege. ✅ Correct Answer: Read Other Settings Blob versioning permissions: Not relevant, as versioning or deletion of blob versions is not mentioned. Allowed blob index permissions: Not applicable, as indexing or filtering blobs is not part of the requirement.

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table. Name Type Location VM1 Virtual machine East US storage1 Storage account West US You need to ensure that data transfers between storage1 and VM1 do NOT traverse the internet What should you configure for storage1? A. data protection B. a private endpoint C. Public network access in the Firewalls and virtual networks settings D. a shared access signature (SAS) which option is correct? why correct?

The correct answer is B. a private endpoint. Here's why: A private endpoint is the correct solution because: Private Endpoints: Creates a private IP address for the storage account within your VNet Enables private connectivity between VM1 and storage1 over Azure's backbone network Completely eliminates exposure to the public internet Provides secure access to the storage account using Azure Private Link Why other options are incorrect: A. Data protection: This is focused on backup and recovery features Doesn't affect network routing or connectivity Doesn't prevent internet traversal C. Public network access in Firewalls and virtual networks: While this can restrict access from specific networks Traffic would still potentially traverse the internet Doesn't provide private connectivity D. Shared access signature (SAS): This is an authentication mechanism Doesn't affect the network path Traffic would still go over the internet Only provides secure access tokens The scenario requirements: VM1 and storage1 are in different regions (East US and West US) Need to prevent internet traversal Need secure communication between the resources By implementing a private endpoint: Traffic stays on the Microsoft network backbone Provides secure and direct connectivity Eliminates exposure to the public internet Works across regions within Azure Provides the most secure and recommended way to access Azure Storage accounts from virtual machines

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that stores images. You need to create a new storage account and replicate the images in storage1 to the new account by using object replication. How should you configure the new account? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area: Answer Area Account type: StorageV2 only StorageV2 or FileStorage only StorageV2 or BlobStorage only StorageV2, BlobStorage, or FileStorage Object type to create in the new account: Container File share Table Queue

Let me explain the correct answers for configuring the new storage account for object replication: Account type: Correct answer: "StorageV2 only" Why? Object replication requires StorageV2 accounts Only General-purpose v2 (StorageV2) accounts support blob object replication BlobStorage and FileStorage accounts don't support object replication Both source and destination accounts must be StorageV2 StorageV2 provides the latest features and recommended pricing model Object type to create in the new account: Correct answer: "Container" Why? Object replication is specifically for blob data Containers are required to store blobs (images in this case) Object replication works at the container level Other options are incorrect because: File shares are for SMB-based file storage Tables are for structured NoSQL data Queues are for message storage Since the source account stores images and we're using object replication, we need containers in the destination account Key requirements for object replication: Both source and destination must be StorageV2 accounts Both accounts must have versioning enabled Both accounts need containers configured The source and destination containers must exist before setting up replication rules This configuration ensures proper object replication of the images from storage1 to the new storage account.

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources in the following table. Name Type RG1 Resource group store1 Azure Storage account Sync1 Azure File Sync Store1 contains a file share named data. Data contains 5,000 files. You need to synchronize the files in the file share named data to an on-premises server named Server1. Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. Create a container instance B. Register Server1 C. Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 D. Download an automation script E. Create a sync group which option is correct on per question answer area? why correct?

Correct Answers: B. Register Server1 C. Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 E. Create a sync group Explanation of Each Step 1. Register Server1 (Option B) Before you can synchronize data to an on-premises server, you need to register the server in the Azure File Sync service. Registering the server allows Azure to identify the Server1 as a target endpoint for the sync process. This is done in the Azure portal under Azure File Sync > Registered Servers. 2. Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 (Option C) The Azure File Sync agent must be installed on the on-premises server (Server1) to enable the synchronization process. The agent is responsible for syncing data between the Azure file share (stored in store1) and the server. Without the agent, Azure cannot communicate with the on-premises server. 3. Create a Sync Group (Option E) A Sync Group is required to manage the synchronization relationship between the Azure file share (source) and the on-premises server (target). In the Sync Group: You add the Azure file share as the cloud endpoint. You add the on-premises Server1 as the server endpoint. This ensures that the files in the file share named data will synchronize to Server1. Why Other Options Are Incorrect A. Create a container instance: Azure Container Instances are unrelated to Azure File Sync. They are used for running containers, not synchronizing files. D. Download an automation script: Automation scripts are used for automating resource deployment or management. They are not part of the Azure File Sync process.

DRAG DROP - You have an on-premises file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure file share. You deploy an Azure File Sync Storage Sync Service, and you create a sync group. You need to synchronize files from Server1 to Azure. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. Select and Place: Actions Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 Create an Azure on-premises data gateway Create a Recovery Services vault Register Server1 Add a server endpoint Install the DFS Replication server role on Server1 Answer Area which action is correct to move to answer area? why correct?

The correct sequence of actions for synchronizing files from Server1 to Azure using Azure File Sync is: [1] Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 [2] Register Server1 Add a server endpoint Here's why this is the correct sequence: Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1 This is always the first step The agent must be installed before any other actions can be taken Enables the server to work with Azure File Sync Provides necessary components for sync functionality Register Server1 Must be done after agent installation Establishes trust between the server and Azure File Sync service Links the server to your Azure subscription Required before you can create endpoints Add a server endpoint Final step to specify which folders to sync Connects the local server folder to the sync group Defines the synchronization relationship Can only be done after server registration is complete Why other options are incorrect: "Create an Azure on-premises data gateway" Not required for Azure File Sync Used for different Azure services "Create a Recovery Services vault" Not needed for Azure File Sync Used for Azure Backup and Site Recovery "Install the DFS Replication server role on Server1" Not required for Azure File Sync Different technology for file replication This sequence provides the minimum required steps to get Azure File Sync working properly between Server1 and Azure.

You plan to automate the deployment of a virtual machine scale set that uses the Windows Server 2016 Datacenter image. You need to ensure that when the scale set virtual machines are provisioned, they have web server components installed. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. Upload a configuration script B. Create an automation account C. Create an Azure policy D. Modify the extensionProfile section of the Azure Resource Manager template E. Create a new virtual machine scale set in the Azure portal which is correct? why correct?

The correct answers are A and D. Let me explain why these two actions are needed to ensure web server components are installed during virtual machine scale set provisioning: A. Upload a configuration script Why correct: A configuration script (like PowerShell) is needed to install the web server components (IIS) The script would contain commands to install and configure the web server features Can be stored in Azure Storage or other accessible location Example script content might include: Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools Copy Insert at cursor powershell D. Modify the extensionProfile section of the Azure Resource Manager template Why correct: The extensionProfile in the ARM template allows you to specify custom scripts to run during deployment Links the configuration script to the scale set deployment Ensures the script runs automatically when new instances are provisioned Can be configured to run during initial deployment and scale-out events Why other options are incorrect: B. Create an automation account Not required for VMSS deployment customization Used for automation runbooks, not initial VM configuration Overkill for this specific requirement C. Create an Azure policy Policies are for enforcing compliance rules Don't handle installation of components Not related to VM customization during deployment E. Create a new virtual machine scale set in the Azure portal [1] Manual portal creation doesn't provide automation Doesn't address the requirement for automated deployment Doesn't ensure consistent configuration across instances Example extensionProfile configuration: "extensionProfile": { "extensions": [ { "name": "CustomScriptExtension", "properties": { "publisher": "Microsoft.Compute", "type": "CustomScriptExtension", "typeHandlerVersion": "1.9", "autoUpgradeMinorVersion": true, "settings": { "fileUris": [""], "commandToExecute": "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File " } } } ] } Copy Insert at cursor json This combination ensures that: The configuration script contains the necessary commands to install web server components The extensionProfile executes the script during deployment All new instances will have web server components installed automatically The solution is fully automated and consistent

You have an Azure subscription. You create the following Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template named Template.json. { "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "parameters": {}, "variables": {}, "resources": [ { "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups", "apiVersion": "2022-12-01", "location": "eastus", "name": "Marketing" } ], "outputs": {} } You need to deploy Template.json. Which PowerShell cmdlet should you run from Azure Cloud Shell? A. New-AzSubscriptionDeployment B. New-AzManagementGroupDeployment C. New-AzResourceGroupDeployment D. New-AzTenantDeployment which one is correct? why correct?

The correct answer is A. New-AzSubscriptionDeployment Here's why: The template is deploying a resource group: "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups" Copy Insert at cursor json This indicates a subscription-level deployment Resource groups are created at the subscription scope You cannot create a resource group from within a resource group deployment New-AzSubscriptionDeployment: Used for subscription-level deployments Can create resource groups Appropriate for templates that create subscription-level resources Matches the scope needed for this template Why other options are incorrect: B. New-AzManagementGroupDeployment: Used for management group level deployments Higher scope than needed Used when deploying resources across multiple subscriptions C. New-AzResourceGroupDeployment: Used for deploying resources within an existing resource group Cannot create new resource groups Wrong scope for this template D. New-AzTenantDeployment: Used for tenant-level deployments Highest scope available Used for tenant-wide resources like management groups Too broad for this template Example usage of the correct command: New-AzSubscriptionDeployment ` -Name "MarketingDeployment" ` -Location "eastus" ` -TemplateFile "Template.json" Copy Insert at cursor powershell This command will: Deploy at the subscription level Create the Marketing resource group Use the specified template Execute at the correct scope for resource group creation

You have an Azure subscription that contains two peered virtual networks named VNet1 and VNet2. VNet1 has a VPN gateway that uses static routing, The on-premises network has a VPN connection that uses the VPN gateway of VNet1. You need to configure access for users on the on-premises network to connect to a virtual machine on VNet2. The solution must minimize costs. Which type of connectivity should you use? A. Azure Firewall with a private IP address B. service chaining and user-defined routes (UDRs) C. Azure Application Gateway D. ExpressRoute circuits to VNet2 which one is correct? why correct?

The correct answer is B. service chaining and user-defined routes (UDRs) Here's why: Service Chaining and UDRs: Allows traffic to flow from on-premises → VNet1 → VNet2 through the existing VPN gateway Uses existing infrastructure (VPN gateway and peering) Most cost-effective solution as it requires no additional paid services UDRs can direct traffic through the VPN gateway to reach VNet2 Key components: Existing VPN gateway in VNet1 Existing VNet peering between VNet1 and VNet2 UDRs to define the route for on-premises traffic Why other options are incorrect: A. Azure Firewall with a private IP address: Requires additional costs for Azure Firewall deployment Unnecessary since routing can be achieved with UDRs More complex solution than needed C. Azure Application Gateway: Used for HTTP/HTTPS traffic load balancing Not designed for general network routing Additional unnecessary cost Wrong solution for this networking requirement D. ExpressRoute circuits to VNet2: Most expensive solution Requires new circuit and infrastructure Unnecessary when VPN and peering already exist Overkill for the requirement Implementation steps: Configure gateway transit on the VNet peering Create UDRs to route on-premises traffic through the VPN gateway Apply the routes to the appropriate subnets This solution: Uses existing infrastructure Minimizes additional costs Provides required connectivity Is the most efficient approach

You have an Azure subscription that contains two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2. You create an Azure load balancer. You plan to create a load balancing rule that will load balance HTTPS traffic between VM1 and VM2. Which two additional load balancer resources should you create before you can create the load balancing rule? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. A. a frontend IP address B. an inbound NAT rule C. a virtual network D. a backend pool E. a health probe which one is correct? why correct?

The correct answers are A (a frontend IP address) and D (a backend pool). Here's why these two resources are required before creating a load balancing rule: A. Frontend IP address Why correct: Acts as the entry point for incoming traffic Required to receive incoming HTTPS requests Provides a single point of contact for clients Must be configured before creating load balancing rules Can be either public or private IP address D. Backend pool Why correct: Defines the group of VMs (VM1 and VM2) that will receive traffic Required to distribute the traffic across multiple VMs [1] Must be configured to specify which VMs will handle the requests Essential component for load balancing functionality Why other options are incorrect: B. Inbound NAT rule Optional feature for port forwarding Not required for basic load balancing Used for direct VM access, not load balancing C. Virtual network Already exists since VMs are deployed Not a load balancer resource Network infrastructure component E. Health probe While recommended, it's not mandatory Can create a load balancing rule without a health probe Good practice but not required Required configuration sequence: Create frontend IP address Create backend pool and add VM1 and VM2 Create load balancing rule Example load balancer configuration: [2] { { "frontendIPConfigurations": [ { "name": "frontendIP", "properties": { "publicIPAddress": { "id": "[variables('publicIPAddressID')]" } } } ], "backendAddressPools": [ { "name": "backendPool", "properties": { "loadBalancerBackendAddresses": [ { "name": "VM1", "properties": {} }, { "name": "VM2", "properties": {} } ] } } ] } Copy Insert at cursor json This configuration ensures: A frontend IP to receive traffic A backend pool containing VM1 and VM2 Proper foundation for the HTTPS load balancing rule

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains virtual machines that connect to a virtual network named VNet1. You plan to configure Azure Monitor for VM Insights. You need to ensure that all the virtual machines only communicate with Azure Monitor through VNet1. What should you create first? A. a data collection rule (DCR) B. a Log Analytics workspace C. an Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS) D. a private endpoint which one is correct? why correct?

The correct answer is C. an Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS) Here's why AMPLS is the first component you should create: Azure Monitor Private Link Scope (AMPLS): Enables private connectivity to Azure Monitor services Acts as a container for private endpoints Required to ensure monitoring traffic stays on VNet1 Must be created before configuring private endpoints Provides secure access to Azure Monitor resources Key benefits of AMPLS: Ensures monitoring data stays on private network Prevents data exfiltration Provides network isolation Enables compliance requirements Why other options are incorrect: A. Data collection rule (DCR): Used to define what data to collect Doesn't handle network connectivity Created after setting up private connectivity Not related to private network communication B. Log Analytics workspace: While required for VM Insights Doesn't handle private connectivity Will be linked to AMPLS later Not the first component needed D. Private endpoint: Required but created after AMPLS Cannot be created without AMPLS Connects to AMPLS Second step in the process Correct implementation sequence: Create AMPLS Create private endpoints Create Log Analytics workspace Link workspace to AMPLS Create data collection rules This ensures: All monitoring traffic stays on VNet1 Secure private communication Proper network isolation Compliant monitoring setup

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1 that contains the resources shown in the following table: | Name | Type | Location | Resource group | |---|---|---|---| | RG1 | Resource group | East US | Not applicable | | RG2 | Resource group | West US | Not applicable | | Vault1 | Recovery Services vault | West Europe | RG1 | | storage1 | Storage account | East US | RG2 | | storage2 | Storage account | West US | RG1 | | storage3 | Storage account | West Europe | RG2 | | Analytics1 | Log Analytics workspace | East US | RG1 | | Analytics2 | Log Analytics workspace | West US | RG2 | | Analytics3 | Log Analytics workspace | West Europe | RG1 | You plan to configure Azure Backup reports for Vault1. You are configuring the Diagnostics settings for the AzureBackupReports log. Which storage accounts and which Log Analytics workspaces can you use for the Azure Backup reports of Vault1? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area: Answer Area Storage accounts: storage1 only storage2 only storage3 only storage1, storage2, and storage3 Log Analytics workspaces: Analytics1 only Analytics2 only Analytics3 only Analytics1, Analytics2, and Analytics3 which option is correct in per question on answer area? why correct?

Let me help you analyze this scenario for Azure Backup reports configuration. For Vault1 (located in West Europe), here's the analysis for both storage accounts and Log Analytics workspaces: Storage Accounts Answer: storage3 only Why? For Azure Diagnostic settings, the storage account must be in the same region as the resource being monitored (Vault1) Vault1 is in West Europe Only storage3 is in West Europe storage1 (East US) and storage2 (West US) are in different regions, so they cannot be used Log Analytics Workspaces Answer: Analytics1, Analytics2, and Analytics3 Why? Unlike storage accounts, Log Analytics workspaces can collect data from resources in any region There is no regional restriction for Log Analytics workspaces Therefore, all three workspaces (Analytics1, Analytics2, and Analytics3) can be used regardless of their location Key Principle: Storage accounts must be in the same region as the monitored resource for diagnostic settings Log Analytics workspaces can collect data across regions without restriction This is why storage3 is the only valid storage account option, while all Log Analytics workspaces are valid choices for the Azure Backup reports of Vault1.

You have a Recovery Services vault named RSV1. RSV1 has a backup policy that retains instant snapshots for five days and daily backup for 14 days. RSV1 performs daily backups of VM1. VM1 hosts a static website that was updated eight days ago. You need to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago. The solution must minimize downtime. What should you do first? A. Deallocate VM1. B. Restore VM1 by using the Replace existing restore configuration option. C. Delete VM1. D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. which one is correct? why correct?

The correct answer is B: Restore VM1 by using the Replace existing restore configuration option. Let's analyze why this is the correct choice: Scenario details: You need to recover VM1 to a point 8 days ago The website was updated 8 days ago The backup policy retains: Instant snapshots for 5 days [1] Daily backups for 14 days Goal is to minimize downtime Why B is correct: The "Replace existing" option: Restores directly to the source VM location Is faster than creating a new VM Minimizes downtime as requested Can use the backup from 8 days ago (within the 14-day retention period) Why other options are incorrect: A. Deallocate VM1 Not necessary as a first step Would cause unnecessary downtime Doesn't contribute to the recovery process C. Delete VM1 Would cause unnecessary downtime Creates more work than needed Doesn't align with minimizing downtime requirement D. Create new restore configuration Would create a new VM instance Takes longer than replacing existing Requires additional steps to switch over to the new VM Doesn't minimize downtime as effectively as "Replace existing" The "Replace existing" option is the most efficient approach because: It's within the backup retention period (14 days) Directly restores to the existing VM location Minimizes downtime as required Provides the most straightforward path to recovery

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table. Name Type Description VNET1 Virtual network Azure region: US East Contains the following subnets: * Subnet1: 172.16.1.0/24 * Subnet2: 172.16.2.0/24 * Subnet3: 172.16.3.0/24 VNET2 Virtual network Azure region: West US Contains the following subnets: * DemoSubnet1: 172.16.1.0/24 * RecoverySubnetA: 172.16.5.0/24 * RecoverySubnetB: 172.16.3.0/24 * TestSubnet1:172.16.2.0/24 VM1 Virtual machine Connected to Subnet2 You configure Azure Site Recovery to replicate VM1 between the US East and West US regions. You perform a test failover of VM1 and specify VNET2 as the target virtual network. When the test version of VM1 is created, to which subnet will the virtual machine be connected? A. TestSubnet1 B. DemoSubnet1 C. RecoverySubnetA D. RecoverySubnetB

The correct answer is A: TestSubnet1 Let's analyze why this is correct: Key Information: VM1 is currently in VNET1's Subnet2 (172.16.2.0/24) VNET2 is the target network for failover Azure Site Recovery tries to match the source subnet with a compatible subnet in the target network Why TestSubnet1 is correct: VM1 is currently in Subnet2 (172.16.2.0/24) In VNET2, TestSubnet1 has the same IP address range (172.16.2.0/24) Azure Site Recovery will automatically map to the subnet with matching IP address range TestSubnet1 matches the source subnet's IP address space exactly Why other options are incorrect: B. DemoSubnet1 (172.16.1.0/24) Wrong IP range (matches Subnet1, not Subnet2) Not the same as source VM's subnet C. RecoverySubnetA (172.16.5.0/24) Completely different IP range No correlation with source subnet D. RecoverySubnetB (172.16.3.0/24) Wrong IP range (matches Subnet3, not Subnet2) Not the same as source VM's subnet The subnet mapping in Azure Site Recovery works based on these principles: It looks for a subnet in the target network with the same IP address range as the source subnet When found, it automatically maps the VM to that matching subnet In this case, TestSubnet1 (172.16.2.0/24) matches exactly with the source Subnet2 (172.16.2.0/24) Therefore, when the test failover occurs, VM1 will be connected to TestSubnet1 in VNET2
