Question 229

Your company has an Azure subscription that contains the following unused resources: ✑ 20 user accounts in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) ✑ Five groups in Azure AD ✑ 10 public IP addresses ✑ 10 network interfaces You need to reduce the Azure costs for the company. Which unused resources should you remove?

A. the network interfaces
B. the public IP addresses
C. the groups
D. the user accounts
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Among the listed unused resources, only public IP addresses incur ongoing Azure charges. Azure AD user accounts and groups are free at the basic tier, and network interfaces do not have standalone costs. Removing unused public IP addresses will therefore reduce Azure costs.

Question 230

Your company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription. You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency. You need to recommend an Azure storage redundancy option. You have the following data storage requirements: ✑ Data must be stored on multiple nodes. ✑ Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations. ✑ Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?

A. Geo-redundant storage
B. Read-only geo-redundant storage
C. Zone-redundant storage
D. Locally redundant storage
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The requirements specify geo-replication across separate geographic locations and the ability to read data from both the primary and secondary locations. Standard Geo-redundant storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary region but does not allow read access to the secondary unless a failover occurs. Read-access geo-redundant storage (commonly referred to as RA-GRS) provides continuous read access to the secondary region while maintaining geo-replication across regions. Zone-redundant and locally redundant storage do not meet the geographic separation requirement. Therefore, option B is correct.

Question 231

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's Active Directory forest includes thousands of user accounts. You have been informed that all network resources will be migrated to Azure. Thereafter, the on-premises data center will be retired. You are required to employ a strategy that reduces the effect on users, once the planned migration has been completed. Solution: You plan to sync all the Active Directory user accounts to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Synchronizing on‑premises Active Directory user accounts to Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) preserves existing identities, credentials, and group memberships. This enables users to continue accessing resources with minimal disruption after the migration, meeting the goal of reducing user impact when the on‑premises data center is retired.

Question 232

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. You are planning a strategy to deploy numerous web servers and database servers to Azure. This strategy should allow for connection types between the web servers and database servers to be controlled. Solution: You include network security groups (NSGs) in your strategy. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Network security groups (NSGs) are designed to control inbound and outbound network traffic between Azure resources. By defining rules based on source, destination, port, and protocol, NSGs can manage and restrict the connection types between web servers and database servers, which satisfies the stated requirement.

Question 233

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's developers intend to deploy a large number of custom virtual machines on a weekly basis. They will also be removing these virtual machines during the same week it was deployed. Sixty percent of the virtual machines have Windows Server 2016 installed, while the other forty percent has Ubuntu Linux installed. You are required to make sure that the administrative effort, needed for this process, is reduced by employing a suitable Azure service. Solution: You recommend the use of Azure Reserved Virtual Machines (VM) Instances. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Azure Reserved VM Instances are a pricing commitment for one- or three-year terms intended to reduce costs for predictable, long-running workloads. They do not reduce administrative effort and are unsuitable for virtual machines that are deployed and removed within the same week. Therefore, recommending Reserved VM Instances does not meet the stated goal.

Question 234

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation. The resources required by each business unit are identical. You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically. Solution: You recommend that the Azure Resource Manager templates be included in the strategy. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates enable infrastructure as code, allowing automated, repeatable deployment of identical Azure resources. Since each business unit requires the same set of resources and automation is the goal, including ARM templates in the strategy directly satisfies the requirements.

Question 235

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation. The resources required by each business unit are identical. You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically. Solution: You recommend that the Azure API Management service be included in the strategy. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Azure API Management is used to publish, secure, and manage APIs for backend services. It does not automate the creation or deployment of Azure resources. Automating identical resource deployments requires Infrastructure as Code tools such as Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, Bicep, Terraform, or Azure Blueprints. Therefore, the solution does not meet the goal.

Question 237

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company. You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution. Solution: You should make use of Platform as a Service (PaaS). Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Deploying Azure virtual machines requires Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), where you provision and manage VMs, operating systems, storage, and networking. Platform as a Service (PaaS) abstracts away the virtual machines and does not allow direct VM deployment. Therefore, the proposed solution using PaaS does not meet the goal.

Question 238

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. You are tasked with deploying Azure virtual machines for your company. You need to make use of the appropriate cloud deployment solution. Solution: You should make use of Software as a Service (SaaS). Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Deploying Azure virtual machines requires Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides control over virtual machines, operating systems, storage, and networking. Software as a Service (SaaS) only delivers fully managed applications and does not allow you to deploy or manage virtual machines. Therefore, the solution does not meet the goal.

Question 239

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's developers intend to deploy a large number of custom virtual machines on a weekly basis. They will also be removing these virtual machines during the same week it was deployed. Sixty percent of the virtual machines have Windows Server 2016 installed, while the other forty percent has Ubuntu Linux installed. You are required to make sure that the administrative effort, needed for this process, is reduced by employing a suitable Azure service. Solution: You recommend the use of Azure DevTest Labs. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Azure DevTest Labs is designed to rapidly provision and decommission development and test virtual machines with minimal administrative overhead. It supports both Windows Server and Linux VMs, enables reuse of custom images and templates, and provides automation features such as policies, quotas, and scheduled shutdowns. This aligns with the requirement to deploy and remove a large number of short-lived VMs weekly while reducing administrative effort.
