DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You need to configure an Azure policy to ensure that the Azure SQL databases have Transparent Data Encryption (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.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Step 1: Create an Azure policy definition that uses the deployIfNotExists
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 (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You plan to deploy Azure Databricks to support a machine learning application. Data engineers will mount an Azure Data Lake Storage account to the Databricks file system. Permissions to folders are granted directly to the data engineers.
You need to recommend a design for the planned Databrick deployment. The solution must meet the following requirements:
-Ensure that the data engineers can only access folders to which they have permissions.
-Minimize development effort.
-Minimize costs.
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.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Premium
Premium Databricks SKU is required for credential passhtrough.
Box 2: Credential passthrough
Athenticate automatically to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 (ADLS Gen1) and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2) from Azure Databricks clusters using the same Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) identity that you use to log into Azure Databricks. When you enable Azure Data Lake Storage credential passthrough for your cluster, commands that you run on that cluster can read and write data in Azure Data Lake Storage without requiring you to configure service principal credentials for access to storage.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have an Azure subscription that contains the storage accounts shown in the following table.
You plan to implement two new apps that have the requirements shown in the following table.
Which storage accounts should you recommend using for each app? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:


  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Storage1 and storage3 only
Need to use Standard accounts.
Data stored in a premium block blob storage account cannot be tiered to hot, cool, or archive using Set Blob Tier or using Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management
Box 2: Storage1 and storage4 only
Azure File shares requires Premium accounts. Only Storage1 and storage4 are premium.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You plan to create an Azure Storage account that will host file shares. The shares will be accessed from on-premises applications that are transaction intensive.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize latency when accessing the file shares. The solution must provide the highest-level of resiliency for the selected storage tier.
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.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Premium
Premium: Premium file shares are backed by solid-state drives (SSDs) and provide consistent high performance and low latency, within single-digit milliseconds for most IO operations, for IO-intensive workloads.
Incorrect Answers:
- Hot: Hot file shares offer storage optimized for general purpose file sharing scenarios such as team shares. Hot file shares are offered on the standard storage hardware backed by HDDs.
- Transaction optimized: Transaction optimized file shares enable transaction heavy workloads that don't need the latency offered by premium file shares.
Transaction optimized file shares are offered on the standard storage hardware backed by hard disk drives (HDDs). Transaction optimized has historically been called "standard", however this refers to the storage media type rather than the tier itself (the hot and cool are also "standard" tiers, because they are on standard storage hardware).
Box 2: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS):
Premium Azure file shares only support LRS and ZRS.
Zone-redundant storage (ZRS): With ZRS, three copies of each file stored, however these copies are physically isolated in three distinct storage clusters in different Azure availability zones.

You have an on-premises network and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network has several branch offices.
A branch office in Toronto contains a virtual machine named VM1 that is configured as a file server. Users access the shared files on VM1 from all the offices.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the users can access the shared files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible.
What should you include in the recommendation?

  1. a Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup
  2. Azure blob containers and Azure File Sync
  3. a Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup
  4. an Azure file share and Azure File Sync

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.
