   Explanation

   Box 1: Yes - Azure Service Health consists of three components: Azure Status, Azure Service Heath and Azure Resource Health. Azure service health provides a personalized view of the health of the Azure services and regions you're using. This is the best place to look for service impacting communications about outages, planned maintenance activities, and other health advisories because the authenticated Azure Service Health experience knows which services and resources you currently use. To view the health of all other services available in Azure, you would use the Azure Status component of Azure Service Health. Azure status informs you of service outages in Azure on the Azure Status page. The page is a global view of the health of all Azure services across all Azure regions. Box 2: Yes - The best way to use Service Health is to set up Service Health alerts to notify you via your preferred communication channels when service issues, planned maintenance, or other changes may affect the Azure services and regions you use. Box 3: No - You can use Resource Health to view the health of a virtual machine. However, you cannot use Resource Health to prevent a service failure affecting the virtual machine. Azure resource health provides information about the health of your individual cloud resources such as a specific virtual machine instance.

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   I can't believe there has been 101 replies to this comment section and not one clear answer. So let me provide it easily for you guys: The computer has PowerShell Core 6.0, but it doesn't have the Azure CLI installed. There is no mention of that in the question. You need Azure PowerShell module in addition to PowerShell to run Azure commands, such as New-AzVM. Therefore, the answer should be B, No.

   Box 1: Azure SQL Database - SQL Server is a relational database service. Azure SQL Database is a managed SQL Server Database in Azure. The SQL Server is managed by Microsoft; you just have access to the database. Box 2: Azure SQL Synapse Analytics Azure SQL Synapse Analytics (previously called Data Warehouse) is a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft. It is a large-scale, distributed, MPP (massively parallel processing) relational database technology in the same class of competitors as Amazon Redshift or Snowflake. Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an important component of the Modern Data Warehouse multi-platform architecture. Because Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an MPP system with a shared-nothing architecture across distributions, it is meant for large-scale analytical workloads which can take advantage of parallelism. Box 3: Azure Data Lake Analytics You can process big data jobs in seconds with Azure Data Lake Analytics. You can process petabytes of data for diverse workload categories such as querying, ETL, analytics, machine learning, machine translation, image processing and sentiment analysis by leveraging existing libraries written in .NET languages, R or Python. Box 4: Azure HDInsight. Apache Hadoop was the original open-source framework for distributed processing and analysis of big data sets on clusters. The Hadoop ecosystem includes related software and utilities, including Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Spark, Kafka, and many others. Azure HDInsight is a fully managed, full-spectrum, open-source analytics service in the cloud for enterprises. The Apache Hadoop cluster type in Azure HDInsight allows you to use HDFS, YARN resource management, and a simple MapReduce programming model to process and analyze batch data in parallel.

10. Question 80 · 462 in bank

    You have an on-premises application that sends email notifications automatically based on a rule. You plan to migrate the application to Azure. You need to recommend a serverless computing solution for the application. What should you include in the recommendation?

    • Aa web app
    • Ba server image in Azure Marketplace
    • Ca logic app
    • Dan API app

    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Explanation

    haha logic app is the only one I didn't know anything about, but seeing the 3 options I knew none of them are suitable for this. So I ended guessing this right :) B - it's a server, you need a serverless solution D - API, no! you need to migrate the whole app A - web app, no, NO because web requires a server. The web is nothing but a huge WAN composed of many, many LANs. C - Whereas logic apps at least tells no conflicting information and implies you can migrate the whole app to it. Also the word "logic" refers to the email app sending emails "based on one rule". So I imagine it is done automatically, or 'logically'. Hence they are requiring a ServerLESS solution!
