Question 6Selectable Answer
You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account.
An application sometimes writes duplicate files to the storage account.
You have a PowerShell script that identifies and deletes duplicate files in the storage account. Currently, the script is run manually after approval from the operations manager.
You need to recommend a serverless solution that performs the following actions:
✑ Runs the script once an hour to identify whether duplicate files exist
✑ Sends an email notification to the operations manager requesting approval to delete the duplicate files
✑ Processes an email response from the operations manager specifying whether the deletion was approved
✑ Runs the script if the deletion was approved
What should you include in the recommendation?
Answer: Explanation:
You can schedule a powershell script with Azure Logic Apps.
When you want to run code that performs a specific job in your logic apps, you can create your own function by using Azure Functions. This service helps you create Node.js, C#, and F# functions so you don't have to build a complete app or infrastructure to run code. You can also call logic apps from inside Azure functions. Azure Functions provides serverless computing in the cloud and is useful for performing tasks such as these examples:
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-azure-functions
Question 7Selectable Answer

The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Provide access to the full .NET framework.
• Provide redundancy if an Azure region fails.
• Grant administrators access to the operating system to install custom application dependencies.
Solution: You deploy a web app in an Isolated App Service plan.
Does this meet the goal?

Your company plans to deploy various Azure App Service instances that will use Azure SQL databases. The App Service instances will be deployed at the same time as the Azure SQL databases.
The company has a regulatory requirement to deploy the App Service instances only to specific Azure regions. The resources for the App Service instances must reside in the same region.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the regulatory requirement.
Solution: You recommend using the Regulatory compliance dashboard in Azure Security Center.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer: Explanation:
The Regulatory compliance dashboard in Azure Security Center is not used for regional compliance.
Note: Instead Azure Resource Policy Definitions can be used which can be applied to a specific Resource Group with the App Service instances.
Note 2: In the Azure Security Center regulatory compliance blade, you can get an overview of key portions of your compliance posture with respect to a set of supported standards. Currently supported standards are Azure CIS, PCI DSS 3.2, ISO 27001, and SOC TSP.

Question 11Selectable Answer
You have an Azure subscription.
You need to deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) solution that will use Windows Server 2019 nodes.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
Minimize the time it takes to provision compute resources during scale-out operations.
Support autoscaling of Windows Server containers.
Which scaling option should you recommend?
Answer: Explanation:
Azure Container Instances (ACI) lets you quickly deploy container instances without additional infrastructure overhead. When you connect with AKS, ACI becomes a secured, logical extension of your AKS cluster. The virtual nodes component, which is based on Virtual Kubelet, is installed in your AKS cluster that presents ACI as a virtual Kubernetes node. Kubernetes can then schedule pods that run as ACI instances through virtual nodes, not as pods on VM nodes directly in your AKS cluster.
Your application requires no modification to use virtual nodes. Deployments can scale across AKS and ACI and with no delay as cluster autoscaler deploys new nodes in your AKS cluster.

Description automatically generated
Note: AKS clusters can scale in one of two ways:
✑ The cluster autoscaler watches for pods that can't be scheduled on nodes because of resource constraints. The cluster then automatically increases the number of nodes.
✑ The horizontal pod autoscaler uses the Metrics Server in a Kubernetes cluster to monitor the resource demand of pods. If an application needs more resources, the number of pods is automatically increased to meet the demand.
