You are researching Microsoft Azure for your company. The company is considering
deploying Windows-

based VMs in Azure. However, before moving forward, the management team has asked you
to

research the costs associated with Azure VMs. You need to document the configuration
options that are

likely to save the company money on their Azure VMs. Which options should you
document? (Each answer

presents part of the solution. Choose four.)

Use HDD instead of SSD for VM storage.

Use unmanaged premium storage instead of managed standard storage.

Bring your own Windows custom images.

Use different Azure regions.

Use the least powerful VMs that meet your requirements.

Place all VMs in the same resource group.

Bring your own Windows license for each VM.

Explanation

In this scenario, you need to document which of the options presented are likely to save the
company

money for their Azure VMs. While this isn’t an exhaustive list, the correct money-saving
configuration

options are: Use HDD instead of SSD, use different Azure regions, use the least powerful
VMs that meet your

requirements, and bring your own Windows license (instead of paying for a license with the
VM). The other

options usually increase cost.

You are planning to deploy several Linux VMs in Azure. The security team issues a policy
that Linux VMs

must use an authentication system other than passwords. You need to deploy an
authentication method for

the Linux VMs to meet the requirement. Which authentication method should you use? Select
one.

SSH key pair

Azure multi-factor authentication

Access keys

Shared access signature

Explanation

Azure supports two authentication methods for Linux VMs - passwords and SSH (via an SSH
key pair).

Access keys and shared access signatures are access methods for Azure storage, not for
Azure VMs. In this

scenario, you need to use an SSH key pair to meet the requirement.

You deploy a new VM with default settings to a resource group named RG1. You validate
that you can

connect to it by using Remote Desktop Connection. However, when you attempt to connect
to it through

PowerShell remoting, the connection fails. You need to ensure that you can manage the VM
by using

PowerShell remoting. What should you do? Select one.

Create an inbound security rule to allow TCP port 80 and TCP port 443.

Create an inbound security rule to allow TCP port 5985 and TCP port 5986.
Create an inbound security rule to allow TCP port 3389.

Explanation

This was not explicitly covered in the course materials, but is an interesting learning point.
PowerShell

Remoting requires TCP port 5985 and TCP port 5986. While you can customize the ports,
this scenario

presents the default configuration. Some administrators opt to use TCP port 80 and TCP port
443 because

of their familiarity with them.

Your company has Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs and Ubuntu Linux VMs in Microsoft
Azure. The company

has a new project to standardize the configuration of servers across the Azure environment.
The company

opts to use Desired State Configuration (DSC) across all VMs. You need to ensure that DSC
can be used

across all the VMs. What two things should you do?

Replace the Ubuntu VMs with Red Hat Enterprise Linux VMs.

Deploy the DSC extension for Windows Server VMs.

Deploy the DSC extension for Linux VMs.

Replace the Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs with Windows Server 2016 VMs.

Explanation

Desired State Configuration (DSC) is available for Windows Server and Linux-based VMs.
In this scenario,

you just need to deploy the extensions to the existing VMs to start using DSC.

Another IT administrator creates an Azure virtual machine scale set with 5 VMs. Later, you
notice that the

VMs are all running at max capacity with the CPU being fully consumed. However,
additional VMs are not

deploying in the scale set. You need to ensure that additional VMs are deployed when the
CPU is 75%

consumed. What should you do? Select one.

Enable the autoscale option.

Increase the instance count.

Add the scale set automation script to the library.

Deploy the scale set automation script.

■■ Enable the autoscale option.

Add the scale set automation script to the library.

Deploy the scale set automation script.

Explanation

When you have a scale set, you can enable automatic scaling with the autoscale option. When
you enable

the option, you define the parameters for when to scale. To meet the requirements of this
scenario, you

need to enable the autoscale option so that additional VMs are created when the CPU is 75%
consumed.

Note that the automation script is used to automate the deployment of scale sets and not
related to

automating the building of additional VMs in the scale set.

Your company is preparing to deploy an application to Microsoft Azure. The app is a self-
contained unit that

runs independently on several servers. The company is moving the app to the cloud to
provide better

performance. To get better performance, the team has the following requirements:

●● If the CPU across the servers goes above 85%, a new VM should be deployed to provide
additional

resources.

●● If the CPU across the servers drops below 15%, an Azure VM running the app should be
decommissioned
to reduce costs.

You need to deploy a solution to meet the requirements while minimizing the administrative
overhead to

implement and manage the solution. What should you do? Select one.

Deploy the app in a virtual machine scale set.

Deploy the app in a virtual machine availability set.

Deploy the app by using a resource manager template.

Deploy the app and use PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC).

Deploy the app and use PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC).

Explanation

In this scenario, you should use a scale set for the VMs. Scale sets can scale up or down,
based on defined

criteria (such as the existing set of VMs using a large percentage of the available CPU). This
meets the

scenario’s requirements.

Your company is deploying a critical business application to Microsoft Azure. The uptime of
the application

is of utmost importance. The application has the following components:

●● 2 web servers

●● 2 application servers

●● 2 database servers

You need to design the layout of the VMs to meet the following requirements:

●● Each VM in a tier must run on different hardware

●● Uptime for the application must be maximized

You need to deploy the VMs to meet the requirements. What should you do? Select one.

Deploy 1 VM from each tier into one availability set and the remaining VMs into a separate
availability

set.

Deploy the VMs from each tier into a dedicated availability set for the tier.

Deploy the application and database VMs in one availability set and the web VMs into a
separate

availability set.

Deploy a load balancer for the web VMs and an availability set to hold the application and
database

VMs.

■■ Deploy the VMs from each tier into a dedicated availability set for the tier.

Deploy the application and database VMs in one availability set and the web VMs into a
separate
availability set.

Deploy a load balancer for the web VMs and an availability set to hold the application and
database

VMs.

Explanation

An availability set should hold VMs in the same tier because that ensures that the VMs are
not dependent

on the same physical hardware. If you deploy VMs in a single tier across multiple availability
sets, then you

have a chance of a tier becoming unavailable due to a hardware issue. In this scenario, each
tier should

have a dedicated availability set (Web availability set, app availability set, database
availability set).

You deploy an Azure VM into an availability set. The VM is the only VM in the availability
set. The VM runs

an application named App1. The VM has the following characteristics:

●● The VM uses Azure standard storage.

●● The VM does not have any data disks.

●● The VM was built with a custom image.

During an Azure planned maintenance event, the VM experiences downtime. The company
issues a new

requirement for App1:

●● App1 must remain available during Azure planned maintenance events

You need to reconfigure your environment to meet the new requirements. What should you
do? (Each

answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

Deploy a second Azure VM and add it to the same availability set.

Deploy a second Azure VM and add it to the same update domain.

Deploy a second Azure VM and add it to the same fault domain.

Convert the VM storage to premium storage.

Convert the VM to a Standard size or higher.

Convert the VM storage to use zone redundant storage.

Explanation

When an availability set only has a single member, an outage might occur during an Azure
planned

maintenance event. To ensure the app has at least one server available during a planned
maintenance

event, you should add a second VM to the same availability set. Instead of adding a second
VM, you can

convert the VM storage to premium storage. VMs with premium storage will remain
available during a

planned maintenance event.
