   Explanation

   Microsoft has a minimum WTF?!? threshold required per user per exam (min_WTF) If they don't add crap like this, they don't hit the quota, it generates a crapload of alerts and a dashboard in Redmond turns bright red. :)) Yes .... I've been studying too long and just seeing if anyone is paying attention.

2. Question 212 · 232 in bank

   You are developing an app that will use Azure Functions to process Azure Event Hubs events. Request processing is estimated to take between five and 20 minutes. You need to recommend a hosting solution that meets the following requirements: • Supports estimates of request processing runtimes • Supports event-driven autoscaling for the app Which hosting plan should you recommend?

   • ADedicated
   • BConsumption
   • CApp Service
   • DPremium

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   D. Premium The Premium plan is the best fit for this scenario. It supports both longer execution times and event-driven scaling, which are the requirements specified in the question. Azure Functions on a Premium plan can run for a longer period, up to 60 minutes (or indefinitely if the host.json "functionTimeout" setting is null), making it suitable for the estimated request processing times of five to 20 minutes. The Premium plan also supports event-driven autoscaling. The Consumption plan supports event-driven autoscaling but only allows functions to run for up to 10 minutes, so it wouldn't support the estimated request processing times of five to 20 minutes. The Dedicated and App Service plans can run for a longer period, but they do not support event-driven autoscaling. The Dedicated plan is also the most costly option and should be used when you need the most control over the function app environment.

   HOTSPOT - You company has offices in New York City, Sydney, Paris, and Johannesburg. The company has an Azure subscription. You plan to deploy a new Azure networking solution that meets the following requirements: • Connects to ExpressRoute circuits in the Azure regions of East US, Southeast Asia, North Europe, and South Africa • Minimizes latency by supporting connection in three regions • Supports Site-to-site VPN connections • Minimizes costs You need to identify the minimum number of Azure Virtual WAN hubs that you must deploy, and which virtual WAN SKU to use. What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   

   This is an interactive task on the real exam — a drag-and-drop, hotspot or ordering question. There is nothing to select here, so the answer is shown below for reference.

   Show the answer figure

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Minimizes latency by supporting connection in three regions The requirement to “minimize latency by supporting connection in three regions” suggests that connections should be optimized across three regions. However, the solution also needs to connect to ExpressRoute circuits in four specific Azure regions: East US, Southeast Asia, North Europe, and South Africa. To meet all these requirements, a hub should be deployed in each of these four regions. This ensures that each region has a local connection point, reducing latency. Even though connections are optimized across three regions, the fourth hub is necessary to provide a local connection point in the fourth region. So, while three hubs might seem sufficient based on one requirement, considering all requirements makes it clear that four hubs are needed. This is a common scenario in network planning where various factors and requirements must be balanced.

   Select 2

   You have an Azure Functions microservice app named App1 that is hosted in the Consumption plan. App1 uses an Azure Queue Storage trigger. You plan to migrate App1 to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. You need to prepare the AKS cluster to support App1. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Use the same scaling mechanism as the current deployment. • Support kubenet and Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI) networking. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.

   • AConfigure the horizontal pod autoscaler.
   • BInstall Virtual Kubelet.
   • CConfigure the AKS cluster autoscaler.
   • DConfigure the virtual node add-on.
   • EInstall Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling (KEDA).

   Show answer

   Answer: AE

   Explanation

   AE is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/concepts-scale#horizontal-pod-autoscaler Kubernetes uses the horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA) to monitor the resource demand and automatically scale the number of replicas. By default, the horizontal pod autoscaler checks the Metrics API every 15 seconds for any required changes in replica count, but the Metrics API retrieves data from the Kubelet every 60 seconds. Effectively, the HPA is updated every 60 seconds. When changes are required, the number of replicas is increased or decreased accordingly. Horizontal pod autoscaler works with AKS clusters that have deployed the Metrics Server for Kubernetes 1.8+. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/keda-about Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA) is a single-purpose and lightweight component that strives to make application autoscaling simple and is a CNCF Incubation project. It applies event-driven autoscaling to scale your application to meet demand in a sustainable and cost-efficient manner with scale-to-zero.

5. Question 215 · 232 in bank

   You are designing a microservices architecture that will be hosted in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. Apps that will consume the microservices will be hosted on Azure virtual machines. The virtual machines and the AKS cluster will reside on the same virtual network. You need to design a solution to expose the microservices to the consumer apps. The solution must meet the following requirements: ✑ Ingress access to the microservices must be restricted to a single private IP address and protected by using mutual TLS authentication. ✑ The number of incoming microservice calls must be rate-limited. ✑ Costs must be minimized. What should you include in the solution?

   • AAzure App Gateway with Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
   • BAzure API Management Standard tier with a service endpoint
   • CAzure Front Door with Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
   • DAzure API Management Premium tier with virtual network connection

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   A: No rate limited B: Does not have Private Endpoint integration C: Does not make sense, and does not rate limited D: OK, rate limited + PE integration

   Explanation

   Box 1: Azure AD Identity Protection Only users that manage the production environment by using the Azure portal must connect from a hybrid Azure AD-joined device and authenticate by using Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Note: Policy configuration - 1. Navigate to the Azure portal. 2. Browse to Azure Active Directory > Security > Identity Protection > MFA registration policy. 3. Under Assignments 4. Users - Choose All users or Select individuals and groups if limiting your rollout. 5. Optionally you can choose to exclude users from the policy. 6. Enforce Policy - On 7. Save Box 2: Grant control in capolicy1 The litware.com tenant has a Conditional Access policy named Capolicy1. Capolicy1 requires that when users manage the Azure subscription for a production environment by using the Azure portal, they must connect from a hybrid Azure AD-joined device. Note: We need to configure the policy conditions for capolicy1 that prompt for MFA.

    You need to recommend a solution that meets the application development requirements. What should you include in the recommendation?

    • Athe Azure App Configuration service
    • Ban Azure Container Registry instance
    • Cdeployment slots
    • DContinuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) sources

    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Explanation

    C is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-best-practices#use-deployment-slots Whenever possible, use deployment slots when deploying a new production build. When using a Standard App Service Plan tier or better, you can deploy your app to a staging environment, validate your changes, and do smoke tests. When you are ready, you can swap your staging and production slots. The swap operation warms up the necessary worker instances to match your production scale, thus eliminating downtime.
