Q

Availability sets work by group VMs in two ways

A

Update domain: groups VMs that can be rebooted at the same time. only one domain grouping will be offline at a time. plus a 30 min gap before next domain starts to update

Fault domain: groups VMs by common power source and network switch. by default, and availability set will spilt your VMs across up to three fault domains

25
T or F You need to manage the OS in a container
False. You do not have to manage the OS containers are lightweight & designed to be created, scaled out, and stopped dynamically.
26
What is one of the most popular container engines?
Docker
27
T or F With containers you can respond to changes on demand, quickly restarting if there is a crash or hardware interruption
True
28
Azure Container Instances
are PaaS - platform as a service - upload your containers and then the service will run the containers for you
29
If you need full control of the enviornment what is the better option VM or Container?
VM
30
Azure Container Apps
similar to container instances. -easy to get up and running right away -PaaS -extra benefits - the ability to incorporate load balancing and scaling.
31
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
container orchestration service - manages the lifecycle of containers. when deploying a fleet of containers, AKS can make fleet management simpler and more efficient
32
Containers in solutions
-using micro service architecture. - break solutions into smaller independent pieces. ex. split a website into a container hosting your front end, another for the back end, and another for storage. the split allows for the sections to be maintained, scaled, or updated independently
33
Azure Functions
event driven, serves compute option that doesn't require maintaining VMs or containers.
34
Severless computing in Azure
Responsibility on managing servers is already handled for you benefits no infrastructure management scalability only pay for what you use
35
T or F Azure Functions runs your codes when its triggered and automatically deallocates resources when the function is finished
True
36
Functions can either be stateless or stateful. What's the difference?
stateless (the default) - they behave as if they're restarted every time they respond to an event stateful (called durable functions) - a context is passed through the function to track prior activity
37
Azure App Service
another hosting option other than VMs or containers - can build and host web apps, background jobs, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice
38
T or F Azure App Service supports Windows and Linux

True It supports .NET .NET Core Java Ruby Node.js PHP Python
43
Type of App Services that you can host
Web apps API apps WebJobs Mobile apps
44
App Services handle these infrastructure decisions
deployment and management endpoints can be secured sites can be scaled quickly built in load balancing and traffic manager
45
T or F Azure virtual networks and virtual subnets enable Azure resources to communicate with each other, with users on the internet, and with your on premises client computers
True
46
Azure virtual networks provide the following key networking capabilities:
isolation and segmentation internet communications communicate between azure resources communicate with on premises resources route network traffic filter network traffic connect virtual networks
47
T or F Azure virtual networking supports both public and private endpoints to communicate between external or internal resource with other internal resources
True
48
T or F Azure virtual network allows you to create multiple isolated virtual networks
True
49
T or F The IP address created in the virtual network only exists in the virtual network and isn't internet routable
True
50
How can you enable incoming connections from the internet?
by assigning a public IP address to an Azure resource or putting the resource behind a public load balancer
51
How to ensure Azure resources communicate securely with each other?
VMs Service endpoints
52
3 ways to communicate with on premises resources
Point to site Site to site Azure ExpressRoute
53
3 ways to control route network traffic
by default - routes traffic between subnets on any connect virtual networks, on premises networks, and the internet other 2 ways : route table - can create custom tables & define rules border gateway protocol (BGP) - routes to Azure virtual networks
54
How to filter network traffic between subnets
Network security groups - multiple inbound and outbound security rules can define these rules network virtual appliances - carries out a particular network function. such as a firewall or WAN
55
How to connect virtual networks together?
Virtual network peering. this allows two virtual networks to connect directly to each other. private, never entering the public internet
56
Descrive Azure virtual private networks
a VPN uses an encrypted tunnel within another network -typically deployed to connect two or more trusted private networks to one another over an untrusted network (public internet)
57
T or F With a VPN traffic is encrypted while traveling over the untrusted network
True
58
T or F VPNs can enable networks to safely and securely share sensitive information
True
59
VPN gateway
type of virtual network gateway deployed in a dedicated subnet of the virtual network
60
What to VPN gateways enable
connect on premises datacenters to virtual networks through site to site connection connect individual devices to virtual networks through point to site connection connect virtual networks to other virtual networks through a network to network connection
61
T or F - VPN gateways All data transfer is encrypted inside a private tunnel as it crosses the internet
True
62
T or F You can deploy only one VPN gateway in each virtual network
True
63
True or False You can can use one gateway to connect multiple locations, which includes other virtual networks or on premises datacenters
True
64
T or F When setting up a VPN you must specify the type of VPN
True
65
What are the two types of VPNs?
policy based route based
66
Policy based VPN
specify statically the IP address of packets that should be encrypted through each tunnel
67
Route based VPN
IPSec tunnels are modeled as a network interface or virtual interface. IP routing (either static or dynamic routing) decides which one of the tunnel interfaces to use
68
T or F Route based VPNs are the preferred connection method for on premises devices
True they're more resilient to topology changes
69
Use a route based VPN gateway for the following connectivity
connections between virtual networks point to site connections multisite connections coexistence with an Azure ExpressRoute gateway
70
4 ways to maximize the resiliency of your VPN gateway
Active/standby - default Active/active ExpressRoute failover Zone redundant gateways

74
ExpressRoute enables direct access to the following services in all regions:
Microsoft office 365 Microsoft dynamics 365 azure compute services azure cloud services
75
T or F You can enable ExpressRoute Global Reach to exchange data without transferring over the public internet
True
76
