Question 1:In our subscription, we have four different resource groups. They are RG1, RG2, RG3, RG4. RG2 has a Read-only lock at the resource group scope. RG3 has a Delete lock at the resource group scope. RG1 and RG4 do not have locks. We need to determine how we could move resources between resource groups during the lifecycle of these resources. Assuming all resources provisioned support moving between resource groups regardless of region. Which of the following statements are plausible?
A. We can move resources from RG1 to RG4.
B. We can move resources between any of these resource groups.
Notes: We can effectively move resources from RG1 and RG4 because RG1 does not have a lock. We can move resources from RG4 and RG3 because RG4 does not have a lock. Also, while RG3 does have a Delete lock this does not stop resources from being moved into this resource group.
Question 2: Your company has recently added a few new users to your Azure Active Directory. You have already added them to an active directory group, and now you have asked them to add their devices to the domain. When they add their devices, you have to ensure they are prompted to use a mobile phone to verify their identity. How do you configure this?
A. Require multi-factor authentication to join devices
Question 3: Under your Azure Subscription, you are trying to identify VMs that are underutilized in order to shutdown all VMs with CPU utilization under 5%. Which blade should you use?
Question4: You have just purchased the domain name arseemagroup.com from a third party registrar. Using your Azure Active Directory domain, you’d like to create new users with the suffix @arseemagroup.com. Which three things must you do?
Notes: In order to add the domain “arseemagroup.com” to Azure AD, you must add the domain from the custom domain names blade.
When you add your custom domain to Azure AD, you must create an MX or TXT record with a destination address (provided) in order to verify that the domain does indeed belong to you.
Question 5: You have two subscriptions named Subscription1 and Subscription2. You are logged into Azure using Azure PowerShell from Computer1. How can you identify which subscription you are currently viewing and then switch from one subscription to the other for the current session at Computer1.
A. Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName
B. Get-AzContext
C. Select-AzContext
D. AzShow-Context
ANSWER5:
A and B
Notes: In Az PowerShell 3.7.0, Set-AzContext sets the tenant, subscription, and environment for cmdlets to use in the current session.
In Az PowerShell 3.7.0, ‘Get-AzContext’ gets the metadata used to authenticate Azure Resource Manager requests.
Question 6: You have two subscriptions named Subscription1 and Subscription2. You are currently managing resources in Subscription1 from Computer1 that has the Azure CLI installed. You need to switch to Subscription2. Which command should you run?
A. az set account –subscription “Subscription2”
B. az account set –subscription “Subscription2”
C. az subscription set “Subscription2”
D. Select-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName “Subscription2”
ANSWER6:
B
Notes: You are accessing Azure from Computer1 with the Azure CLI installed; therefore, this command is the correct command.
Question 7: You work at the IT help desk for Consilium Corporation. You have been getting an influx of calls into the help desk about resetting users’ passwords. They keep reporting that they can’t seem to figure out how to reset their password in order to gain access to their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. What do you do?
A. Ensure that the users who are having problems are within the correct AD group
B. Make sure you have Azure Active Directory Free
C. Make sure they have their verification device (mobile app or access to email)
D. Verify that self-service password reset is enabled in Azure Active Directory
ANSWER7:
A C and D
Notes: Self-service password may not apply to those not in a specific Active Directory group. If the user is not in the group, they will not be able to reset their password.
In order to reset their password, the user will have to verify their identity using a mobile phone, mobile app, office phone or email.
Self-service password reset is an optional feature in Azure Active Directory, which may not apply to any and all users in the organization.
Question 8: In this scenario, we are working for Cloud Chase Support. We our the active administrator, and we have been tasked with determining how to ensure we do not incur costs in either our Prod-Subscription and our Dev-Subscription for virtual machine resources. We have a CloudChase management group where both subscription nested. We decide to use Azure Policy to enforce compliance on Virtual Machines. Our Policy definition states that virtual machines are not an allowed resource type at the scope of our CloudChase management group. There are some existing virtual machines in our Prod-Subscription at the time this policy is created. After the enforcement of our new policy which of the below statements is true?
A. We cannot create virtual machines in any subscription under the scope of our management group and our existing virtual machines will be deallocated.
B. Virtual machines can be created in our Prod-Subscription if they are compliant.
C. Virtual machines can be created in our Dev-Subscription.
D. We cannot create virtual machines in any subscription under the scope of our management group.
ANSWER8:
D
Notes: We created a policy that has a definition that defines that virtual machines are not a supported resource type at the scope of our management group. Any subscription under the scope of this management group will not support the provisioning of virtual machine resources.
Question 9: You recently signed up for Azure Active Directory Premium and need users to be able to reset their passwords if they are unable to login. What should you configure in Azure Active Directory?
A. Set “block sign-in” to off when creating the user
B. User password reset
C. User password change
D. Add user to sign-in group in Azure AD
ANSWER9:
B
Notes: With the password reset capability, the user will be able to click “forgot password” when trying to log in to the portal and reset their password on their own.
Question 10: You have an Azure Pay-as-you-go Subscription named Subscription1. You have some concerns about cost for Subscription1, and you would like to spend less than $100.00 US per month on all resources in this subscription. If you spend more than $90.00 US, you would like to get an alert in the form of a text message. What should you do?
A. Shutdown VMs when you are not using them
B. Create an alert in Azure Monitor
C. Create a budget alert condition tied to an action group
D. Create a budget in the subscriptions blade
ANSWER10:
C
Notes: Creating an alert condition is available when setting your budget, it is not required that you create an action group, however in this case where we want to be notified via SMS (text message), it is required that we tie an action group to our budget alert.
Question 11: We want to be provide an Azure AD B2B guest user the ability to manage all resources inside of our DevRG resource group. We want to give them these abilities over managing all resources inside of this resource group and nothing more. What role would we assign to the user to accomplish this goal? Assume we are assigning the role to the DevRG scope.
A. User Access Administrator
B. Owner
C. Contributor
D. Global Admin
ANSWER11:
C
Notes: This role will allow us to give this guest user the ability to manage all resources inside of the DevRG resource group, and nothing more like manage role assignments. This is exactly what we need for our scenario. When assigning permissions we need to think the principle of least privilege.
Question 12: You have just created a General-purpose V2 storage account in Azure. From a VM located in your on-prem environment, you’ve logged into your Azure subscription using the Connect-AzConnect command from the PowerShell command line.

Question 17: You have the following Azure Storage Accounts in your Subscription: stor1 (BlockBlobStorage) stor2 (FileStorage) stor3 (StorageV2) Which of these storage accounts can be converted to Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage (RA-GRS) based on their storage account kind? Please select the most appropriate answer.
Question 18: You create an Azure storage account named companystore with a publicly accessible container named container1. You upload a file to container1 named pic1.png. What will be the URL in order to access this blob?
Notes: The URL of the blob, by default will be the storage account name, followed by blob.core.windows.net, the container name, then the name of the blob.
Question 19: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1, you have an Azure virtual machine named VM1. Attached to VM1 are two network interface cards. You require a third network interface card with a network bandwidth above 1000 Mbps for your storage area network. What should you do?
A. Create an additional VM in the same subnet and connect to VM1 over the LAN
B. Create a new subnet with a sufficient number of available IP addresses
C. Create a new storage account to store data for VM1
Question 20: You are trying to create a new Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster from your local workstation. The AKS cluster must contain three nodes and ensure access to the worker nodes in order to troubleshoot the kubelet. You have authenticated to Azure from your local workstation with the Azure CLI. What command will you use to create an AKS cluster named AKS1 with the necessary components inside of the resource group named RG1?
A. az aks create -g RG1 -n AKS1 –generate-ssh-keys –node-count 3
B. az kubernetes create –name AKS1 –group RG1 –nodes 3 –generate-keys
C. az aks create –name AKS1 –resource-group RG1 –nodes 3 –ssh-key-value ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
D. az kubernetes create –name AKS1 –resource-group RG1 –nodes 3 –generate-keys
ANSWER20:
A
Notes: The correctcommand to use for creating an AKS cluster is az aks create and the -g and -n values are abbreviated syntax for resource group and name respectively. The --generate-ssh-keys flag will create the SSH keys in order to access the worker nodes. The --node-count flag will ensure that there are three worker nodes in the cluster.
Question 21: VM1 is located in the West US region, and the OS disk is Premium SSD. The size of VM1 is currently Standard_D2s_v3, but you need to change the size to Standard_D2. You are able to select the size from the size blade, but you receive an error message. Why can’t you change the VM size?
A. You need to provide the username and password for the OS to upgrade
B. Standard_D2 does not support premium SSD disks
C. The size Standard_D2 is not available in the West US region
D. You did not shut down (deallocated) VM1 before you change the size
ANSWER21:
B
Notes: Standard_D2 does not support premium disks; therefore, you are unable to change VM1 to this size. A good way to remember which size is available is the s in the size, as the s indicates Premium SSD. See more here: dsv3-series
Question 22: You have an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster named AKS1 within the resource group named RG1. You are trying run the command kubectl get all from the Azure Cloud Shell (https://shell.azure.com) to view your cluster resources. You received the error Error from server (BadRequest): the server rejected our request for an unknown reason. You’ve verified that the resources exist and the command is correct. What do you need to do in order to view your cluster resources from the Azure Cloud Shell?
A. Retrieve the access credentials using the command az aks get-credentials --name AKS1 --resource-group RG1
B. Log into the cluster GUI from the Azure Portal
C. Install the kubectl tool
D. Access the Kubernetes Dashboard using the command az aks browse --name AKS1 --resource-group RG1
ANSWER22:
A
Notes: AKS does not have a cluster GUI that is accessible from the Azure Portal. You must use a machine with kubectl installed, or the Azure Cloud Shell.
The kubeconfig is required in order to access the Kubernetes API. You can retrieve the kubeconfig using the az aks get-credentials command.
Question 23: You have a subscription named Subscription1. You create a new Azure VM in your subscription named VM5 running Windows 2012 R2. You try to connect and login to VM5, but you get an error that says “We couldn’t connect to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled.” You have verified that VM5 is running and has been assigned a public IP address. What change do you need to make in order to successfully connect and login to VM5?
A. Add a rule to the Network Security Group that will allow port 3389
B. Select Reset password from the VM blade
C. Use Network Watcher for detailed connection tracing
D. You need to access the VM from a computer that’s in the same subnet
ANSWER23:
A
Notes: A Network Security Group (NSG) is designed to filter traffic to and from Azure resources, including Azure VMs. Allowing port 3389 from your machine to the Azure VM will address the connection issue. You may reset the password, but being you received the error before attempting to enter your credentials says that it’s a connectivity problem, not a credentials problem.
Question 24: Subscription1 contains an Azure VM named VM1 with the following configuration:VM Size: Standard_D2s_v3
Public IP Address: 52.173.36.55
Resource Group: RG1
Availability Zone: None
Location: Japan East
Disk Type: Standard HDD
What are two things you can do to reduce data loss and achieve a 99.9% SLA?
A. Create a recovery services vault and enable replication for VM1
B. Move VM1 to a paired region
C. Place the VM in an availability zone
D. Change the disk type to Premium SSD
ANSWER24:
A and D
Notes: Creating a recovery services vault will allow you to back up the VM to a different region and location. You will enable replication to ensure that VM data and settings are continually replicated to the backup location for simple recovery.
Virtual machines with Premium SSD disks qualify for the 99.9% connectivity SLA.
Question 25: You have created an application that is to be run on Linux containers named ContainerApp1. You’ve created an Azure container instance with an FQDN, but you notice that when the container restarts, all application data is lost. What is the best solution to preserve the data associated with your application?
A. Create a public blob storage container and share the URI with the application
B. Create a storage account and share the SAS with the application
C. Mount an Azure file share as a volume in Azure Container Instances
D. Run the container on a VM, and use the managed disk attached to the VM
ANSWER25:
C
Notes:Azure Container Instancescan mount an Azure file share created with Azure Files. Azure Files offers fully managed file shares hosted in Azure Storage that are accessible via Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Using an Azure file share with Azure Container Instances provides file-sharing features similar to using an Azure file share with Azure virtual machines.
Question 26: You’ve created a Dockerfile that contains the necessary steps to build an image that you plan to use for your application running as a Web App in App Services named APP1. You have created an Azure Container Registry, which is where you plan to store your images to be used for APP1. What should your next step be?
A. Run the az acr build command
B. Create the App Service Plan
C. Run the docker push command
D. Run the docker login command
ANSWER26:
A
Notes: The az acr build command will build and push your image to an Azure Container Registry all in one command. You should use this if you don’t have docker installed, and/or if you don’t have the compute resources to build images on your local machine.
Question 27: You have an application that runs on instances in a Virtual Machine Scale Set. The number of instances in the VMSS is at three starting Monday. The minimum number of instances is one, and the maximum is 5 instances. There are two scaling rules for this VMSS:
Rule
Condition
Action
Rule1
CPU > 75%
+1 instance
Rule2
CPU < 25%
-1 instance
Based on the rules above and the chart below, on Wednesday how many instances will there be in our VMSS?
Notes: We start with 3 instances on Monday. Based on the chart we will still be at 3 instances on Tuesday at 12:01 because we have not met a condition for any scaling actions to take place, but then at 13:36 on Tuesday we will scale down an instance due to the CPU% being below 25%. Now we have 2 instances. Then on Wednesday at 12:10 we will be scale-out by one instance because our CPU% has gone above 75%. This gives us three instances on Wednesday.
Question 28: Subscription1 contains an Azure VM named VM1. You have added a data disk to VM1, as well as a new network interface card. You need to create two more Azure VMs just like this one named VM2 and VM3. What is the most efficient way to create VM2 and VM3 that will minimize cost?
A. Backup the VM and recover to a different region
B. Redeploy VM1 with the new disk and NIC and deploy the template to VM2 and VM3
C. Select Export template from VM1 blade, then deploy VM2 and VM3 with that template

ANSWER28:
C
Notes: Exporting the template from a VM is a quick and easy way to take the existing VM settings and automate future deployments.
Question 29: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. You have created a web app named App1 in Subscription1 that is sourced from a git repository named Git1. You need to ensure that every commit to the master branch in Git1 triggers a deployment to a test version of the application before releasing it to production. What are two changes that you must make to App1 to fulfill this requirement?
A. Create a build server with the master branch of Git1 as the trigger
B. Configure custom domains for test and production versions of App1
C. Add a new deployment slot to App1 to release the test version of App1
D. Create a new web app and configure failover settings from test to production
ANSWER29:
A and C
Notes: You have the option of creating a build server natively in App Services by selecting Deployment Center in the App1 blade. This will trigger a build every time a commit is made to the master branch of Git1.
Deployment Slots allow greater flexibility within app services, providing a built-in staging environment for your app, allowing you access to your application without deploying it to production.
Question 30: You plan to create an Azure Web App in the East US region. You need to ensure that this web app scales out with demand, to prevent downtime. You also need to ensure that the data that resides inside of the application will remain secure and never become exposed to anyone outside of the organization. Which App Service plan SKU will you chose that will meet these requirements and also save on cost?
A. FREE
B. B1
C. SHARED
D. I1
ANSWER30:
D
Notes: The I1 SKU allows your app to run on dedicated hardware, and also provides network isolation on top of compute isolation to protect your app. It also provides the maximum scale-out capabilities.
Question 31: VM1 is located in the East US region. You have added a premium SSD data disk to VM1, but the IOPS are not satisfying the needs of your application, how can you change the speed of the disk?
A. Select the disk configuration and increase the size
B. Shut down (Deallocate) the VM
C. Export the disk and convert to VHD
D. Create a new disk and migrate the data
ANSWER31:
A and B
Notes: Premium disk performance increases based on the size of the disk, while standard disks have consistent performance for all disk sizes. Disks can be resized only when they are unattached or the owner VM is deallocated. Disks can be resized only when they are unattached or the owner VM is deallocated.
Question 32: The NoName Company has just deployed a number of Azure VMs into a specific subnet in an Azure virtual network. They have also implemented a network security plan which includes the use of Azure Firewall. From those newly deployed VMs, the company wants to deny access to the website https://www.microsoft.com. How can you achieve this using their current Azure resources?
A. A network rule
B. Create a route via Route Table to the firewall (as a virtual appliance hop)
C. Configure an application rule on the Azure Firewall that blocks FQDNS www.microsoft.com
D. An Application Gateway
E. A Subnet named AzureFirewallSubnet
F. A VPN Gateway
ANSWER32:
A B C
Notes: A network rule would allow access to an external public DNS service, to lookup the microsoft.com domain name. Creating a route via Route Table to the firewall is required to direct incoming traffic (from the firewall public IP address) to a specific destination.
An application rule allows or blocks an address by URL. This is necessary in order to block https://www.microsoft.com according to the requirements of the company.
Question 33: You need to create an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that requires a static private IP address configured inside the IP address space for the VNet in which the VM resides. How do you configure a static IP address for this Azure VM?
A. After the VM has been created, create a new network interface and configure a static IP address for that network interface
B. After the VM has been created, go to the network interface attached to the VM and change the IP configuration to static assignment
C. When creating a VM in the portal, select New next to private ip address and choose static after assigning the correct IP address
D. When creating the VM in the portal, change the setting from dynamic to static on the networking tab under private IP address
ANSWER33:
B
Notes: Changing the IP configuration on the network interface will achieve this goal.
Question 34: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1, you have a web server that has the IP address 10.1.0.83 and a database server that has the IP address 10.1.0.142. Instead of remembering the IP addresses of the servers, you’d like to connect to these servers using a DNS name. With no DNS server currently, and without having to create a new DNS server, how can you access your database server from your web server by the DNS name db.yourcompany.com?
A. Public DNS Zone
B. Promote Server to Domain Controller
C. Access the Domain Controller
D. Private DNS Zone
ANSWER34:
D
Notes: A private DNS zone is an easy way to register servers with a DNS name versus having to access them by their IP address
Question 35: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1 you have two VNets, one named VNet-Hub and one named VNet-Spoke. Within VNet-Hub, there is an Azure Firewall with a public IP address, configured as a Standard SKU. In VNet-Spoke, there is a Windows Server 2016 with no public IP address and no Network Security Group (NSG). Using which three items can you utilize the public IP address of the Azure firewall to connect to the Windows Server, without exposing the server to the public internet directly?
A. NAT Rule for the Firewall
B. Route Table
C. Virtual Network Gateway
D. Virtual Network Peering
E. ExpressRoute Gateway
ANSWER35:
A B D
Notes: You can configure a NAT rule on the firewall to translate and filter inbound Internet traffic to your subnets. You will need a route table to route ingress traffic to the firewall virtual appliance. In order for traffic to flow from the VNet-Spoke to VNet-Hub, you will need a peer connection between the virtual networks (Virtual Network Peering).
Question 36: You have an on-premises environment as well as your Azure environment with a subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 has a virtual network named VNET1 and you need to connect to the on-premises network securely using an ExpressRoute link and Site-to-site VPN. What Azure resources do you need in order to establish the connection while minimizing cost?
A. Azure VPN Gateway
B. Network virtual appliance
C. No resources needed, ExpressRoute is encrypted by default
Notes: VPN tunnels over Microsoft peering can be terminated either using VPN gateway, or using an appropriate Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) available through Azure Marketplace. We choose to use NVA because it accomplishes our goal, but for a lesser cost than Azure VPN Gateway. A route table is required to specify the next hop for traffic coming and going from the on-premises network.
Question 37: You have a Network Security Group (NSG) that is associated with a network interface that is attached to an Azure virtual machine named VM1 running Windows Server 2019. VM1 is in subnet named subnet1, in a virtual network named VNet1. A different NSG is attached to subnet1, but you notice that there is an inbound rule to allow port 3389. When you try to connect to VM1, you cannot connect. You reviewed the NSG and the source IP address and the protocol are correct. How can you connect to VM1 using best practices for NSGs in Azure?
A. The protocol on the NSG rule is set to UDP
B. The NSG attached to the network interface needs to be removed
C. The source IP address on the NSG rule is incorrect
D. You need to add an inbound rule for the NSG attached to the network interface
ANSWER37:
B
Notes: Removing the NSG from the network interface would allow the VM to use the NSG associated with the subnet, which is best practice.
Question 38: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1 you have an Azure VM named VM1 with Windows Server 2019 as the operating system. VM1 does not have a public IP address assigned to it. VM1 is located in a virtual network named VNet1, in subnet1. Attached to subnet1 is a Network Security Group (NSG) that has port 3389 open inbound. On your local machine, you do not have an RDP client installed, but you need to login into the VM. Without assigning a public IP address to the VM, what three things in combination can we use to log into VM1?
A. HTML5 supported Web Browser
B. Azure VPN Gateway
C. A subnet named AzureBastionSubnet
D. A Gateway Subnet
E. Azure Bastion Host
F. Inbound security rule to open port 443
ANSWER38:
A C E
Notes: The RDP connection to the virtual machine happens via Bastion host using the Azure portal (over HTML5) using port 443 and the Bastion service.
The subnet inside your virtual network to which the Bastion resource will be deployed must have the name AzureBastionSubnet. The name lets Azure know which subnet to deploy the Bastion resource to. This is different than a Gateway Subnet.
The Azure Bastion service is a new fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly in the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address.
Question 39: You have a subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 has two virtual networks named VNet1 and VNet2 in two different resource groups. VNet1 is located in the West US region and VNet2 is located in the East US region. You need to apply a network security group named NSG1 to a subnet in VNet1. NSG1 is located in the East US region. How do you attach NSG1 to the subnet in VNet1?
A. You can’t. Create a new network security group in the west us region
B. Move VNet1 into a resource group located in the east us region
C. Select the subnet and choose NSG1 from the network security group drop-down
D. Move NSG1 into the VNet1 resource group
ANSWER39: A
Notes: In order for you to associate a network security group to a subnet, both the virtual network and the network security group must be in the same region.
Question 40: You have a subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 has one Azure virtual machine named VM1 which is an Ubuntu server. You can’t seem to login to the server via SSH. What tool should you use to verify if the problem is the network security group?
A. IP flow verify tool in Azure Network Watcher
B. Azure Monitor VM metrics
C. Azure Traffic Manager traffic view
D. Azure Virtual Network logs
ANSWER40:
A
Notes: The IP Flow Verify tool checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from a virtual machine. The information consists of direction, protocol, local IP, remote IP, local port, and a remote port. If the packet is denied by a security group, the name of the rule that denied the packet is returned.
Question 41: You have two Azure virtual machines named VM1 and VM2. VM1 is using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 (LVM) operating system and is located in VNet1, within subnet1. VM2 is using the Windows Server 2019 operating system, and is located in VNet1, within subnet2. VNet1 has custom DNS configured, pointing to a DNS server with the IP address 172.168.0.6. VM2 has 10.0.1.15 configured as the DNS server on its network interface. Which DNS server will VM2 use for DNS queries?
A. 8.8.8.8
B. 10.0.1.15 for primary, 172.168.0.6 as secondary
C. 10.0.1.15
D. 172.168.0.6
ANSWER41:
C
Notes: Since the network interface attached to VM2 is assigned to a specific DNS server, it takes precedence over the DNS configured on the VNet.
Question 42: You have created a new Azure virtual machine in a subnet named Subnet1 with an attached network interface card named NIC1. The NIC1, attached to Subnet1, has the following effective routes:
Question 43: You have a standard load balancer that directs traffic from port 80 externally to three different virtual machines. You need to direct all incoming TCP traffic on port 5000 to port 22 internally for connecting to Linux VMs. What do you need in order to connect to the VM via SSH?
A. A public IP address for all three VMs
B. A Route Table with at least one rule
C. A Network Security Group (NSG)
D. A Network Address Translation (NAT) Rule
ANSWER43:
C and D
Notes: The NSG rules work alongside the NAT rules to provide a connection to a VM that’s behind a load balancer. NAT rules work alongside NSG rules to provide a connection to a VM that’s behind a load balancer.
Question 44: You have a web application that serves video and images to those visiting the site. You start to notice that your web server is overloaded, and often crashes because the requests have consumed all of its resources. To combat this, you’ve added an additional web server and you plan to load balance these servers by serving images from the first server only and serving video from the second server only. Which Azure resource can you implement that will properly load balance (at OSI layer 7) with URL-based routing and secure with SSL at the lowest cost?
A. Azure Load Balancer
B. Azure Front Door
C. Azure Application Gateway
D. Web Application Firewall
ANSWER44:
C
Notes: Azure Application Gateway operates at layer 7 (the application layer), and is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Application Gateway can make routing decisions based on URI path and secure with SSL.
Question 45: You manage a virtual network named VNet1 that is hosted in the West US region. Two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2, both running Windows Server, are on VNet1. You need to monitor traffic between VM1 and VM2 for a period of five hours. As a solution, you propose to create a connection monitor in Azure Network Watcher. Does this solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. –
C. –
D. No
ANSWER45:
A
Notes: The connection monitor capability in Azure Network Watcher monitors communication at a regular interval and informs you of reachability, latency, and network topology changes between the VM and the endpoint.
Question 46: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. You would like to connect your on-premises environment to Subscription1. You have to meet three requirements from the business. The first requirement is that the connection from the on-premises office and Azure must be a private connection. No network traffic is allowed to go over the public internet. The second requirement is that all traffic from the on-premises office and Azure must happen at layer 3 (network layer). The third requirement is that this connection from on-premises to Azure must be redundant to minimize the opportunity for failure. What type of connection fulfills these three requirements?
A. ExpressRoute with premium add-on
B. ExpressRoute
C. Site-to-Site VPN
D. Virtual WAN
ANSWER46:
B
Notes:ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet. An ExpressRoute Connection is a layer 3 connection between your on-premises network and Azure through a connectivity provider (e.g. Verizon).
Question 47: You have an Azure subscription as well as an on-premises environment that is connected via ExpressRoute circuit. You have two additional branch offices that you need to connect to the network, as well as ten remote employees that change locations frequently but still need access to Azure resources. What is the solution that will provide the quickest setup at the lowest cost?
A. Site-to-Site VPN
B. Point-to-Site VPN
C. Virtual WAN
D. Hub-and-Spoke Network Topology
ANSWER47:
C
Notes: The Virtual WAN architecture is a hub and spoke architecture for branches and users. It enables global transit network architecture, where the cloud-hosted network ‘hub’ enables transitive connectivity between endpoints that may be distributed across different types of ‘spokes’. All hubs are connected in full mesh in a Standard Virtual WAN making it easy for the user to use the Microsoft backbone for any-to-any (any spoke) connectivity. This satisfies the requirement to provide the quickest set up at the lowest cost.
Question 48: You have a small number of servers running a microservice, and you want to make sure that all the servers have connectivity to each other. You also need to calculate network performance metrics like packet loss and link latency. Which two Azure resources do you need to meet this requirement?
A. Log Analytics Workspace
B. Network Performance Monitor
C. Azure Monitor
D. Azure Traffic Manager
ANSWER48:
A and B
Notes:A Log Analytics workspace is a data repository for Azure Monitor log data. A pre-requisite in order to use Network Performance Monitor. Network Performance Monitor helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure. It also helps you monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints and monitor the performance of Azure ExpressRoute.
Question 49: You have two virtual networks named VNet1 and VNet2. VNet1 is located in the West US region, whereas VNet2 is located in the East US region. You need to configure a virtual machine that’s located in VNet1 to also communicate with VMs in VNet2. From the choices available how can we enable communication between resources in VNet1 and VNet2
A. Migrate the VNet1 VM to VNet2 and leave the other VM components on VNet1
B. Migrate the network interface card (NIC), the network security group (NSG) and the VM disks to VNet2
C. Just the VM disks will need to be migrated to VNet2
D. Configure a VNet-to-VNet VPN gateway connection to allow communication between VNets in different regions
Question 50: You have two subscriptions, one named Subscription1 and the other named Subscription2. Both subscriptions are located within the same tenant. You have one Azure virtual machine located within Subscription1 and another Azure virtual machine within Subscription2 and you’d like to view CPU utilization metrics on both virtual machines. How can you achieve this while maintaining the minimum number of Azure resources and minimizing cost?
A. Create a Log Analytics Workspace for both VMs
B.Turn on VM Insights in Azure Monitor
C. Install the Log Analytics (OMS) Agent on the VMs
D. Enable guest-level monitoring on each VM
ANSWER50:
A and B
Notes: You can view metrics data (such as CPU utilization %) over time by sending your metrics data to a log analytics workspace. This workspace can collect metrics data from multiple VMs, no matter if they are located in the same or different subscriptions.
VM integration with Azure Monitor Logs delivers powerful aggregation and filtering, allowing Azure Monitor for VMs to analyze data trends over time. You can view this data in a single VM from the virtual machine directly, or you can use Azure Monitor to deliver an aggregated view of your VMs where the view supports Azure resource-context or workspace-context modes.
Question 51: You have created a new Azure virtual machine named VM1. You plan to use VM1 as a web server, which will require the VM to be accessible using HTTP/S (HTTP and HTTPS) protocol. A Network Security Group (NSG) is attached to the NIC of VM1 with the following rules:
What changes do you have to make to the NSG in order to meet the requirements for VM1?
A. Change the priority of Rule3 to 200
B. Change the action of Rule1 to Allow
C. Change the priority of Rule4 to 200
D. Change the port of Rule5 to 443
ANSWER51:
C
Notes: Lower priority rules take precedence over higher ones. Changing Rule4 to a lower number will negate all the other rules of a lesser priority, therefore allowing traffic on ports 60-500, which includes 80 and 443, the ports necessary for allowing traffic over HTTP/S. Remember the lower the priority the priority number the higher the priority in regards to reading the rules.
Question 52: You have an Azure virtual machine running Windows Server 2016. You need to collect OS level metrics on this virtual machine, including Windows event logs and performance counters. Which of the following items do you need in order to collect this metrics data?
A. Enable guest-level monitoring
B. Windows Diagnostics Extension
C. Log Analytics Agent
D. InfluxData Telegraf Agent
E. Storage Account for Diagnostic Data
ANSWER52:
A B E
Notes: In order to install the diagnostics extension on an Azure VM, you must enable guest-level monitoring from the VM settings in the portal. Windows Diagnostic Extension is an agent in Azure Monitor that collects monitoring data from the guest operating system and workloads of Azure virtual machines and other compute resources. In order to enable guest-level monitoring, you need to create a storage account for storing the metrics data.
Question 53: You have an Azure subscription with a virtual machine named VM1. You are using Recovery Services Vault (RSV) to backup VM1 with soft delete enabled. The backup policy is set to backup daily at 11 PM UTC, retain an instant recovery snapshot for 2 days, and retain the daily backup point for 14 days. After the initial backup of VM1, you are instructed to delete the vault and all of the backup data. What should you do?
A. Turn off soft delete in the vault security settings
B. Wait 14 days
C. Stop the backup of VM1 and delete backup data
D. Delete the backup policy
E. Delete Backup Jobs Workload
F. Wait 15 days
ANSWER53:
A and C
Notes: When you stop the backup and delete the backup data, because you have soft delete enabled, the backup data is still kept. Permanently delete the soft-deleted backup items that would remove the backup data indefinitely. If you stop the backup of VM1 and choose delete backup data from the dropdown menu, this will stop future backups and delete the existing backup data.
Question 54: You have a number of virtual machines and web applications running in your Azure environment. These Azure resources are critical for business operations, so you’ve locked the resources in order to prevent deletion. In addition, how can you alert on these actions in the portal, and notify your team via email and SMS when a user is trying to delete or create a new resource from within your Azure subscription?
A. Pin the activity log to your dashboard
B. Create a new alert rule
C. Query Administrative Events and Copy Link to Query
D. Create a new action group
ANSWER54:
B and D
Notes: Alert rules specify the conditions for which the alert is triggered. Activity log alerts are the alerts that get activated when a new activity log event occurs that matches the conditions specified in the alert. An action group is a collection of notification preferences defined by the owner of an Azure subscription. Azure Monitor and Service Health alerts use action groups to notify users that an alert has been triggered.
Question 55: You have a .NET Core application running in Azure App Services. You are expecting a huge influx of traffic to your application in the coming days. When your application experiences this spike in traffic, you want to detect any anomalies such as request errors or failed queries immediately. What service can you use to assure that you know about these types of errors related to your .NET application immediately?
A. Client-side monitoring
B. Live Metrics Stream in Application Insights
C. Application Insights Search
D. Log analytics workspace
ANSWER55:
B
Notes: Live metrics stream includes such information as the number of incoming requests, the duration of those requests, and any failures that occur. You can also inspect critical performance metrics such as processor and memory.
Question 56: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1 you have two Azure VMs named VM1 and VM2, both running Windows Server 2016. VM1 is backed up using Recovery Services Vault, with a backup policy of producing a daily backup and keeping that daily backup for seven days. Also, a snapshot is kept for 2 days. VM1 is compromised by a virus that infects the entire system, including the files. You need to restore the files from yesterday’s backup of VM1. Where can you restore the files to in the quickest manner?
A. A new Azure VM
B. Restore the VM1 snapshot
C. VM2
D. In-place
ANSWER56:
B
Notes: Using snapshots for VM backups, you speed up the recovery time considerably. The snapshots are stored with the disks in Azure, so the transfer speeds are optimal.
Question 57: You have a subscription named Subscription1. You would like to be alerted upon certain administrative events within Subscription1 to detect unauthorized access. Which of the following is the quickest method to setup these types of alerts?
A. Monitor > Alerts > New Alert Rule
B. Log Analytics Workspace > myWorkdspace > Advanced Settings
C. Policy > Assignments > Assign Policy
D. Subscriptions > mySubscription > Activity Log > New Alert
ANSWER57:
A
Notes: Alerts can be created from within Azure Monitor

Suppose you have an application running on a windows virtual machine in azure. what is the best-practice guidance on where the app should store data files?
– Dedicated data disks are generally considered the best place to store application data files. They can be larger than OS disks and you can optimize them for the cost and performance characteristics appropriate for your data.
Hi, I am thinking about the costs for storing secrets, service bus and using Azure Functions. I have checked the price calculator, but its "operations", "executions", etc. Lets say, for sake of arguments, I have 5 secrets like connectionstrings, Facebook logins, etc and will use Azure Functions for a variety of less then 10mb confirmation mails and they would be 1000 a month. I get it to be really cheap. Like really cheap. But I am probably doing it wrong since I am not sure how much executions, operations etc things do. I am currently studing .net and so I am new. Can anyone explain the price calculator for me and if any other advice on the costs? submitted by /u/lurvensniff [link] [comments]
My understanding with private endpoints is that anything inside the subnet that you create for one can talk to the target resource. If I have another app service that is vnet integrated to a DIFFERENT subnet in the same VNET, azure seems to be able to automatically let the traffic jump from subnet A (source app service vnet integration) to subnet B (private endpoint sub pointing to private app service) This also seems to apply when the traffic source is an external vnet integration on API management. submitted by /u/Lower_Pirate_5350 [link] [comments]

For those who have passed the AZ-104 exam, what areas did you find the most challenging, and how did you prepare for them? submitted by /u/Popular-Station-5154 [link] [comments]
I am a Computer Engineering graduate who initially didn’t focus much on cloud technologies, but I’ve recently shifted my focus in that direction. For the AZ-900 exam, I studied the material from Microsoft Learn and completed the practice questions there. To build confidence, I also watched an Exam Cram 2024 video on YouTube and attempted the associated practice questions, getting 37 correct out of 50. However, I’m unsure if I’m ready for the exam and find it challenging to remember some answers, as things can get confusing. I’d appreciate any guidance on how to better prepare and retain the material more effectively. submitted by /u/bir002 [link] [comments]

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to understand this problem. It just doesn't make sense to me. I have traffic flow like Front Door > AppGW > APIM > App Services. AppGWs exist in different regions and pre-date Front Door. They are all configured with existing SSL listener with uploaded cert. Full .pfx from DigiCert, working no problem. Even though we now use Front Door with same cert for custom domain, we still have the AppGW routable for other cases and doing termination there. Today I went to update the certs on Front Door and AppGW, again using .pfx from DigiCert. Everything was fine updating Front Door itself, but after updating the certs on AppGW, Front Door sees the origin as unhealthy. The health probe is configured for HTTPS, the cert was definitely updated, but it seems like certificate chain cannot be verified, like intermediate certs are missing from .pfx. If I check the Front Door cert using openssl, or from browser, or using online checker there is no issue. The cert is completely fine and valid. But if I check the public site for AppGW directly, the certificate cannot be verified. It's 100% the same bundle, the same certificate, but it cannot be verified. Again because seems like intermediate/root cannot be found. I'm not sure if this is actually problem from AppGW or Front Door... Because AppGW will still route the traffic no problem when reaching directly. Sends to backend, backend remains healthy all along, etc. The only part broken is routing from Front Door > AppGW. If I turn off Origin health checks there is also no problem. Only when I have HTTPS health check will it stop routing traffic to AppGW origins. And in metrics show the origins as unhealthy. Anybody have any ideas or hints? Something stupid I am missing? Why would Front Door health probe fail immediately after updating cert on AppGW? I tried to delete origin and re-add it, upload .pfx again, changed to managed identity + key vault, turned off WAF, etc. Still somehow Front Door thinks Origins are unhealthy. submitted by /u/Lack_of_Swag [link] [comments]
Under no circumstances does this mean you can post hateful, harmful, or distasteful content - most of us are still at work, let's keep it safe enough so none of us get fired. Do not post exam dumps, ads, or paid services. All "free posts" must have some sort of relationship to Azure. Relationship to Azure can be loose; however, it must be clear. It is okay to be meta with the posts and memes are allowed. If you make a meme with a Good Guy Greg hat on it, that's totally fine.

Looking for some advice on how to proceed with this. Trying to replace a costly 3rd party firewall in Azure that is just doing basic Layer 3/4 filtering and NAT'ing for some websites. Seemed like an application gateway with a well configured WAF would be the way to go. I have that all setup but ran into an issue I wasn't counting on. The backend web servers are using our wildcard certificate, but they are ADDS joined and their internal FQDN is a different domain than our external facing domain. The end result is that the app gateway's health check is failing because the common name of the backend server certificate doesn't match what's in the health probe. Probably the best path forward is to do all SSL termination at the gateway and just pass traffic to the backend nodes via HTTP, but due to some... let's say very, very creative configurations on those backend web servers, this would be a pretty sizable and disruptive task. I don't know if there is any way within Azure to associate the external domain with those backend web servers so that I can setup the backend pool targets using that FQDN.. I tried creating DNS records in Azure DNS, but the app gateway couldn't resolve them for some reason. Not that I was terribly fond of making external DNS entries with our internal address space. Anyone know of any tricks around this? Is there a different service I should be looking at instead of the application gateway? I really wanted that WAF capability. submitted by /u/OldManAngryAtCloud [link] [comments]
Has anyone used Azure Automation to use a powersell script to Uninstall a program from on-prem servers? I have tried using both Azure and the Hybrid worker. I have the correct permissions but it seems to fail really quick or complete but obviously it doesn't uninstall the program. I have locally ran the script and it works great but I need to do this on a lot of Windows Servers that are on-premise.

In summary, I have an Ubuntu VM running a SIEM (Wazuh) server, I have a second VM (Windows) as an agent, which is in the same virtual network and subnet. I can ping both machines from either VM's, everything is good, EXCEPT I am unable to login to the SIEM browser's dashboard from the second VM (Agent), only from the first VM (SIEM), the dashboard is the locahost IP address. I am sure it has to do with something on Azure's end, I am able to reproduce everything on my local computer hypervisor and access the dashboard from any local VM. Steps I took: Make sure they're both on the same vnet and subnet. Create and make sure NSG's are correctly setup, necessary ports/addresses are opened. Ensure Ubuntu's and Window's firewalls are setup as well. Make sure Wazuh (SIEM) setup is configured correctly. I do not know what else to do, am I missing something? Do I have to create an app gateway to access the VM's SIEM web dashboard? Any help leading me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! submitted by /u/realgui [link] [comments]

I have a key vault on a subscription on which I'm the owner. The key vault permission model is set to Vault access policy. In the vault access policy I am listed with all permissions except Rotation Policy Operations and Release under Privileged Key operations.

I can access keys, secrets, etc. But despite this, I am unable to make any changes to the network settings to grant access to a specific set of IPs. I have the virtual network/subnet for the environment in the list already but trying to update the firewall is failing. I have also tried to enable purge protection.

I have to say, this was the toughest Microsoft exam I've ever taken. I nearly ran out of time, and without the Microsoft Learn documentation, I wouldn't have passed. Here’s my first tip: Get comfortable searching within the Microsoft Learn documentation. If you word your search correctly, you can quickly find answers right in the search results. For preparation, I used the Microsoft Learn path, the SC-200 labs (which were incredibly helpful), and John Christopher’s video training series. The Microsoft exam assessment will gauge your basic knowledge, but the actual exam takes things to a whole new level. I took the exam at home, did not encounter any issues - everything went smoothly. Very happy with my achievement, thanks be to God. submitted by /u/saulov8 [link] [comments]

Azure Fundamentals –> Azure Administrator –> Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals –> Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Microsoft Azure Security Technologies
or Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions
That being said, I’d recommend learn scripting as that would come in handy for this admin path expert. If you passed SAA, I’m positive you can pass any cert with proper dedication.
FYI – I created this free tool to carve out your certification path. Give it a try here. Open to feedback on how it can be improved for everyone.
Certifications for Microsoft Azure
There’s a Microsoft certification for you, whether or not you’re thinking about what Microsoft Azure is and where to start, or where you should go next in your cloud job. There are around 16 Azure cloud assertions open. Here is an overview of current Microsoft Azure assertions.
Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Scientist Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Engineer Associate
Microsoft Certified: Azure Stack Hub Operator Associate
Expert Level Certifications
Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert
Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert
Specialty Certifications
Microsoft Certified: Azure IoT Developer Specialty
Microsoft Certified: Azure for SAP Workloads Specialty
Microsoft Certified: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty
There are also two other Microsoft assertions that are Azure-related. While we won’t cautiously depict them in this post, dependent upon your master way and limit, they might justify researching.
For security engineers responsible for peril the leaders, checking, and response, the Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate confirmation is required. It requires completing the SC-200 appraisal.
Test SC-300 is required for the Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate, which is for heads who use Azure AD to manage IAM.
What mightbe prudent for you to do first?
In particular, you should make certain with regards to what a Microsoft Azure confirmation is and isn’t. Is simply clear? Phenomenal! Then, at that point, we ought to explore three circumstances that can assist you with picking where to start.
“I’m new to development. I’m essentially uninformed in regards to this ‘cloud’ that is quite serious.”
You can sort out some way to cloud in the event that you’re the kind of person who counts “Microsoft Word” as a specific capacity on your resume. On the off chance that you’re just beginning started, a section level certification will outfit you with the language and understanding you’ll need to all the more promptly analyze your ensuing stages. The AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals accreditation is your first stop on the Azure road.
The cloud might be alarming, yet the capacities you’ll get as you seek after this accreditation will help you with understanding it in a way that even an all out beginner can understand — especially if you have the right getting ready. (Look at me as a hotshot, yet I think our Azure Fundamentals getting ready is astonishing.)
“I have a fundamental cognizance of the cloud.”
