    • 1 : 99.94%

    • 1: 98.95%

    • 2: 99.94%

    • 2: 98.95%

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 1 : 99.94%
    A. 2: 98.95%
    Explanation
    The composite SLA value for the combination with the Azure SQL Database is 1: 99.94%, and the composite SLA value for the combination with the Azure Storage Queue is 2: 98.95%. This is because the composite SLA value is calculated by multiplying the SLA percentages of each individual component. In this case, for the combination with the Azure SQL Database, the SLA percentage is 99.99%, and for the combination with the Azure Storage Queue, the SLA percentage is 99%. Therefore, the composite SLA value for the combination with the Azure SQL Database is 99.99% * 99.95% = 99.94%, and the composite SLA value for the combination with the Azure Storage Queue is 99% * 99.95% = 98.95%.

    You deploy three virtual machines (VMs) to Azure as a three-tiered architecture. One VM hosts a front-end web application, one VM hosts a business application programming interface (API), and the other VM hosts a Microsoft SQL Server database. Only the front-end web application should be publicly accessible, and it should be accessible over HTTP on port 80. All three VMs must be accessible over Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on port 222. Only your account should be able to use RDP to access the VMs. You need to determine how Network Security Groups (NSGs) can be used in this scenario. Which two ways can NSG rules be used? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

    • To ensure that only the front-end VM is publicly accessible over port 80.

    • To ensure that all three VMs are accessible over port 222.

    • To ensure that the front-end VM hosts only web applications.

    • To ensure that only your account can use RDP to access the VMs.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. To ensure that only the front-end VM is publicly accessible over port 80.
    A. To ensure that all three VMs are accessible over port 222.
    Explanation
    NSG rules can be used to ensure that only the front-end VM is publicly accessible over port 80 by creating an inbound rule that allows incoming traffic on port 80 only for the IP address range of the internet. Additionally, NSG rules can be used to ensure that all three VMs are accessible over port 222 by creating an inbound rule that allows incoming traffic on port 222 for all IP addresses.

    A company has a single instance Azure virtual machine (VM) deployed in the North Central US region. You need to improve the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to guarantee 99.99% availability. You want to minimize the costs associated with the solution. What should you do? 

    • Install an additional instance in the same Availability Set.

    • Install two additional instances in the same Availability Set.

    • Install two additional instances in different Availability Zones in the same region.

    • Install an additional instance in the South Central US region.

    • Install an additional instance in a different Availability Zone in the same region.

    Correct Answer
    A. Install an additional instance in a different Availability Zone in the same region.
    Explanation
    To improve the SLA and guarantee 99.99% availability while minimizing costs, installing an additional instance in a different Availability Zone in the same region is the best option. Availability Zones are physically separate data centers within a region, providing redundancy and fault tolerance. By deploying the VM in a different Availability Zone, the company can ensure high availability in case of a failure in one zone. This solution is cost-effective as it only requires one additional instance instead of multiple instances or instances in different regions.

    Does this statement accurately describe Azure Powershell? Azure Powershell can be used to create Azure Resource Manager templates.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Azure PowerShell is a command-line interface that allows users to manage and automate Azure resources. While it provides a wide range of functionalities, creating Azure Resource Manager templates is not one of them. Resource Manager templates are JSON files used to define and deploy Azure resources, and they are typically created using tools such as Azure Portal, Visual Studio, or the Azure CLI. Therefore, the statement that Azure PowerShell can be used to create Azure Resource Manager templates is false.
