Question 1

When you download an ARM Template from the Portal, just before confirming a deployment, what is the one file that is not downloaded to your computer?

Answer 1

The parameters are not saved or downloaded.

So you either have to write down the values, or copy the file manually and save it somewhere. Refer to Microsoft Doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/quickstart-create-templates-use-the-portal

Question 2

Which Azure PaaS database solution supports Common Language Runtime (CLR) code?

Answer 2

SQL Managed Instance.

It allows existing SQL Server customers to lift and shift their on-premises applications to the cloud with minimal application and database changes. At the same time, SQL Managed Instance preserves all PaaS capabilities (automatic patching and version updates, automated backups, high availability) that drastically reduce management overhead and TCO.

Question 3

Your organization has one management group and two subscriptions underneath it. It was discovered that a resource was accidentally created on Subscription 1 that should belong to Subscription 2. You’d like to move the already incurred charges from Subscription 1 to Subscription 2, because that is the one that should be paying for it. Can Subscription 1 send a chargeback to Subscription 2 for those costs?

Answer 3

NO

You can create one billing report per subscription. If you have multiple departments and need to do a “chargeback” of cloud costs, one possible solution is to organize subscriptions by department or by project.

Question 4

When you initiate a storage account failover, how long would that typically take?

Answer 4

About an hour.

Customer-managed account failover enables you to fail your entire storage account over to the secondary region if the primary becomes unavailable for any reason. When you force a failover to the secondary region, clients can begin writing data to the secondary endpoint after the failover is complete. The failover typically takes about an hour.

Question 5

What Azure Functions library do you need to implement in order for Functions to be able to call other Functions?

Answer 5

Durable Functions.

Durable Functions is an extension of Azure Functions that lets you write stateful functions in a serverless compute environment. The extension lets you define stateful workflows by writing orchestrator functions and stateful entities by writing entity functions using the Azure Functions programming model. Behind the scenes, the extension manages state, checkpoints, and restarts for you, allowing you to focus on your business logic.

Question 6

How does the Business Critical tier achieve high availability for Azure SQL Database?

Answer 6

Both compute and storage are replicatred to a multi node cluster.

Premium and Business Critical service tiers leverage the Premium availability model, which integrates compute resources (sqlservr.exe process) and storage (locally attached SSD) on a single node. High availability is achieved by replicating both compute and storage to additional nodes creating a three to four-node cluster.

Question 7

What is the minimum Azure AD license required to implement Self-Service Password Reset?

Answer 7

Free

In order to implement SSPR for cloud users, a working Azure AD tenant with at least an Azure AD free or trial license enabled. In the Free tier, SSPR only works for cloud users in Azure AD. Password change is supported in the Free tier, but password reset is not. Refer to

Question 8

What storage redundancy level is the minimum required for Storage Account Failover?

Answer 8

GEO

Azure Storage supports account failover for geo-redundant storage accounts. With account failover, you can initiate the failover process for your storage account if the primary endpoint becomes unavailable. The failover updates the secondary endpoint to become the primary endpoint for your storage account. Once the failover is complete, clients can begin writing to the new primary endpoint.

Question 9

What is the Service Level Agreement for Azure SQL Managed Instance?

Answer 9

The goal of the high availability architecture in Azure SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance is to guarantee that your database is up and running minimum of 99.99% of time , without worrying about the impact of maintenance operations and outages. Refer to Microsoft Doc:
