You manage an application instance. The application consumes data from multiple databases. Application code references database tables using a combination of the server, database, and table name.
You need to migrate the application data to Azure.
To which two Azure services could you migrate the application to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
AD
A: The managed instance deployment model is designed for customers looking to migrate a large number of apps from on-premises or IaaS, self-built, or ISV provided environment to fully managed PaaS cloud environment, with as low migration effort as possible. Using the fully automated Data Migration Service (DMS) in Azure, customers can lift and shift their on-premises SQL Server to a managed instance that offers compatibility with SQL Server on-premises and complete isolation of customer instances with native VNet support.
D: Access your SQL Server data seamlessly regardless of whether it's on-premises or stretched to the cloud. You set the policy that determines where data is stored, and SQL Server handles the data movement in the background. The entire table is always online and queryable. And, Stretch Database doesn't require any changes to existing queries or applications - the location of the data is completely transparent to the application.

You manage an on-premises network and Azure virtual networks.
You need to create a secure connection over a private network between the on-premises network and the Azure virtual networks. The connection must offer a redundant pair of cross connections to provide high availability.
What should you recommend?
Correct Answer:
B
Every Azure VPN gateway consists of two instances in an active-standby configuration. For any planned maintenance or unplanned disruption that happens to the active instance, the standby instance would take over (failover) automatically.

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Blob storage account named store1.
You have an on-premises file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 stores 500 GB of company files.
You need to store a copy of the company files from Server 1 in store1.

Overview -
Fabrikam, Inc. is an engineering company that has offices throughout Europe. The company has a main office in London and three branch offices in Amsterdam,
Berlin, and Rome.
Existing Environment. Active Directory Environment
The network contains two Active Directory forests named corp.fabrikam.com and rd.fabrikam.com. There are no trust relationships between the forests.
Corp.fabrikam.com is a production forest that contains identities used for internal user and computer authentication.
Rd.fabrikam.com is used by the research and development (R&D) department only.
Existing Environment. Network Infrastructure
Each office contains at least one domain controller from the corp.fabrikam.com domain. The main office contains all the domain controllers for the rd.fabrikam.com forest.
All the offices have a high-speed connection to the Internet.
An existing application named WebApp1 is hosted in the data center of the London office. WebApp1 is used by customers to place and track orders. WebApp1 has a web tier that uses Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and a database tier that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2016. The web tier and the database tier are deployed to virtual machines that run on Hyper-V.
The IT department currently uses a separate Hyper-V environment to test updates to WebApp1.
Fabrikam purchases all Microsoft licenses through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that includes Software Assurance.
Existing Environment. Problem Statements
The use of WebApp1 is unpredictable. At peak times, users often report delays. At other times, many resources for WebApp1 are underutilized.
Requirements. Planned Changes -
Fabrikam plans to move most of its production workloads to Azure during the next few years.
As one of its first projects, the company plans to establish a hybrid identity model, facilitating an upcoming Microsoft 365 deployment.
All R&D operations will remain on-premises.
Fabrikam plans to migrate the production and test instances of WebApp1 to Azure.
Requirements. Technical Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following technical requirements:
Web site content must be easily updated from a single point.
User input must be minimized when provisioning new web app instances.
Whenever possible, existing on-premises licenses must be used to reduce cost.
Users must always authenticate by using their corp.fabrikam.com UPN identity.
Any new deployments to Azure must be redundant in case an Azure region fails.
Whenever possible, solutions must be deployed to Azure by using the Standard pricing tier of Azure App Service.
An email distribution group named IT Support must be notified of any issues relating to the directory synchronization services.
Directory synchronization between Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and corp.fabrikam.com must not be affected by a link failure between Azure and the on- premises network.
Requirements. Database Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following database requirements:
Database metrics for the production instance of WebApp1 must be available for analysis so that database administrators can optimize the performance settings.
To avoid disrupting customer access, database downtime must be minimized when databases are migrated.
Database backups must be retained for a minimum of seven years to meet compliance requirements.
Requirements. Security Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following security requirements:
Company information including policies, templates, and data must be inaccessible to anyone outside the company.
Users on the on-premises network must be able to authenticate to corp.fabrikam.com if an Internet link fails.
Administrators must be able authenticate to the Azure portal by using their corp.fabrikam.com credentials.
All administrative access to the Azure portal must be secured by using multi-factor authentication.
The testing of WebApp1 updates must not be visible to anyone outside the company.
Question
What should you include in the identity management strategy to support the planned changes?
Correct Answer:
C
Directory synchronization between Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and corp.fabrikam.com must not be affected by a link failure between Azure and the on- premises network. (This requires domain controllers in Azure)
Users on the on-premises network must be able to authenticate to corp.fabrikam.com if an Internet link fails. (This requires domain controllers on-premises)
