Part 2
Which deployment requires the fewest changes when migrating an existing SQL Server on-
premises solution?
Azure SQL Database Managed Instance
SQL Server running on a virtual machine
Azure SQL Database Single Database
Which of the following statements is true about SQL Server running on a virtual machine?

You must install and maintain the software for the database management system yourself, but
backups are automated
Software installation and maintenance are automated, but you must do your own backups
You're responsible for all software installation and maintenance, and performing back ups

Which of the following statement is true about Azure SQL Database?

Scaling up doesn't take effect until you restart the database
Scaling out doesn't take effect until you restart the database
Scaling up or out will take effect without restarting the SQL database

When using an Azure SQL Database managed instance, what is the simplest way to implement
backups?
Manual Configuration of the SQL server
Create a scheduled task to back up
Backups are automatically handled

What is the best way to transfer the data in a PostgreSQL database running on-premises into a
database running Azure Database for PostgreSQL service?
Export the data from the on-premises database and import it manually into the database running
in Azure
Upload a PostgreSQL database backup file to the database running in Azure
Use the Azure Database Migration Services

Part 3
What are the elements of an Azure Table storage key?
Table name and column name
Partition key and row key
Row number

When should you use a block blob, and when should you use a page blob?
Use a block blob for unstructured data that requires random access to perform reads and writes.
Use a page blob for discrete objects that rarely change.
Use a block blob for active data stored using the Hot data access tier, and a page blob for data
stored using the Cool or Archive data access tiers.
Use a page blob for blobs that require random read and write access. Use a block blob for discrete
objects that change infrequently.

Why might you use Azure File storage?

To share files that are stored on-premises with users located at other sites.
To enable users at different sites to share files.
To store large binary data files containing images or other unstructured data.

You are building a system that monitors the temperature throughout a set of office blocks, and
sets the air conditioning in each room in each block to maintain a pleasant ambient temperature.
Your system has to manage the air conditioning in several thousand buildings spread across the
country/region, and each building typically contains at least 100 air-conditioned rooms. What type
of NoSQL data store is most appropriate for capturing the temperature data to enable it to be
processed quickly?
Send the data to an Azure Cosmos DB database and use Azure Functions to process the data.
Store the data in a file stored in a share created using Azure File Storage.
Write the temperatures to a blob in Azure Blob storage.

What is provisioning?
The act of running series of tasks that a service provider performs to create and configure a
service.
Providing other users access to an existing service.
Tuning a service to improve performance.

What is a security principal?

A named collection of permissions that can be granted to a service, such as the ability to use the
service to read, write, and delete data. In Azure, examples include Owner and Contributor.
A set of resources managed by a service to which you can grant access.
An object that represents a user, group, service, or managed identity that is requesting access to
Azure resources.

Which of the following is an advantage of using multi-region replication with Cosmos DB?
