Your company intends to subscribe to an Azure support plan.
The support plan must allow for new support requests to be opened.
Which of the following are support plans that will allow this? Answer by dragging the correct option from the list to the answer area.
Select and Place:
Explanation
Basic, Developer, Standard and Professional Direct are the plans you can subscribe to, and all of them let you open new support requests in the Azure portal. Basic (included with every subscription) allows requests for billing and subscription management, such as quota increases, but not technical support; Developer, Standard and Professional Direct add technical support requests with progressively faster response times. Premier is not an answer because it has been retired and replaced by Microsoft Unified support, so it can no longer be subscribed to as an Azure support plan.
Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription.
You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency.
You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option.
You have the following data storage requirements:
✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?
A.Geo-redundant storage
B.Read-only geo-redundant storageCorrect
C.Zone-redundant storage
D.Locally redundant storage
Explanation
Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS, listed here as read-only geo-redundant storage) copies data three times within the primary region and asynchronously to a secondary region hundreds of miles away, so data is stored on multiple nodes in separate geographic locations, and it also allows read access to the secondary region. Geo-redundant storage (GRS) replicates to the secondary region but does not allow reads from it unless a failover occurs. Zone-redundant and locally redundant storage keep data within a single region.
Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
Your company's Azure subscription includes a Basic support plan.
They would like to request an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft. This is, however, not supported by the existing plan.
You want to make sure that the company subscribes to a support plan that allows this functionality, while keeping expenses to a minimum.
Solution: You recommend that the company subscribes to the Professional Direct support plan.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The Professional Direct support plan does not include a formal design assessment of an Azure environment; it provides architectural guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers but no formal assessment. To get a design assessment from Microsoft, the company would need the Premier support plan (since replaced by Microsoft Unified), so recommending Professional Direct does not meet the goal.

You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company.
You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution.
Solution: You should make use of Software as a Service (SaaS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. Deploying Azure virtual machines is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Azure provides the compute, storage and networking, and you manage the virtual machines, their operating systems and the software on them. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers complete, ready-to-use applications over the internet, so you never deploy or manage virtual machines with it.

You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company.
You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution.
Solution: You should make use of Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. Deploying Azure virtual machines is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Azure provides the compute, storage, and networking, and you manage the operating system and everything on it. Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a managed environment for building, testing, and running applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure, so it is not the model used for virtual machines.

You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution.
Solution: You should make use of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.YesCorrect
B.No
Explanation
The solution meets the goal because deploying Azure virtual machines falls under Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). IaaS allows users to manage their own operating systems, storage, and applications on cloud-provisioned infrastructure, which aligns with the requirement of deploying virtual machines.
Your developers have created 10 web applications that must be host on Azure.
You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web apps. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:
✑ The web apps will use custom domains.
✑ The web apps each require 10 GB of storage.
✑ The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.
✑ Load balancing between instances must be included.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
Which web tier plan should you use?
A.StandardCorrect
B.Basic
C.Free
D.Shared
Explanation
The correct answer is A. Standard is the cheapest tier that meets every requirement. Free and Shared run apps on shared compute, offer only 1 GB of storage and do not scale out, and Free does not support custom domains. Basic runs on dedicated compute with custom domains and built-in load balancing, but it scales to only 3 instances and has 10 GB of storage for the whole plan, so it cannot give 10 apps their own dedicated instances. Standard scales to 10 dedicated instances, includes 50 GB of storage, supports custom domains and load balancing, and costs less than Premium.

You are planning to migrate a company to Azure. Each of the company's numerous divisions will have an administrator in place to manage the Azure resources used by their respective division.
You want to make sure that the Azure deployment you employ allows for Azure to be segmented for the divisions, while keeping administrative effort to a minimum.
Solution: You plan to make use of several Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) directories.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. Creating several Azure Active Directory (Azure AD, now Microsoft Entra ID) directories means managing separate identity tenants, which increases administrative effort. A lower-effort approach is a single tenant that segments resources for each division with management groups, subscriptions or resource groups, and gives each division administrator access through Azure RBAC.
Your developers have created a portal web app for users in the Miami branch office. The web app will be publicly accessible and used by the Miami users to retrieve customer and product information. The web app is currently running in an on-premises test environment.
You plan to host the web app on Azure.
You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web app. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:
✑ The website will use the miami.weyland.com URL.
✑ The website will be deployed to two instances.
✑ SSL support must be included.
✑ The website requires 12 GB of storage.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
Which web tier plan should you use?
A.StandardCorrect
B.Basic
C.Free
D.Shared
Explanation
The Standard App Service plan is the cheapest tier that meets every requirement: it supports custom domains (miami.weyland.com), SSL/TLS bindings, multiple instances, and includes 50 GB of storage. The Basic tier supports custom domains, SSL and up to three instances, but includes only 10 GB of storage, which is less than the required 12 GB. The Free and Shared tiers do not support SSL for custom domains or dedicated instances.

Your company is planning to migrate all their virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. The virtual machines are currently hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You are required make sure that the intended Azure solution uses the correct expenditure model.
Solution: You should recommend the use of the elastic expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. Cloud costs are classified as either capital expenditure (CapEx), an up-front spend on physical infrastructure, or operational expenditure (OpEx), paying for services as they are consumed. An Azure pay-as-you-go subscription is an operational expenditure model. 'Elastic' describes the ability to scale resources, not an expenditure model, so recommending an elastic expenditure model is incorrect.

Solution: You should recommend the use of the scalable expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. 'Scalable expenditure model' is not a cloud expenditure model. The two models are capital expenditure (CapEx), which is upfront spending on physical infrastructure, and operational expenditure (OpEx), which is ongoing, usage-based spending. Moving the virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription uses the OpEx model.

Solution: You should recommend the use of the operational expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.YesCorrect
B.No
Explanation
The solution meets the goal. An Azure pay-as-you-go subscription follows the operational expenditure (OpEx) model: you pay for resources as you use them, and the cost is an ongoing operating expense rather than an upfront capital expenditure (CapEx) on hardware.

You are required to deploy an Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution in Azure.
You want to make sure that you are able to build, test, and deploy predictive analytics for the solution.
Solution: You should make use of Azure Cosmos DB.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service for storing and retrieving data with low latency. It does not provide tools to build, train, test or deploy predictive analytics models. For that, use Azure Machine Learning (or prebuilt Azure AI services), so the solution does not meet the goal.
Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
Your company's Active Directory forest includes thousands of user accounts.
You have been informed that all network resources will be migrated to Azure. Thereafter, the on-premises data center will be retired.
You are required to employ a strategy that reduces the effect on users, once the planned migration has been completed.
Solution: You plan to sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.YesCorrect
B.No
Explanation
Yes. Synchronizing the on-premises Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID), for example with Microsoft Entra Connect, lets users keep the same identities and sign-in names when they use the resources that move to Azure. After the on-premises data center is retired, users continue to work with accounts they already know, which keeps the impact of the migration on them low.

Solution: You should make use of Azure Machine Learning Studio.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.YesCorrect
B.No
Explanation
Azure Machine Learning studio lets you build, train, test and deploy predictive analytics models, using a visual designer, automated ML or code. It therefore meets the requirement to build, test and deploy predictive analytics for an AI solution in Azure.

Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation.
The resources required by each business unit are identical.
You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically.
Solution: You recommend that the Azure API Management service be included in the strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The Azure API Management service is designed for managing APIs rather than creating and automating the deployment of various Azure resources. For automatically deploying identical Azure resources across different business units, tools like Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are more appropriate as they can automate resource creation.

Solution: You recommend that management groups be included in the strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
Management groups organize subscriptions and apply governance (Azure Policy and access control) across them, but they do not create resources. To create identical sets of Azure resources automatically for each business unit, use Azure Resource Manager templates, which deploy infrastructure as code consistently and repeatably.

Does the solution meet the goal?
A.YesCorrect
B.No
Explanation
Yes. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are JSON files that declare the resources to deploy and their configuration. Because every business unit needs the same set of resources, one template can be deployed repeatedly to create identical environments automatically and consistently, with no manual steps.

You are tasked with deploying a critical LOB application, which will be installed on a virtual machine, to Azure.
You are informed that the application deployment strategy should allow for a guaranteed availability of 99.99 percent. You need to make sure that the strategy requires as little virtual machines and availability zones as possible.
Solution: You include two virtual machines and one availability zone in your strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.Yes
B.NoCorrect
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. The Azure virtual machine SLA guarantees 99.99% connectivity only when two or more VM instances are deployed across two or more Availability Zones in the same region. Placing both virtual machines in a single Availability Zone does not qualify for that SLA, because one zone outage would take both VMs down. The minimum that meets 99.99% is two virtual machines spread across two Availability Zones.
