Question #2 Topic 1
Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft
Azure subscription.
You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency.
You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option.
You have the following data storage requirements:
✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?
 A. Geo-redundant storage
 B. Read-only geo-redundant storage
 C. Zone-redundant storage
 D. Locally redundant storage
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
RA-GRS allows you to have higher read availability for your storage account by providing
‫ג‬€read only‫ג‬€ access to the data replicated to the secondary location. Once you enable this
feature, the secondary location may be used to achieve higher availability in the event the
data is not available in the primary region. This is an
‫ג‬€opt-in‫ג‬€ feature which requires the storage account be geo-replicated.

Traditionally, IT expenses have been considered a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). Today, with
the move to the cloud and the pay-as-you-go model, organizations have the ability to stretch
their budgets and are shifting their IT CapEx costs to Operating Expenditures (OpEx) instead.
This flexibility, in accounting terms, is now an option due to the ‫ג‬€as a Service‫ג‬€ model of
purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources.
Box 2: No -
Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations.
Therefore, the monthly costs could be different.
Box 3: Yes -
When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you don‫ג‬€™t pay for the virtual machine.
However, you do still pay for the storage costs associated to the virtual machine.
The most common storage costs are for the disks attached to the virtual machines. There are
also other storage costs associated with a virtual machine such as storage for diagnostic data
and virtual machine backups.

Correct Answer:
When you are implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, you are responsible for
configuring the SaaS solution. Everything else is managed by the cloud provider.
SaaS requires the least amount of management. The cloud provider is responsible for
managing everything, and the end user just uses the software.
Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the
Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring and office tools
(such as Microsoft Office 365).
SaaS provides a complete software solution which you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis
from a cloud service provider. You rent the use of an app for your organization and your
users connect to it over the Internet, usually with a web browser. All of the underlying
infrastructure, middleware, app software and app data are located in the service provider‫ג‬€™s
data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and with the
appropriate service agreement, will ensure the availability and the security of the app and
your data as well.

You have an on-premises network that contains several servers.

You plan to migrate all the servers to Azure.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that some of the servers are available if a single
Azure data center goes offline for an extended period.
What should you include in the recommendation?
 A. fault tolerance
 B. elasticity
 C. scalability
 D. low latency
Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue to function in the event of a failure of
some of its components.
In this Question, you could have servers that are replicated across datacenters.
Availability zones expand the level of control you have to maintain the availability of the
applications and data on your VMs. Availability Zones are unique physical locations within
an Azure region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with
independent power, cooling, and networking. To ensure resiliency, there are a minimum of
three separate zones in all enabled regions. The physical separation of Availability Zones
within a region protects applications and data from datacenter failures.
With Availability Zones, Azure offers industry best 99.99% VM uptime SLA. By
architecting your solutions to use replicated VMs in zones, you can protect your applications
and data from the loss of a datacenter. If one zone is compromised, then replicated apps and
data are instantly available in another zone.

A private cloud is hosted in your datacenter. Therefore, you cannot close your datacenter if
you are using a private cloud.
A public cloud is hosted externally, for example, in Microsoft Azure. An organization that
hosts its infrastructure in a public cloud can close its data center.
Public cloud is the most common deployment model. In this case, you have no local
hardware to manage or keep up-to-date ‫ג‬€" everything runs on your cloud provider's
hardware.
Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud provider.
In a private cloud, you create a cloud environment in your own datacenter and provide self-
service access to compute resources to users in your organization.
This offers a simulation of a public cloud to your users, but you remain completely
responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the hardware and software services you
provide.

 A. dedicated hardware
 B. unsecured connections
 C. limited storage
 D. metered pricing
 E. self-service management
Correct Answer: DE 🗳️
With the public cloud, you get pay-as-you-go pricing ‫ג‬€" you pay only for what you use, no
CapEx costs.
With the public cloud, you have self-service management. You are responsible for the
deployment and configuration of the cloud resources such as virtual machines or web sites.
The underlying hardware that hosts the cloud resources is managed by the cloud provider.
Incorrect Answers:
A: You don‫ג‬€™t have dedicated hardware. The underlying hardware is shared so you could
have multiple customers using cloud resources hosted on the same physical hardware.
B: Connections to the public cloud are secure.
C: Storage is not limited. You can have as much storage as you like.

App1 has low usage during the first three weeks of each month and very high usage during
the last week of each month.
Which benefit of Azure Cloud Services supports cost management for this type of usage
pattern?
 A. high availability
 B. high latency
 C. elasticity
 D. load balancing
Elasticity in this case is the ability to provide additional compute resource when needed and
reduce the compute resource when not needed to reduce costs.
Autoscaling is an example of elasticity.
Elastic computing is the ability to quickly expand or decrease computer processing, memory
and storage resources to meet changing demands without worrying about capacity planning
and engineering for peak usage. Typically controlled by system monitoring tools, elastic
computing matches the amount of resources allocated to the amount of resources actually
needed without disrupting operations. With cloud elasticity, a company avoids paying for
unused capacity or idle resources and doesn‫ג‬€™t have to worry about investing in the
purchase or maintenance of additional resources and equipment.

Box 1:
Azure virtual machines are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Infrastructure as a Service is the most flexible category of cloud services. It aims to give you
complete control over the hardware that runs your application (IT infrastructure servers and
virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems). Instead of buying
hardware, with IaaS, you rent it.

Azure SQL databases are Platform as a Service (Paas).
Azure SQL Database is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) Database Engine that
handles most of the database management functions such as upgrading, patching, backups,
and monitoring without user involvement. Azure SQL Database is always running on the
latest stable version of SQL Server
Database Engine and patched OS with 99.99% availability. PaaS capabilities that are built-in

You have an on-premises network that contains 100 servers.

You need to recommend a solution that provides additional resources to your users. The
solution must minimize capital and operational expenditure costs.
 A. a complete migration to the public cloud

 B. an additional data center
 C. a private cloud
 D. a hybrid cloud
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
A hybrid cloud is a combination of a private cloud and a public cloud.
Capital expenditure is the spending of money up-front for infrastructure such as new servers.
With a hybrid cloud, you can continue to use the on-premises servers while adding new
servers in the public cloud (Azure for example). Adding new servers in
Azure minimizes the capital expenditure costs as you are not paying for new servers as you
would if you deployed new server on-premises.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A complete migration of 100 servers to the public cloud would involve a lot of operational
expenditure (the cost of migrating all the servers).
B: An additional data center would involve a lot of capital expenditure (the cost of the new
infrastructure).
C: A private cloud is hosted on on-premises servers to this would involve a lot of capital
expenditure (the cost of the new infrastructure to host the private cloud).

Correct Answer:
Box 1: No -
It is not true that a company must always migrate from a private cloud model to implement a
hybrid cloud. You could start with a public cloud and then combine that with an on-premise
infrastructure to implement a hybrid cloud.
Box 2: Yes -
A company can extend the capacity of its internal network by using the public cloud. This is
very common. When you need more capacity, rather than pay out for new on-premises
infrastructure, you can configure a cloud environment and connect your on-premises network
to the cloud environment by using a VPN.
Box 3: No -
It is not true that only guest users can access cloud resources. You can give anyone with an
account in Azure Active Directory access to the cloud resources.
There are many authentication scenarios but a common one is to replicate your on-premises
Active Directory accounts to Azure Active Directory and provide access to the Azure Active
Directory accounts. Another commonly used authentication method is ‫ג‬€˜Federation‫ג‬€™
where authentication for access to cloud resources is passed to another authentication
provider such as an on-premises Active Directory. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-

You plan to migrate several servers from an on-premises network to Azure.

What is an advantage of using a public cloud service for the servers over an on-premises

 A. The public cloud is owned by the public, NOT a private corporation

 B. The public cloud is a crowd-sourcing solution that provides corporations with the ability to
enhance the cloud
 C. All public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public
 D. The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of
the resources in the cloud
The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the
resources in the cloud. The hardware resources (servers, infrastructure etc.) are managed by
the cloud provider. Multiple companies create resources such as virtual machines and virtual
networks on the hardware resources.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The public cloud is not owned by the public. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the cloud is
owned by Microsoft.
B: The public cloud is a not crowd-sourcing solution. In the case of Microsoft Azure, the
cloud is owned by Microsoft.
C: It is not true that public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the
public. You pay for a cloud subscription and create accounts for your users to access your
cloud resources. No one can access your cloud resources until you create user accounts and

Fault tolerance is the ability of a service to remain available after a failure of one of the
components of the service. For example, a service running on multiple servers can withstand
the failure of one of the servers.
Box 2:
Disaster recovery is the recovery of a service after a failure. For example, restoring a virtual
machine from backup after a virtual machine failure.
Box 3:
Dynamic scalability is the ability for compute resources to be added to a service when the
service is under heavy load. For example, in a virtual machine scale set, additional instances
of the virtual machine are added when the existing virtual machines are under heavy load.
Box 4:
Latency is the time a service to respond to requests. For example, the time it takes for a web
page to be returned from a web server. Low latency means low response time which means a
quicker response.

It is not true that a company must always migrate from an internal network to implement a
hybrid cloud. You could start with a public cloud and then combine that with an on-premise
infrastructure to implement a hybrid cloud.
Box 2: Yes -
A company can extend the computing resources of its internal network by using the public
cloud. This is very common. When you need more resources, rather than pay out for new on-
premises infrastructure, you can configure a cloud environment and connect your on-
premises network to the cloud environment by using a VPN.
Box 3: No -
It is not true that only guest users can access cloud resources. You can give anyone with an
account in Azure Active Directory access to the cloud resources.
There are many authentication scenarios but a common one is to replicate your on-premises
Active Directory accounts to Azure Active Directory and provide access to the Azure Active
Directory accounts. Another commonly used authentication method is ‫ג‬€˜Federation‫ג‬€™

One of the major changes that you will face when you move from on-premises cloud to the
public cloud is the switch from capital expenditure (buying hardware) to operating
expenditure (paying for service as you use it).
Box 1: No -
With the pay-as-go model, you pay for services as you use them. This is Opex (Operational
Expenditure), not CapEx (Captial Expenditure). CapEx is where you pay for something
upfront. For example, buying a new physical server.
Box 2: No -
Paying for electricity for your own datacenter will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx.

presents a complete solution.
 A. multiple subscriptions
 B. multiple Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) directories
 C. multiple regions
 D. multiple resource groups

An Azure subscription is a container for Azure resources. It is also a boundary for
permissions to resources and for billing. You are charged monthly for all resources in a
subscription. A single Azure tenant (Azure Active Directory) can contain multiple Azure
subscriptions.
A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The
resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you
want to manage as a group.
To enable each department administrator to manage the Azure resources used by that
department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can then
assign each department administrator as an administrator for the subscription to enable them
to manage all resources in that subscription.

You plan to create an Azure virtual machine.
You need to identify which storage service must be used to store the unmanaged data disks of
the virtual machine.
What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate service in the answer area.
Hot Area:
Correct Answer:
Azure containers are the backbone of the virtual disks platform for Azure IaaS. Both Azure
OS and data disks are implemented as virtual disks where data is durably persisted in the
Azure Storage platform and then delivered to the virtual machines for maximum
performance. Azure Disks are persisted in Hyper-V VHD format and stored as a page blob in
Azure Storage.

Your company plans to move several servers to Azure.

The company‫ג‬€™s compliance policy states that a server named FinServer must be on a
separate network segment.
You are evaluating which Azure services can be used to meet the compliance policy
requirements.
Which Azure solution should you recommend?
 A. a resource group for FinServer and another resource group for all the other servers
 B. a virtual network for FinServer and another virtual network for all the other servers
 C. a VPN for FinServer and a virtual network gateway for each other server
 D. one resource group for all the servers and a resource lock for FinServer
Networks in Azure are known as virtual networks. A virtual network can have multiple IP
address spaces and multiple subnets. Azure automatically routes traffic between different
subnets within a virtual network.
The Question states that FinServer must be on a separate network segment. The only way
to separate FinServer from the other servers in networking terms is to place the server in a
different virtual network to the other servers.

You plan to map a network drive from several computers that run Windows 10 to Azure
Storage.
You need to create a storage solution in Azure for the planned mapped drive.
 A. an Azure SQL database

 B. a virtual machine data disk
 C. a File service in a storage account
 D. a Blob service in a storage account
Azure Files is Microsoft's easy-to-use cloud file system. Azure file shares can be seamlessly
used in Windows and Windows Server.
To use an Azure file share with Windows, you must either mount it, which means assigning it
a drive letter or mount point path, or access it via its UNC path.
Unlike other SMB shares you may have interacted with, such as those hosted on a Windows
Server, Linux Samba server, or NAS device, Azure file shares do not currently support
Kerberos authentication with your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (AAD)
identity, although this is a feature we are working on.
Instead, you must access your Azure file share with the storage account key for the storage
account containing your Azure file share. A storage account key is an administrator key for a
storage account, including administrator permissions to all files and folders within the file
share you're accessing, and for all file shares and other storage resources (blobs, queues,
tables, etc) contained within your storage account.

You need to start the planning process by exploring Azure.
What should you create first?
 A. a subscription
 B. a resource group
 C. a virtual network
 D. a management group
The first thing you create in Azure is a subscription. You can think of an Azure subscription
as an ‫ג‬€Ãzure account‫ג‬€™. You get billed per subscription.
A subscription is an agreement with Microsoft to use one or more Microsoft cloud platforms
or services, for which charges accrue based on either a per-user license fee or on cloud-based
resource consumption.
✑ Microsoft's Software as a Service (SaaS)-based cloud offerings (Office 365, Intune/EMS,
and Dynamics 365) charge per-user license fees.
✑ Microsoft's Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud
offerings (Azure) charge based on cloud resource consumption.
You can also use a trial subscription, but the subscription expires after a specific amount of
time or consumption charges. You can convert a trial subscription to a paid subscription.
Organizations can have multiple subscriptions for Microsoft's cloud offerings.

Hot Area:
Correct Answer:
Box 1: No -
Azure resources deployed to a single resource group can be located in different regions. The
resource group only contains metadata about the resources it contains.
When creating a resource group, you need to provide a location for that resource group. You
may be wondering, "Why does a resource group need a location?
And, if the resources can have different locations than the resource group, why does the
resource group location matter at all?" The resource group stores metadata about the
resources. When you specify a location for the resource group, you're specifying where that
metadata is stored. For compliance reasons, you may need to ensure that your data is stored in
a particular region.
Box 2: No -
Tags for Resources are not inherited by default from their Resource Group
Box 3: Yes -
A resource group can be used to scope access control for administrative actions. By default,
permissions set at the resource level are inherited by the resources in the resource group.

Azure storage offers different access tiers: hot, cool and archive.
The archive access tier has the lowest storage cost. But it has higher data retrieval costs
compared to the hot and cool tiers. Data in the archive tier can take several hours to retrieve.
While a blob is in archive storage, the blob data is offline and can't be read, overwritten, or
modified. To read or download a blob in archive, you must first rehydrate it to an online tier.
Example usage scenarios for the archive access tier include:
✑ Long-term backup, secondary backup, and archival datasets
✑ Original (raw) data that must be preserved, even after it has been processed into final
usable form.
✑ Compliance and archival data that needs to be stored for a long time and is hardly ever
accessed.

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

You plan to deploy a website to Azure. The website will be accessed by users worldwide and
will host large video files.
You need to recommend which Azure feature must be used to provide the best video
playback experience.
 A. an application gateway
 B. an Azure ExpressRoute circuit
 C. a content delivery network (CDN)
 D. an Azure Traffic Manager profile
The Question states that users are located worldwide and will be downloading large video
files. The video playback experience would be improved if they can download the video from
servers in the same region as the users. We can achieve this by using a content deliver
network.
A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that can efficiently
deliver web content to users. CDNs store cached content on edge servers in point-of-presence
(POP) locations that are close to end users, to minimize latency.
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers developers a global solution for rapidly
delivering high-bandwidth content to users by caching their content at strategically placed
physical nodes across the world. Azure CDN can also accelerate dynamic content, which
cannot be cached, by leveraging various network optimizations using CDN POPs. For
example, route optimization to bypass Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
The benefits of using Azure CDN to deliver web site assets include:
✑ Better performance and improved user experience for end users, especially when using
applications in which multiple round-trips are required to load content.
✑ Large scaling to better handle instantaneous high loads, such as the start of a product
launch event.
✑ Distribution of user requests and serving of content directly from edge servers so that less
traffic is sent to the origin server.

Question #: 177
Topic #: 1
HOTSPOT -
You plan to implement several security services for an Azure environment. You need to
identify which Azure services must be used to meet the following security requirements:
✑ Monitor threats by using sensors
✑ Enforce Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) based on a condition
Which Azure service should you identify for each requirement? To answer, select the
appropriate options in the answer area.
Hot Area:
Suggested Answer:
Box 1:
To monitor threats by using sensors, you would use Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).
Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a cloud-based security solution that leverages your on-
premises Active Directory signals to identify, detect, and investigate advanced threats, compromised
identities, and malicious insider actions directed at your organization.
Sensors are software packages you install on your servers to upload information to Azure ATP.
Box 2:
To enforce MFA based on a condition, you would use Azure Active Directory Identity Protection.
Azure AD Identity Protection helps you manage the roll-out of Azure Multi-Factor Authentication
(MFA) registration by configuring a Conditional Access policy to require MFA registration no matter
what modern authentication app you are signing in to.

Suggested Answer:
Composite SLAs involve multiple services supporting an application, each with differing levels of
availability. For example, consider an App Service web app that writes to Azure SQL Database. At the
time of this writing, these Azure services have the following SLAs:
✑ App Service web apps = 99.95%
✑ SQL Database = 99.99%
What is the maximum downtime you would expect for this application? If either service fails, the
whole application fails. The probability of each service failing is independent, so the composite SLA
for this application is 99.95%99.94% = 99.99% — ֳ . That's lower than the individual SLAs, which
isn't surprising because an application that relies on multiple services has more potential failure
points.

You have an Azure environment that contains 10 virtual networks and 100 virtual machines.
You need to limit the amount of inbound traffic to all the Azure virtual networks.
 A. one application security group (ASG)

 B. 10 virtual network gateways
 C. 10 Azure ExpressRoute circuits
 D. one Azure firewall
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
You can restrict traffic to multiple virtual networks with a single Azure firewall.
Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual
Network resources. It's a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and
unrestricted cloud scalability.
You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across
subscriptions and virtual networks. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual
network resources allowing outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network.

Your company plans to automate the deployment of servers to Azure.

Your manager is concerned that you may expose administrative credentials during the
deployment.
You need to recommend an Azure solution that encrypts the administrative credentials during
the deployment.
 A. Azure Key Vault

 B. Azure Information Protection
 C. Azure Security Center
 D. Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Azure Key Vault is a secure store for storage various types of sensitive information. In this
Question, we would store the administrative credentials in the Key Vault.
With this solution, there is no need to store the administrative credentials as plain text in the
deployment scripts.
All information stored in the Key Vault is encrypted.
Azure Key Vault can be used to Securely store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords,
certificates, API keys, and other secrets.
Secrets and keys are safeguarded by Azure, using industry-standard algorithms, key lengths, and
hardware security modules (HSMs). The HSMs used are
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 validated.
Access to a key vault requires proper authentication and authorization before a caller (user or
application) can get access. Authentication establishes the identity of the caller, while authorization
determines the operations that they are allowed to perform.

You can also attach a network security group to a network interface assigned to a virtual machine.
You can use multiple network security groups within a virtual network to restrict traffic between
resources such as virtual machines and subnets.
You can filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network with a
network security group. A network security group contains security rules that allow or deny inbound
network traffic to, or outbound network traffic from, several types of Azure resources.

Box 1: Yes -
A reservation is where you commit to pay for 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.
Box 2: No -
There are other factors that influence the cost of a virtual machine such as the virtual hard disks
attached to the virtual machine. You could have multiple virtual machines with the same ‫ג‬€˜size‫ג‬€™
(B2S in this case) but with different virtual hard disk configurations.
Box 3: Yes -
When a virtual machine is stopped (deallocated), the virtual machine is unloaded/dismounted from
the physical server in Azure. In this state, you are not charged for the virtual machine itself.
However, you are still charged for the storage costs of the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual
machine.
If the virtual machine is stopped but not deallocated (this happens if you shut down the virtual
machine from the operating system of the virtual machine), the virtual machine is still mounted on
the physical server in Azure and you are charged for the virtual machine itself as well as the storage
costs. To ensure that a virtual machine is ‫ג‬€˜stopped (deallocated)‫ג‬€™, you need to stop the virtual
machine in the Azure portal.

A network security group does not encrypt network traffic. It works in a similar way to a firewall in

Box 3: No -
The Question is rather vague as it would depend on the configuration of the host on the Internet.
Windows Server does come with a VPN client and it also supports other encryption methods such
IPSec encryption or SSL/TLS so it could encrypt the traffic if the Internet host was configured to
require or accept the encryption.
However, the VM could not encrypt the traffic to an Internet host that is not configured to require
the encryption.

Authorization to access Azure resources can be provided by other identity providers by using
federation. A commonly used example of this is to federate your on- premises Active Directory
environment with Azure AD and use this federation for authentication and authorization.
Box 2: Yes -
As described above, third-party cloud services and on-premises Active Directory can be used to
access Azure resources. This is known as ‫ג‬€˜federation‫ג‬€™.
Federation is a collection of domains that have established trust. The level of trust may vary, but
typically includes authentication and almost always includes authorization. A typical federation
might include a number of organizations that have established trust for shared access to a set of
resources.
Box 3: Yes -
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a centralized identity provider in the cloud. This is the primary
built-in authentication and authorization service to provide secure access to Azure resources.

You can configure a lock on a resource group to prevent the accidental deletion of the resource
group. The lock applies to everyone, including global administrators. If you want to delete the
resource group, the lock must be removed first.
As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent
other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. You can
set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-
only respectively.
✑ CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete
the resource.
ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource.
Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized
users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.

single VM.
The SLA for Virtual Machines states:
✑ For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed across two or more Availability
Zones in the same Azure region, we guarantee you will have
Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.99% of the time.
✑ For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set or
in the same Dedicated Host Group, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at
least one instance at least 99.95% of the time.
✑ For any Single Instance Virtual Machine using Premium SSD or Ultra Disk for all Operating System
Disks and Data Disks, we guarantee you will have Virtual
Machine Connectivity of at least 99.9%.

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.

What should you do to minimize licensing costs for the deployment?
 A. Deallocate the virtual machines during off hours.

 B. Use Azure Hybrid Benefit.
 C. Configure Azure Cost Management budgets.

Question #: 278
Topic #: 1
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?
 A. a reservation
 B. a subscription
 C. a resource group
 D. a container instance
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 ‫ג‬€˜per subscription‫ג‬€™. 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.

If the SLA for an Azure service is not met, you receive credits for that service and that service only.
The credits are deducted from your monthly bill for that service.
If you stopped using the service where the SLA was not met, your account would remain in credit for
that service. The credits would not be applied to any other services that you may be using.
Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the particular Service, Service Resource, or Service tier for
which a Service Level has not been met. In cases where
Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Service Credits apply
only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or
Service tier, as applicable. The Service Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service
or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed your monthly service fees for that
Service or Service Resource, as applicable, in the billing month.
