-

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You need to configure the alert for VM1. The solution must meet the technical requirements.
Which two settings should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Setting 1: Threshold value
Set to 80 %
Scenario: An Azure Monitor alert for VM1 must be configured to meet the following requirements:
-Be triggered when average CPU usage exceeds 80 percent for 15 minutes.
-Calculate CPU usage averages once every minute.

Setting 2: Aggregation granularity
Set to 15 minutes.



You have an Azure subscription that contains multiple Azure services.
You need to send an SMS alert when scheduled maintenance is planned for the Azure services. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Enable Azure Security Center.
  2. Create and configure an Azure Monitor alert rule.
  3. Create an Azure Service Health alert.
  4. Create and configure an action group.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

Creating planned maintenance alerts using Azure Service Health
1. Login into the Azure portal and select Service Health.
2. Select Health alerts followed by + Create service health alert from the top of the window on the right.
3. In the Edit Alert blade, give the alert a Name, Description, check the subscription is correct and choose a resource group.
4. The next step is to work through the Criteria section choosing which services, regions and types of event alerts should be monitored. For the purpose of this article all services and regions have been checked but only planned maintenance events.
5. Select or create an Action group. (An Action group is a group of actions to be taken, should an event be logged.)
6. Configure the actions to be taken. We are only configuring an email alert, so we first name the action, then chose Email/SMS/Push/Voice from the drop down list.

Note: Azure Service Health can be used to view problems with Azure services that may impact any of your cloud services. Service Health monitors three types of health event:
Service issues “Azure services that are currently experiencing problems
Planned maintenance “Any known future maintenance that may affect the availability of your services Health advisories” Changes in services, for example, deprecated features or exceeded quota usage.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You have an Azure DevOps organization named Contoso and an Azure subscription. The subscription contains an Azure virtual machine scale set named VMSS1 that is configured for autoscaling.
You have a project in Azure DevOps named Project1. Project1 is used to build a web app named App1 and deploy App1 to VMSS1.
You need to ensure that an email alert is generated whenever VMSS1 scales in or out.

Solution: From Azure Monitor, configure the autoscale settings.
Does this meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Instead create an action group.
Note: An action group is a collection of notification preferences defined by the owner of an Azure subscription.
Azure Monitor, Service Health and Azure Advisor alerts use action groups to notify users that an alert has been triggered.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups



You configure Azure Application Insights and the shared service plan tier for a web app. You enable Smart Detection.
You confirm that standard metrics are visible in the logs, but when you test a failure, you do not receive a Smart Detection notification.
What prevents the Smart Detection notification from being sent?

  1. You must enable the Snapshot Debugger for the web app.
  2. Smart Detection uses the first 24 hours to establish the normal behavior of the web app.
  3. The web app is configured to use the shared service plan tier.
  4. You must restart the web app before Smart Detection is enabled.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

After setting up Application Insights for your project, and if your app generates a certain minimum amount of data, Smart Detection of failure anomalies takes 24 hours to learn the normal behavior of your app, before it is switched on and can send alerts.


Reference:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/proactive-failure-diagnostics



DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are planning projects for three customers. Each customer’s preferred process for work items is shown in the following table.



The customers all plan to use Azure DevOps for work item management.

Which work item process should you use for each customer? To answer, drag the appropriate work item processes to the correct customers. Each work item process may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Scrum
Choose Scrum when your team practices Scrum. This process works great if you want to track product backlog items (PBIs) and bugs on the Kanban board, or break PBIs and bugs down into tasks on the taskboard.

Box 2: Agile
Choose Agile when your team uses Agile planning methods, including Scrum, and tracks development and test activities separately. This process works great if you want to track user stories and (optionally) bugs on the Kanban board, or track bugs and tasks on the taskboard.

Box 3: CMMI
Choose CMMI when your team follows more formal project methods that require a framework for process improvement and an auditable record of decisions. With this process, you can track requirements, change requests, risks, and reviews.

Incorrect Answers:
XP:
The work tracking objects contained within the default DevOps processes and DevOps process templates are Basic, Agile, CMMI, and Scrum
XP (Extreme Programming) and DevOps are different things. They don't contradict with each other, they can be used together, but they have different base concepts inside them.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
