You need to configure an Azure policy to ensure that the Azure SQL databases have TDE enabled. The solution must meet the security and compliance requirements.

Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Scenario: All Azure SQL databases in the production environment must have Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled.

Step 1: Create an Azure policy definition that uses the deployIfNotExists identity.

The first step is to define the roles that deployIfNotExists and modify needs in the policy definition to successfully deploy the content of your included template.

Step 2: Create an Azure policy assignment

When creating an assignment using the portal, Azure Policy both generates the managed identity and grants it the roles defined in roleDefinitionIds.

Step 3: Invoke a remediation task

Resources that are non-compliant to a deployIfNotExists or modify policy can be put into a compliant state through Remediation. Remediation is accomplished by instructing Azure Policy to run the deployIfNotExists effect or the modify operations of the assigned policy on your existing resources and subscriptions, whether that assignment is to a management group, a subscription, a resource group, or an individual resource.

During evaluation, the policy assignment with deployIfNotExists or modify effects determines if there are non-compliant resources or subscriptions. When non-compliant resources or subscriptions are found, the details are provided on the Remediation page.

HOTSPOT

You plan to migrate App1 to Azure.

You need to recommend a high-availability solution for App1. The solution must meet the resiliency 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.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: 3

Scenario: App1 must meet the following requirements:

✑ Be hosted in an Azure region that supports availability zones.

✑ Maintain availability if two availability zones in the local Azure region fail.

A host group is a resource that represents a collection of dedicated hosts. You create a host group in a region and an availability zone, and add hosts to it.

Use Availability Zones for fault isolation

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. A host group is created in a single availability zone. Once created, all hosts will be placed within that zone. To achieve high availability across zones, you need to create multiple host groups (one per zone) and spread your hosts accordingly.

Box 2: 1

Scenario: App1 must meet the following requirements:

✑ Be hosted on Azure virtual machines that support automatic scaling.

An Azure virtual machine scale set can automatically increase or decrease the number of VM instances that run your application. This automated and elastic behavior reduces the management overhead to monitor and optimize the performance of your application.

HOTSPOT

You plan to migrate App1 to Azure.

You need to estimate the compute costs for App1 in Azure. The solution must meet the security and compliance requirements.

What should you use to estimate the costs, and what should you implement to minimize the costs? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: The Azure Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator estimates the cost savings you can realize by migrating your workloads to Azure.

Note: The TCO Calculator recommends a set of equivalent services in Azure that will support your applications. Our analysis will show each cost area with an estimate of your on-premises spend versus your spend in Azure. There are several cost categories that either decrease or go away completely when you move workloads to the cloud.

Box 2: Azure Hybrid Benefit

Azure Hybrid Benefit is a licensing benefit that helps you to significantly reduce the costs of running your workloads in the cloud. It works by letting you use your on-premises Software Assurance-enabled Windows Server and SQL Server licenses on Azure. And now, this benefit applies to RedHat and SUSE Linux subscriptions, too.

Scenario:

Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements:

✑ Once App1 is migrated to Azure, you must ensure that new data can be written to the app, and the modification of new and existing data is prevented for a period of three years.

✑ On-premises users and services must be able to access the Azure Storage account that will host the data in App1.

✑ Access to the public endpoint of the Azure Storage account that will host the App1 data must be prevented.

✑ All Azure SQL databases in the production environment must have Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled.

✑ Once App1 is migrated to Azure, you must ensure that new data can be written to the app, and the modification of new and existing data is prevented for a period of three years.

✑ On-premises users and services must be able to access the Azure Storage account that will host the data in App1.

✑ Access to the public endpoint of the Azure Storage account that will host the App1 data must be prevented.

✑ All Azure SQL databases in the production environment must have Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled.

✑ App1 must NOT share physical hardware with other workloads.

Box 2: NFSv3

Scenario: Plan: Migrate App1 to Azure virtual machines.

Blob storage now supports the Network File System (NFS) 3.0 protocol. This support provides Linux file system compatibility at object storage scale and prices and enables Linux clients to mount a container in Blob storage from an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) or a computer on-premises.

What should you do?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

HOTSPOT

How should the migrated databases DB1 and DB2 be implemented in Azure?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: SQL Managed Instance

Scenario: Once migrated to Azure, DB1 and DB2 must meet the following requirements:

✑ Maintain availability if two availability zones in the local Azure region fail.

✑ Fail over automatically.

✑ Minimize I/O latency.

The auto-failover groups feature allows you to manage the replication and failover of a group of databases on a server or all databases in a managed instance to another region. It is a declarative abstraction on top of the existing active geo-replication feature, designed to simplify deployment and management of geo-replicated databases at scale. You can initiate a geo-failover manually or you can delegate it to the Azure service based on a user-defined policy. The latter option allows you to automatically recover multiple related databases in a secondary region after a catastrophic failure or other unplanned event that results in full or partial loss of the SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance availability in the primary region.

Box 2: Business critical

SQL Managed Instance is available in two service tiers:

General purpose: Designed for applications with typical performance and I/O latency requirements.

Business critical: Designed for applications with low I/O latency requirements and minimal impact of underlying maintenance operations on the workload.

Topic 4, HABInsurance

Case Study

Overview

An insurance company, HABInsurance, operates in three states and provides home, auto, and boat insurance. Besides the head office, HABInsurance has three regional offices.

Current environment

General

An insurance company, HABInsurance, operates in three states and provides home, auto, and boat insurance. Besides the head office, HABInsurance has three regional offices.

Technology assessment

The company has two Active Directory forests: main.habinsurance.com and region.habinsurance.com. HABInsurance’s primary internal system is Insurance Processing System (IPS). It is an ASP.Net/C# application running on IIS/Windows Servers hosted in a data center. IPS has three tiers: web, business logic API, and a datastore on a back end. The company uses Microsoft SQL Server and MongoDB for the backend. The system has two parts: Customer data and Insurance forms and documents. Customer data is stored in Microsoft SQL Server and Insurance forms and documents ― in MongoDB. The company also has 10 TB of Human Resources (HR) data stored on NAS at the head office location. Requirements

General

HABInsurance plans to migrate its workloads to Azure. They purchased an Azure subscription.

Changes

During a transition period, HABInsurance wants to create a hybrid identity model along with a Microsoft Office 365 deployment. The company intends to sync its AD forests to Azure AD and benefit from Azure AD administrative units functionality.

HABInsurance needs to migrate the current IPSCustomers SQL database to a new fully managed SQL database in Azure that would be budget-oriented, balanced with scalable compute and storage options. The management team expects the Azure database service to scale the database resources dynamically with minimal downtime. The technical team proposes implementing a DTU-based purchasing model for the new database.

HABInsurance wants to migrate Insurance forms and documents to Azure database service. HABInsurance plans to move IPS first two tiers to Azure without any modifications. The technology team discusses the possibility of running IPS tiers on a set of virtual machines instances. The number of instances should be adjusted automatically based on the CPU utilization.

You are planning an Azure Storage solution for sensitive data. The data will be accessed daily. The data set is less than 10 GB.

You need to recommend a storage solution that meets the following requirements:

• All the data written to storage must be retained for five years.

• Once the data is written, the data can only be read. Modifications and deletion must be prevented.

• After five years, the data can be deleted, but never modified.

• Data access charges must be minimized

What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: General purpose v2 with Archive acce3ss tier for blobs

Archive – Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours.

Cool – Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.

Hot – Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.

Box 2: Storage account resource lock

As an administrator, you can lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources.

The lock overrides any permissions the user might have.

Note: 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.

A company plans to implement an HTTP-based API to support a web app. The web app allows customers to check the status of their orders.

The API must meet the following requirements:

✑ Implement Azure Functions

✑ Provide public read-only operations

✑ Do not allow write operations

You need to recommend configuration options.

What should you recommend? To answer, configure the appropriate options in the dialog box in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Allowed authentication methods: GET only

Authorization level: Anonymous

The option is Allow Anonymous requests. This option turns on authentication and authorization in App Service, but defers authorization decisions to your application code. For authenticated requests,

App Service also passes along authentication information in the HTTP headers.

This option provides more flexibility in handling anonymous requests.
