DP-203 PDF 397 Questions

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool named Pool1 and an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named Account1.
You plan to access the files in Account1 by using an external table.
You need to create a data source in Pool1 that you can reference when you create the external table. How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? 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: blob
The following example creates an external data source for Azure Data Lake Gen2 CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE YellowTaxi
WITH ( LOCATION = 'https://azureopendatastorage.blob.core.windows.net/nyctlc/yellow/', TYPE = HADOOP)
Box 2: HADOOP


Reference:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/develop-tables-external-tables



You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Blob Storage account named storage1 and an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool named Pool1.
You need to store data in storage1. The data will be read by Pool1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
-Enable Pool1 to skip columns and rows that are unnecessary in a query.
-Automatically create column statistics.
-Minimize the size of files.

Which type of file should you use?

  1. JSON
  2. Parquet
  3. Avro
  4. CSV

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Automatic creation of statistics is turned on for Parquet files. For CSV files, you need to create statistics manually until automatic creation of CSV files statistics is supported.


Reference:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/develop-tables-statistics



DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You plan to create a table in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
Data in the table will be retained for five years. Once a year, data that is older than five years will be deleted. You need to ensure that the data is distributed evenly across partitions. The solution must minimize the amount of time required to delete old data.

How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value 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: HASH
Box 2: OrderDateKey
In most cases, table partitions are created on a date column.
A way to eliminate rollbacks is to use Metadata Only operations like partition switching for data management. For example, rather than execute a DELETE statement to delete all rows in a table where the order_date was in October of 2001, you could partition your data early. Then you can switch out the partition with data for an empty partition from another table.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 service.
You need to design a data archiving solution that meets the following requirements:

-Data that is older than five years is accessed infrequently but must be available within one second when requested.
-Data that is older than seven years is NOT accessed.
-Costs must be minimized while maintaining the required availability.

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

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Move to cool storage

Box 2: Move to archive storage
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.

The following table shows a comparison of premium performance block blob storage, and the hot, cool, and archive access tiers.


Reference:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiers



HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You plan to create an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account.
You need to recommend a storage solution that meets the following requirements:

-Provides the highest degree of data resiliency
-Ensures that content remains available for writes if a primary data center fails

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.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

admin guide (windows) respond to malicious causality chains. when the cortex xdr agent identifies a remote network connection that attempts to perform malicious activity—such as encrypting endpoint files—the agent can automatically block the ip address to close all existing communication and block new connections from this ip address to the endpoint. when cortex xdrblocks an ip address per endpoint, that address remains blocked throughout all agent profiles and policies, including any host-firewall policy rules. you can view the list of all blocked ip addresses per endpoint from the action center, as well as unblock them to re-enable communication as appropriate. this module is supported with cortex xdr agent 7.3.0 and later. select the action mode to take when the cortex xdr agent detects remote malicious causality chains: enabled (default)—terminate connection and block ip address of the remote connection. disabled—do not block remote ip addresses. to allow specific and known s
