   Explanation

   Box 1: A Traffic Manager profile To support load balancing across the regions we need a Traffic Manager. Box 2: Priority traffic routing - Priority traffic-routing method. Often an organization wants to provide reliability for their services. To do so, they deploy one or more backup services in case their primary goes down. The 'Priority' traffic-routing method allows Azure customers to easily implement this failover pattern.

   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. You plan to deploy multiple instances of an Azure web app across several Azure regions. You need to design an access solution for the app. The solution must meet the following replication requirements: ✑ Support rate limiting. ✑ Balance requests between all instances. ✑ Ensure that users can access the app in the event of a regional outage. Solution: You use Azure Traffic Manager to provide access to the app. Does this meet the goal?

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   To achieve rate limiting along with load balancing and high availability, you should use Azure Front Door with the Web Application Firewall (WAF). Azure Front Door is a global, scalable entry-point that uses the Microsoft global edge network to create fast, secure, and widely scalable web applications. It provides load balancing and failover across multiple regions. By enabling the WAF on Azure Front Door, you can configure custom rate limiting rules to protect your web app from excessive traffic and potential attacks. So, using Azure Front Door with WAF will meet the requirements of supporting rate limiting, balancing requests between instances, and ensuring app accessibility during regional outages.

Solution: You use Azure Application Gateway to provide access to the app. Does this meet the goal?

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   No, this solution does not meet the goal. Azure Application Gateway is a Layer 7 load balancer that provides features like SSL termination, cookie-based session affinity, and URL-based routing. However, it operates within a single region and cannot distribute traffic across multiple regions. To meet the requirements of supporting rate limiting, balancing requests between instances across multiple regions, and ensuring app accessibility during regional outages, you should use Azure Front Door with Web Application Firewall (WAF). Azure Front Door is a global load balancer that can distribute traffic optimally to services across multiple regions, ensuring high availability in the event of a regional outage. By enabling WAF, you can configure custom rate limiting rules to control incoming traffic to your web app.

   You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account. An application sometimes writes duplicate files to the storage account. You have a PowerShell script that identifies and deletes duplicate files in the storage account. Currently, the script is run manually after approval from the operations manager. You need to recommend a serverless solution that performs the following actions: ✑ Runs the script once an hour to identify whether duplicate files exist ✑ Sends an email notification to the operations manager requesting approval to delete the duplicate files ✑ Processes an email response from the operations manager specifying whether the deletion was approved ✑ Runs the script if the deletion was approved What should you include in the recommendation?

   • AAzure Logic Apps and Azure Event Grid
   • BAzure Logic Apps and Azure Functions
   • CAzure Pipelines and Azure Service Fabric
   • DAzure Functions and Azure Batch

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   B. Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions Azure Logic Apps is a serverless solution that enables you to create and run workflows that integrate with various services and systems. You can use Azure Logic Apps to create a workflow that runs the PowerShell script once an hour using a time-based trigger, sends an email notification to the operations manager for approval, and processes the email response. Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that allows you to run event-driven code without having to manage infrastructure explicitly. You can use Azure Functions to host the PowerShell script, which can be triggered by the Logic App when the operations manager approves the deletion. Combining Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions will provide the necessary components to meet the requirements of the scenario.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) An on-premises network gateway can exchange routes with an Azure virtual network gateway using the border gateway protocol (BGP). Using BGP with an Azure virtual network gateway is dependent on the type you selected when you created the gateway. If the type you selected were: ExpressRoute: You must use BGP to advertise on-premises routes to the Microsoft Edge router. You cannot create user-defined routes to force traffic to the ExpressRoute virtual network gateway if you deploy a virtual network gateway deployed as type: ExpressRoute. You can use user-defined routes for forcing traffic from the Express Route to, for example, a Network Virtual Appliance. Box 2: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Incorrect: Microsoft does not support HSRP or VRRP for high availability configurations.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: Premium page blobs - The maximum size for a page blob is 8 TiB. Incorrect: Not Premium file shares: Max file size for Standard and Premium file shares are 4 TB. Box 2: Geo-redundant storage (GRS) GRS provides additional redundancy for data storage compared to LRS or ZRS. Box 3: A private endpoint - Azure Private Link allows you to securely link Azure PaaS services to your virtual network using private endpoints. For many services, you just set up an endpoint per resource. This means you can connect your on-premises or multi-cloud servers with Azure Arc and send all traffic over an Azure ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN connection instead of using public networks.
