HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Select the answer that correctly completes the sentence.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Because of geo-distribution you can deploy apps and data to regional datacenters around the globe, thereby ensuring that your customers always have the best performance in their region.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Match the cloud computing benefits to the appropriate descriptions.

To answer, drag the appropriate benefit from the column on the left to its description on the right. Each benefit may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Which cloud computing benefit provides continuous user access to a cloud-based application with minimal downtime?

  1. agility
  2. scalability
  3. elasticity
  4. high availability

Answer(s): D



What enables a cloud service to adapt quickly to changing requirements?

  1. high availability
  2. predictability
  3. manageability
  4. agility

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Agility is the ability to react quickly.

In the cloud, it takes a minute or two to create a Virtual Machine that is up and running. On the other hand, it takes days or weeks when we submit a request to purchase a physical server and by when it gets delivered.

Agility enables users to be able to allocate and deallocate resources very quickly, and that is a huge benefit of the cloud.

What is an example of vertical scaling in a cloud environment?

  1. adding an additional CPU to an existing Azure virtual machine
  2. adding an additional Azure virtual machine
  3. adding an additional Azure Virtual Desktop session host
  4. adding an additional Azure App Service instance automatically

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Scaling up and down, which is also referred to as vertical scaling, is the process of upgrading an existing virtual machine to a more powerful virtual machine, or downgrading to a smaller, less powerful virtual machine. In Azure, this means resizing the existing VM to a larger size with more RAM and more CPU, or to a smaller size with less RAM and less CPU. Because vertical scaling involves the re-size of virtual machines, this kind of scaling results in VM restarts.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Yes
CapEx (Capital Expenditures): Purchasing an asset (factory, computer system, company car) is considered a capital expenditure. It requires payment for the entire asset, and the cost becomes an entry on the company’s balance sheet, depreciated over some period of time. This asset strategy also includes other costs such as upkeep, insurance, and personnel tied to the assets use.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: No
Azure Functions integrates with Azure software as a service (SaaS) offerings, including Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Mobile Apps and Azure Service Bus.

Platform as a service. Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications.

Box 2: Yes
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).

Box 3: Yes
Azure Virtual Machines are image service instances Azure IaaS uses to deploy persistent VMs with nearly any server workload that you want.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Match the cloud computing benefits to the appropriate requirements.

To answer, drag the appropriate benefit from the column on the left to its requirement on the right. Each benefit may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

NOTE: Each correct match is worth one point.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: High availability

Box 2: Geo-distribution
You can direct traffic with a geo-distributed app using Azure and Azure Stack Hub.

Use the geo-distributed apps pattern
With the geo-distributed pattern, your app spans regions. You can default to the public cloud, but some of your users may require that their data remain in their region. You can direct users to the most suitable cloud based on their requirements.

Box 3: Scalability

Question 2:
Correct answer: Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).
Why:

  • Geo-redundant storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary Azure region, but applications normally cannot read from that secondary region.
  • RA-GRS provides the same geo-replication plus read-only access to the secondary region. This directly satisfies all three requirements:
- Multiple copies/nodes - Replication across geographic locations - Reads from both primary and secondary locations
  • Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) replicates within availability zones in one region, not across geographic regions.
  • Locally redundant storage (LRS) keeps copies within a single datacenter or region and does not provide geographic redundancy.

Therefore, the answer key’s B is correct.

Question 43:
Question 43’s answer key appears to be incorrect. The correct answer should be: Yes.

  • Azure App Service is a PaaS service.
  • Azure Storage accounts provide managed storage such as Blob, File, Queue, and Table storage. They are generally considered PaaS, because Microsoft manages the underlying hardware, operating system, and storage infrastructure.
  • You manage the data and configuration, not the physical infrastructure or storage servers.

The explanation incorrectly classifies Azure Storage accounts as IaaS. IaaS examples include Azure virtual machines, where you manage the operating system and installed software.
Therefore, this solution uses PaaS services and meets the stated goal.

The second question is "Paying electricity for your datacenter is an example of OpEx". According to your explanation this statement would be correct then, right?
Yes, you’re right. My previous explanation was incorrect.
Paying for electricity used by your datacenter is OpEx because it is an ongoing operating cost, not an upfront investment in a long-term asset.
The technically correct selections should be:

  1. No — Pay-as-you-go cloud services are OpEx, not CapEx.
  2. Yes — Datacenter electricity is an ongoing operational expense.
  3. Yes — Deploying or building your own datacenter requires upfront investment and is CapEx.

So the correct sequence is No, Yes, Yes.
The answer key’s explanation incorrectly labels datacenter electricity as CapEx. It may be loosely grouping datacenter costs together, but under the standard Microsoft CapEx versus OpEx distinction, electricity is OpEx.
