1. Question 231 · 462 in bank

   Your company plans to request an architectural review of an Azure environment from Microsoft. The company currently has a Basic support plan. You need to recommend a new support plan for the company. The solution must minimize costs. Which support plan should you recommend?

   • APremier
   • BDeveloper
   • CProfessional Direct
   • DStandard

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Only with Premier it's possible to "request an architectural review of an Azure environment from Microsoft." and this is what's being asked. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/ Premier support plan --> Architecture Support "Customer specific architectural support such as design reviews, performance tuning, configuration and implementation assistance delivered by Microsoft Azure technical specialists." Professional Direct support plan it's not enough since it only provides "Architectural guidance based on best practice delivered by ProDirect Delivery Manager" Developer and Standard are not valid options.

   Explanation

   A stopped (deallocated) VM is offline and not mounted on an Azure host server. Starting a VM mounts the VM on a host server before the VM starts. As soon as the VM is mounted, it becomes chargeable. For this reason, you are unable to start a VM after a trial has expired. Incorrect Answers: ✑ You are not charged for Azure Active Directory user accounts so you can continue to create accounts. ✑ You can access data that is already stored in Azure. ✑ You can access the Azure Portal. You can also reactivate and upgrade the expired subscription in the portal.

8. Question 238 · 462 in bank

   Your company has 10 departments. The company plans to implement an Azure environment. You need to ensure that each department can use a different payment option for the Azure services it consumes. What should you create for each department?

   • Aa reservation
   • Ba subscription
   • Ca resource group
   • Da container instance

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   There are different payment options in Azure including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts. Your Azure costs are 'per subscription'. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. Therefore, to use different payment options per department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can create multiple subscriptions in a single Azure Active Directory tenant. Incorrect Answers: A: A reservation is where you commit to a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period. Reservations do not provide a way to use different payment options per department. C: A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. You can view the total cost of all the resources in a resource group. However, resource groups do not provide a way to use different payment options per department. D: A container instance is an Azure resource used to run an application. Container instances do not provide a way to use different payment options per department. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-subscription
