With Azure Stack, enterprises gain more flexibility, especially for mission-critical applications that have strict regulatory requirements.

QUESTION 4

  • Human error
  • Severe weather
  • Security breach
  • All of the above

 

Answer: Severe weather

  High-energy storms triggered a power spike that caused the Azure data center to overheat and shut down. To prevent similar problems in the future, Microsoft said it will reevaluate its disaster recovery and backup methods, specifically asynchronous replication and active georeplication for Azure SQL and Azure Storage.

QUESTION 5

QUESTION 6

Which Microsoft Azure cloud security tool can an enterprise use for key management?

  • Azure GuardDuty
  • Azure Lockdown
  • Azure Key Management
  • Azure Key Vault
    Answer: Azure Key Vault
    With Azure Key Vault, enterprises can create and manage encryption keys, as well as store and control access to items such as tokens, passwords and API keys. It also centrally stores application secrets, which increases user control over access and distribution.

QUESTION 7

Compared to rivals AWS and Google, Microsoft Azure cloud is the only provider that offers a service-level agreement (SLA) for its API management service.

  • True
  • False
    Answer:True
    The SLA for Microsoft Azure cloud guarantees that its API Management service instances, in its Basic, Standard and Premium tiers, will respond to requests at least 99.9% of the time. However, this does not apply to the Developer tier. If, for some reason, the availability drops below 99.9%, the enterprise will receive a service credit.

QUESTION 8

  • 4
  • 5
  • 8
    Answer: 4
 Azure Storage has four available storage tiers: Premium, Hot, Cool and Archive. Premium and Hot are both meant to store frequently accessed data, with the former offering higher performance. Cool stores data that is infrequently accessed and held for at least 30 days, and Archive has flexible latency requirements for rarely accessed data, which is stored for at least 180 days.

QUESTION 9

Which company did Microsoft acquire to supplement its cost management service?

  • RightScale
  • Cloudify
  • Cloudability
  • Cloudyn
Answer:Cloudyn
In September 2017, Microsoft acquired Cloudyn and baked it into its own Cost Management service to give customers increased visibility to optimize cloud usage and spend. Azure will maintain Cloudyn’s support for other environments, including AWS and Google Cloud Platform.

Azure Cognitive Services is part of Microsoft’s machine learning and AI portfolio. It is made up of APIs, software development kits and services that help developers build intelligent applications. Vision, Speech, Language, Search and Knowledge APIs enable cognitive features, such as facial recognition, speaker identification and language translation.

QUESTION 11

What of the following capabilities does the Azure Migrate service NOT provide?

  • Assess cloud readiness
  • Estimate monthly cloud costs
  • Recommend cloud VM sizes
  • Migrate VMs

 

 

Answer:Migrate VMs

Azure Migrate is an assessment service that helps enterprises determine if they are ready for cloud and if the move meets their budgetary requirements. It also visualizes on-premises VM dependencies and recommends VM sizes. While it does not actually migrate VMs, Azure Site Recovery and Azure Database Migration Service can help complete that task.
