Your company has an app named App1 that uses data from the on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases shown in the following table. App1 and the data are used on the first day of the month only. The data is not expected to grow more than 3% each year. The company is rewriting App1 as an Azure web app and plans to migrate all the data to Azure. You need to migrate the data to Azure SQL Database. The solution must minimize costs. Which service tier should you use?
DTU-based Standard supports databases up to 1 TB in size. Incorrect Answers: A, C: vCore-based service tiers are more costly than DTU-based service tiers. D: DTU-based Basic only supports a maximum database size of 2 GB. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/service-tiers-dtu
Question 142
Your company has 300 virtual machines hosted in a VMware environment. The virtual machines vary in size and have various utilization levels. You plan to move all the virtual machines to Azure. You need to recommend how many and what size Azure virtual machines will be required to move the current workloads to Azure. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you use to make the recommendation?
Azure Migrate provides a centralized hub to assess and migrate on-premises servers, infrastructure, applications, and data to Azure. It provides the following: Unified migration platform: A single portal to start, run, and track your migration to Azure. Range of tools: A range of tools for assessment and migration.

Question 143
You plan to provision a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster in Azure that will use a third-party scheduler. You need to recommend a solution to provision and manage the HPC cluster node. What should you include in the recommendation?
You can dynamically provision Azure HPC clusters with Azure CycleCloud. Azure CycleCloud is the simplest way to manage HPC workloads. Note: Azure CycleCloud is an enterprise-friendly tool for orchestrating and managing High Performance Computing (HPC) environments on Azure. With CycleCloud, users can provision infrastructure for HPC systems, deploy familiar HPC schedulers, and automatically scale the infrastructure to run jobs efficiently at any scale. Through CycleCloud, users can create different types of file systems and mount them to the compute cluster nodes to support HPC workloads.

Question 144
HOTSPOT - You are designing an Azure App Service web app. You plan to deploy the web app to the North Europe Azure region and the West Europe Azure region. You need to recommend a solution for the web app. The solution must meet the following requirements: - Users must always access the web app from the North Europe region, unless the region fails. - The web app must be available to users if an Azure region is unavailable. - Deployment costs must be minimized. 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. Hot Area:
Box 1: A Traffic Manager profile To support load balancing across the regions we need a Traffic Manager. Box 2: Priority traffic routing - Priority traffic-routing method. Often an organization wants to provide reliability for their services. To do so, they deploy one or more backup services in case their primary goes down. The 'Priority' traffic-routing method allows Azure customers to easily implement this failover pattern.

Question 145
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You plan to deploy multiple instances of an Azure web app across several Azure regions. You need to design an access solution for the app. The solution must meet the following replication requirements: - Support rate limiting. - Balance requests between all instances. - Ensure that users can access the app in the event of a regional outage. Solution: You use Azure Traffic Manager to provide access to the app. Does this meet the goal?
Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer. This service allows you to distribute traffic to your public facing applications across the global Azure regions. Traffic Manager also provides your public endpoints with high availability and quick responsiveness. It does not provide rate limiting. Note: Azure Front Door would meet the requirements. The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) rate limit rule for Azure Front Door controls the number of requests allowed from clients during a one-minute duration.

Solution: You use Azure Load Balancer to provide access to the app. Does this meet the goal?
Azure Application Gateway and Azure Load Balancer do not support rate or connection limits. Note: Azure Front Door would meet the requirements. The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) rate limit rule for Azure Front Door controls the number of requests allowed from clients during a one-minute duration.

Question 148
HOTSPOT - Your company has two on-premises sites in New York and Los Angeles and Azure virtual networks in the East US Azure region and the West US Azure region. Each on-premises site has ExpressRoute Global Reach circuits to both regions. You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements: - Outbound traffic to the internet from workloads hosted on the virtual networks must be routed through the closest available on-premises site. - If an on-premises site fails, traffic from the workloads on the virtual networks to the internet must reroute automatically to the other site. 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. Hot Area:
Box 1: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) An on-premises network gateway can exchange routes with an Azure virtual network gateway using the border gateway protocol (BGP). Using BGP with an Azure virtual network gateway is dependent on the type you selected when you created the gateway. If the type you selected were: ExpressRoute: You must use BGP to advertise on-premises routes to the Microsoft Edge router. You cannot create user-defined routes to force traffic to the ExpressRoute virtual network gateway if you deploy a virtual network gateway deployed as type: ExpressRoute. You can use user-defined routes for forcing traffic from the Express Route to, for example, a Network Virtual Appliance. Box 2: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Incorrect: Microsoft does not support HSRP or VRRP for high availability configurations.

Question 149
HOTSPOT - You are designing an application that will use Azure Linux virtual machines to analyze video files. The files will be uploaded from corporate offices that connect to Azure by using ExpressRoute. You plan to provision an Azure Storage account to host the files. You need to ensure that the storage account meets the following requirements: - Supports video files of up to 7 TB - Provides the highest availability possible - Ensures that storage is optimized for the large video files - Ensures that files from the on-premises network are uploaded by using ExpressRoute How should you configure the storage account? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:
Box 1: Premium page blobs - The maximum size for a page blob is 8 TiB. Incorrect: Not Premium file shares: Max file size for Standard and Premium file shares are 4 TB. Box 2: Geo-redundant storage (GRS) GRS provides additional redundancy for data storage compared to LRS or ZRS. Box 3: A private endpoint - Azure Private Link allows you to securely link Azure PaaS services to your virtual network using private endpoints. For many services, you just set up an endpoint per resource. This means you can connect your on-premises or multi-cloud servers with Azure Arc and send all traffic over an Azure ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN connection instead of using public networks.

Question 150
HOTSPOT - A company plans to implement an HTTP-based API to support a web app. The web app allows customers to check the status of their orders. The API must meet the following requirements: - Implement Azure Functions. - Provide public read-only operations. - Prevent write operations. You need to recommend which HTTP methods and authorization level to configure. What should you recommend? To answer, configure the appropriate options in the dialog box in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:
Box 1: GET only - Get for read-only- Box 2: Anonymous - Anonymous for public operations.
