2. Question 182 · 232 in bank

   HOTSPOT - You are designing a software as a service (SaaS) application that will enable Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users to create and publish online surveys. The SaaS application will have a front-end web app and a back-end web API. The web app will rely on the web API to handle updates to customer surveys. You need to design an authorization flow for the SaaS application. The solution must meet the following requirements: ✑ To access the back-end web API, the web app must authenticate by using OAuth 2 bearer tokens. ✑ The web app must authenticate by using the identities of individual users. What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: Azure AD - The Azure AD server issues tokens (access & refresh token). See step 5 below in graphic. OAuth 2.0 authentication with Azure Active Directory. The OAuth 2.0 is the industry protocol for authorization. It allows a user to grant limited access to its protected resources. Designed to work specifically with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), OAuth separates the role of the client from the resource owner. The client requests access to the resources controlled by the resource owner and hosted by the resource server (here the Azure AD server). The resource server issues access tokens with the approval of the resource owner. The client uses the access tokens to access the protected resources hosted by the resource server. Box 2: A web API - Delegated access is used. The bearer token sent to the web API contains the user identity. The web API makes authorization decisions based on the user identity.

3. Question 183 · 232 in bank

   HOTSPOT - You plan to create an Azure environment that will contain a root management group and 10 child management groups. Each child management group will contain five Azure subscriptions. You plan to have between 10 and 30 resource groups in each subscription. You need to design an Azure governance solution. The solution must meet the following requirements: ✑ Use Azure Blueprints to control governance across all the subscriptions and resource groups. ✑ Ensure that Blueprints-based configurations are consistent across all the subscriptions and resource groups. ✑ Minimize the number of blueprint definitions and assignments. What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:

   Show the answer figure

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1. The root management group When creating a blueprint definition, you'll define where the blueprint is saved. Blueprints can be saved to a management group or subscription that you have Contributor access to. If the location is a management group, the blueprint is available to assign to any child subscription of that management group. The root management group is built into the hierarchy to have all management groups and subscriptions fold up to it. This root management group allows for global policies and Azure role assignments to be applied at the directory level. Box 2. The root management group Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/management-groups/overview https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/blueprints/overview

4. Question 184 · 232 in bank

   DRAG DROP - You are designing a virtual machine that will run Microsoft SQL Server and contain two data disks. The first data disk will store log files, and the second data disk will store data. Both disks are P40 managed disks. You need to recommend a host caching method for each disk. The method must provide the best overall performance for the virtual machine while preserving the integrity of the SQL data and logs. Which host caching method should you recommend for each disk? To answer, drag the appropriate methods to the correct disks. Each method may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Select and Place:

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: None - No data disk caching for the Log files. Box 2: ReadOnly - Guidelines to optimize performance for your SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) include: Set host caching to read-only for data file disks. Set host caching to none for log file disks. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/performance-guidelines-best-practices-storage

6. Question 186 · 232 in bank

   You have an on-premises network and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network has several branch offices. A branch office in Toronto contains a virtual machine named VM1 that is configured as a file server. Users access the shared files on VM1 from all the offices. You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the users can access the shared files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible. What should you include in the recommendation?

   • Aa Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup
   • BAzure blob containers and Azure File Sync
   • Ca Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup
   • Dan Azure file share and Azure File Sync

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   They say "quickly as possible" so an Azure Fileshare with Azure FileSync running looks to be the quickest option to get things accessible again.

   Select 2

   You have an on-premises application that consumes data from multiple databases. The application code references database tables by using a combination of the server, database, and table name. You need to migrate the application data to Azure. To which two services can you migrate the application data to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   • ASQL Server Stretch Database
   • BSQL Server on an Azure virtual machine
   • CAzure SQL Database
   • DAzure SQL Managed Instance

   Show answer

   Answer: BD

   Explanation

   The correct answers are B. SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine and D. Azure SQL Managed Instance. B. SQL Server on an Azure virtual machine allows you to migrate your on-premises SQL Server databases to Azure with very minimal changes to your application. The application code can continue to reference the database tables in the same manner as it did on-premises. D. Azure SQL Managed Instance is a fully-managed SQL Server Database Engine hosted in Azure cloud. It provides near 100% compatibility with the on-premises SQL Server and supports the same server, database, and table naming conventions, which suits the requirement of the application.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: an Azure SQL database - Incorrect answers: User imitated backups are not supported by Azure SQL Managed instance. Box 2: Active geo-replication - Active geo-replication required to multiple automatically replicated instances across Azure regions. You can manage Azure SQL Database security for geo-restore. SQL database cannot be used for geo-restore. Incorrect: Not SQL Server: Active geo-replication requires Azure SQL database.

10. Question 190 · 232 in bank

    You have an on-premises line-of-business (LOB) application that uses a Microsoft SQL Server instance as the backend. You plan to migrate the on-premises SQL Server instance to Azure virtual machines. You need to recommend a highly available SQL Server deployment that meets the following requirements: ✑ Minimizes costs Minimizes failover time if a single server fails

    

    What should you include in the recommendation?

    • Aan Always On availability group that has premium storage disks and a virtual network name (VNN)
    • Ban Always On Failover Cluster Instance that has a virtual network name (VNN) and a standard file share
    • Can Always On availability group that has premium storage disks and a distributed network name (DNN)
    • Dan Always On Failover Cluster Instance that has a virtual network name (VNN) and a premium file share

    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Explanation

    C. an Always On availability group that has premium storage disks and a distributed network name (DNN). The Always On Availability Group with a Distributed Network Name (DNN) would be the better choice due to the faster failover time, which aligns with the requirement of minimizing failover time if a single server fails. The DNN listener in this case doesn't require an Azure Load Balancer to reroute traffic, resulting in quicker failovers compared to the VNN listener. This is a great choice when high availability and minimal failover time are prioritized.
