1. Question 131 · 232 in bank

   You have a .NET web service named Service1 that performs the following tasks: ✑ Reads and writes temporary files to the local file system. ✑ Writes to the Application event log. You need to recommend a solution to host Service1 in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements: ✑ Minimize maintenance overhead. ✑ Minimize costs. What should you include in the recommendation?

   • Aan Azure App Service web app
   • Ban Azure virtual machine scale set
   • Can App Service Environment (ASE)
   • Dan Azure Functions app

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   A. an Azure App Service web app Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps. By hosting Service1 as an Azure App Service web app, you can minimize maintenance overhead, as the platform takes care of the underlying infrastructure, patching, and scaling. Azure App Service also offers a cost-effective solution that can be scaled up or out as needed to meet the demands of your application. While Azure Functions, virtual machine scale sets, and App Service Environments can also host web services, they may not provide the same balance of minimal maintenance overhead and cost-effectiveness as Azure App Service web apps do in this scenario.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   GIVEN SOLUTION IS CORRECT according to GPT-4 Number of Virtual networks: ✔ 2 Virtual machine size ✔ B-Series Explanation: Number of Virtual networks: You need at least one virtual network per Azure region for the local resources, hence since you have two Azure regions, you'll need at least 2 virtual networks. Virtual machine size: The B-Series VM size is the best choice here because of the ability to bank CPU credits during periods of low utilization. The B-series are burstable VMs that accumulate CPU credits during idle times and then consume these credits during periods of high CPU usage. This matches well with your requirement to minimize costs by accumulating CPU credits during periods of low utilization. Other series like A-Series, D-Series, and M-Series do not have this functionality.

5. Question 135 · 232 in bank

   You have an on-premises Microsoft SQL server named SQL1 that hosts 50 databases. You plan to migrate SQL1 to Azure SQL Managed Instance. You need to perform an offline migration of SQL1. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you include in the solution?

   • AAzure Migrate
   • BAzure Database Migration Service
   • CSQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA)
   • DData Migration Assistant (DMA)

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   The best solution for this scenario is: B. Azure Database Migration Service Azure Database Migration Service is a tool that helps you simplify, guide, and automate your database migration to Azure. Specifically for SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance migrations, it provides an option for offline (one-time) migrations which is suitable for your scenario. The Data Migration Assistant (DMA) tool can be used beforehand to assess your SQL Server databases for any feature parity and compatibility issues that could impact the database functionality in Azure SQL Managed Instance. Azure Migrate is a service that helps you assess and migrate applications, infrastructure, and data, but it doesn't specifically cater to SQL Server migrations. SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is more suited for migrations to Azure SQL Database and does not support Azure SQL Managed Instance.

7. Question 137 · 232 in bank

   Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. Your company plans to deploy various Azure App Service instances that will use Azure SQL databases. The App Service instances will be deployed at the same time as the Azure SQL databases. The company has a regulatory requirement to deploy the App Service instances only to specific Azure regions. The resources for the App Service instances must reside in the same region. You need to recommend a solution to meet the regulatory requirement. Solution: You recommend using an Azure Policy initiative to enforce the location of resource groups. Does this meet the goal?

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   It seems like a trick question: "You recommend using an Azure Policy initiative to enforce the location of resource groups". You need to enforce the location of the App Service instances, and not of resource groups. The right answer was in the question #57: "You recommend using an Azure Policy initiative to enforce the location".

8. Question 138 · 232 in bank

   You have the Azure resources shown in the following table.

   

   You need to deploy a new Azure Firewall policy that will contain mandatory rules for all Azure Firewall deployments. The new policy will be configured as a parent policy for the existing policies. What is the minimum number of additional Azure Firewall policies you should create?

   • A0
   • B1
   • C2
   • D3

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Parent policy must be in the same region as child policy! You get this information when creating a Firewall Policy. Parent Policy drop down list only shows policies in the same region. Existing Firewall Policies are located in different regions. To link them to a new parent policy, each region must have a new parent policy => 3 new policies.

9. Question 139 · 232 in bank

   Your on-premises datacenter contains a server that runs Linux and hosts a Java app named App1. App1 has the following characteristics: • App1 is an interactive app that users access by using HTTPS connections. • The number of connections to App1 changes significantly throughout the day. • App1 runs multiple concurrent instances. • App1 requires major changes to run in a container. You plan to migrate App1 to Azure. You need to recommend a compute solution for App1. The solution must meet the following requirements: • The solution must run multiple instances of App1. • The number of instances must be managed automatically depending on the load. • Administrative effort must be minimized. What should you include in the recommendation?

   • AAzure Batch
   • BAzure App Service
   • CAzure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
   • DAzure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   The competition between App service and VMSS as AKS is out due to major change to do so App service is PaaS and VMSS is IaaS but administrative effort to be minimized, also you can run Multiple apps per instance by using App Service plan, also Web hosting is builtin, application composition is predominantly Apps and Containers VMSS => Azure VMs can automatically scale by using virtual machine scale sets. This capability isn't strictly a PaaS, but it's the type of management feature found in PaaS.There's a tradeoff between control and ease of management. IaaS gives the most control, flexibility, and portability, but you have to provision, configure, and manage the VMs and network components you create hence is very administrative intense. Also application composition is AGNOSTIC hence more complex for this scenario So based on the above App services is winner (B)

    Answer: See figure below

    Explanation

    You are correct that Private Endpoint does NOT require a dedicated subnet, but when you use Web Apps inside a VNet, then delegation (integration) comes into place. If the subnet of the Web App has a delegation (Microsoft.Web/serverFarms) nothing can be created in that subnet besides the "Microsoft.Web/serverFarms". So it is NOT possible to create Private Endpoint in a delegated subnet. So in this case you need a VNet. In that VNet you create a subnet for Web Apps with delegation. You need another subnet for the Private Endpoint to connect to the SQL database. Answer: 2 subnets (1x Private Endpoint; 1x Web Apps) A private DNS zone
