Question 18Selectable Answer
You have an Azure subscription that contains two applications named App1 and App2. App1 is a sales processing application. When a transaction in App1 requires shipping, a message is added to an Azure Storage account queue, and then App2 listens to the queue for relevant transactions.
In the future, additional applications will be added that will process some of the shipping requests based on the specific details of the transactions.
You need to recommend a replacement for the storage account queue to ensure that each additional application will be able to read the relevant transactions.
What should you recommend?
Answer: Explanation:
A queue allows processing of a message by a single consumer. In contrast to queues, topics and subscriptions provide a one-to-many form of communication in a publish and subscribe pattern. It's useful for scaling to large numbers of recipients. Each published message is made available to each subscription registered with the topic. Publisher sends a message to a topic and one or more subscribers receive a copy of the message, depending on filter rules set on these subscriptions.

Box 1: Install a self-hosted integration runtime
The Integration Runtime is a customer-managed data integration infrastructure used by Azure Data Factory to provide data integration capabilities across different network environments.
Box 2: Create a pipeline
With ADF, existing data processing services can be composed into data pipelines that are highly available and managed in the cloud. These data pipelines can be scheduled to ingest, prepare, transform, analyze, and publish data, and ADF manages and orchestrates the complex data and processing dependencies

Question 21Selectable Answer
You plan provision a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster in Azure that will use a third-party scheduler.
You need to recommend a solution to provision and manage the HPC cluster node.
What should you include in the recommendation?
Answer: Explanation:
You can dynamically provision Azure HPC clusters with Azure CycleCloud.
Azure CycleCloud is the simplest way to manage HPC workloads.
Note: Azure CycleCloud is an enterprise-friendly tool for orchestrating and managing High Performance Computing (HPC) environments on Azure. With CycleCloud, users can provision infrastructure for HPC systems, deploy familiar HPC schedulers, and automatically scale the infrastructure to run jobs efficiently at any scale. Through CycleCloud, users can create different types of file systems and mount them to the compute cluster nodes to support HPC workloads.

Question 22Selectable Answer
You need to design a data storage solution that meets the following requirements:
• Support JSON and CSV files.
• Provide a hierarchical namespace.
• Supports Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) as the data access layer.
Which data storage solution should you recommend?

Question 23Written Answer
HOTSPOT
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that App1 can access the third-party credentials and access strings. The solution must meet the security requirements.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Graphical user interface, text, application, table
Description automatically generated
Scenario: Security Requirement
All secrets used by Azure services must be stored in Azure Key Vault.
Services that require credentials must have the credentials tied to the service instance. The credentials must NOT be shared between services.
Box 1: A service principal
A service principal is a type of security principal that identifies an application or service, which is to say, a piece of code rather than a user or group. A service principal's object ID is known as its client ID and acts like its username. The service principal's client secret acts like its password.
Note: Authentication with Key Vault works in conjunction with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which is responsible for authenticating the identity of any given security principal.
A security principal is an object that represents a user, group, service, or application that's requesting access to Azure resources. Azure assigns a unique object ID to every security principal.
Box 2: A role assignment
You can provide access to Key Vault keys, certificates, and secrets with an Azure role-based access control.
Question 24Selectable Answer
You have an Azure subscription. The subscription has a blob container that contains multiple blobs. Ten users in the finance department of your company plan to access the blobs during the month of April. You need to recommend a solution to enable access to the blobs during the month of April only.
Which security solution should you include in the recommendation?
Answer: Explanation:
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-sas-overview
This allows for limited-time fine grained access control to resources. So you can generate URL, specify duration (for month of April) and disseminate URL to 10 team members. On May 1, the SAS token is automatically invalidated, denying team members continued access.
Question 25Selectable Answer
You are designing a message application that will run on an on-premises Ubuntu virtual machine. The application will use Azure Storage queues.
You need to recommend a processing solution for the application to interact with the storage queues.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Create and delete queues daily.
✑ Be scheduled by using a CRON job.
✑ Upload messages every five minutes.
What should developers use to interact with the queues?
Your company has offices in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
You have an on-premises app named App1 that uses Azure Table storage. Each office hosts a local instance of App1.
You need to upgrade the storage for App1.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Enable simultaneous write operations in multiple Azure regions.
✑ Ensure that write latency is less than 10 ms.
✑ Support indexing on all columns.
✑ Minimize development effort.
Which data platform should you use?
Answer: Explanation:
Azure Cosmos DB Table API has
✑ Single-digit millisecond latency for reads and writes, backed with <10-ms latency reads and <15-ms latency writes at the 99th percentile, at any scale, anywhere in the world.
✑ Automatic and complete indexing on all properties, no index management.
✑ Turnkey global distribution from one to 30+ regions. Support for automatic and manual failovers at any time, anywhere in the world.

Answer:
Question 28Selectable Answer
You need to recommend a solution to generate a monthly report of all the new Azure Resource Manager resource deployment in your subscription.
What should you include in the recommendation?
Answer: Explanation:
Activity logs are kept for 90 days. You can query for any range of dates, as long as the starting date isn't more than 90 days in the past.
Through activity logs, you can determine:
✑ what operations were taken on the resources in your subscription
✑ who started the operation
✑ when the operation occurred
✑ the status of the operation
✑ the values of other properties that might help you research the operation

Question 30Selectable Answer
You have an app named App1 that uses two on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases named DB1 and DB2.
You plan to migrate DB1 and DB2 to Azure.
You need to recommend an Azure solution to host DB1 and DB2. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Support server-side transactions across DB1 and DB2.
• Minimize administrative effort to update the solution.
What should you recommend?
