Microsoft AZ-304 Exam Actual Questions (P. 36)

You use Azure virtual machines to run a custom application that uses an Azure SQL Database instance on the back end.
The IT department at your company recently enabled forced tunneling.
Since the configuration change, developers have noticed degraded performance when they access the database from the Azure virtual machine.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize latency when accessing the database. The solution must minimize costs.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Correct Answer: A

DRAG DROP -
You are planning an Azure solution that will host production databases for a high-performance application. The solution will include the following components:
✑ Two virtual machines that will run Microsoft SQL Server 2016, will be deployed to different data centers in the same Azure region, and will be part of an Always

On availability group -
✑ SQL Server data that will be backed up by using the Automated Backup feature of the SQL Server IaaS Agent Extension (SQLIaaSExtension)
You identify the storage priorities for various data types as shown in the following table.

Which storage type should you recommend for each data type? To answer, drag the appropriate storage types to the correct data types. Each storage type 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.

Your company plans to deploy various Azure App Service instances that will use Azure SQL databases. The App Service instances will be deployed at the same time as the Azure SQL databases.
The company has a regulatory requirement to deploy the App Service instances only to specific Azure regions. The resources for the App Service instances must reside in the same region.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the regulatory requirement.
Solution: You recommend using the Regulatory compliance dashboard in Azure Security Center.
Does this meet the goal?

Correct Answer: B
The Regulatory compliance dashboard in Azure Security Center is not used for regional compliance.
Note: Instead Azure Resource Policy Definitions can be used which can be applied to a specific Resource Group with the App Service instances.
Note 2: In the Azure Security Center regulatory compliance blade, you can get an overview of key portions of your compliance posture with respect to a set of supported standards. Currently supported standards are Azure CIS, PCI DSS 3.2, ISO 27001, and SOC TSP.

You plan to increase the number of application instances.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce the overhead associated with sending events to the hub.
What should you recommend?

Correct Answer: A
Compared to HTTP, AMQP is easy to scale.
