Availability Zones are physically separate data centers within an Azure region, each with their own power, cooling, and networking infrastructure. By deploying virtual machines and other resources across multiple Availability Zones, you can ensure that your application remains available even in the event of a data center outage or other disruption. Availability Zones provide redundancy and isolation, which helps protect your application from both planned and unplanned downtime. Other options - Availability Sets are a feature of Microsoft Azure that help ensure that virtual machines are distributed across multiple fault domains and update domains within a single data center or region. This helps protect against hardware failures and other disruptions by ensuring that virtual machines are not all located in the same physical rack or power source. However, Availability Sets do not provide any inherent protection against data center-wide outages, which can occur due to issues such as network outages, power failures, or natural disasters. In such cases, all virtual machines in the affected data center or region may become unavailable Scale Sets is not necessarily the best choice for ensuring availability during planned maintenance events because it only provides horizontal scalability by adding or removing virtual machines based on demand, but does not inherently provide any availability benefits beyond what is provided by the underlying infrastructure. Scale Sets are a feature of Microsoft Azure that provide automatic scaling of a set of virtual machines based on demand. This helps ensure that the application can handle varying levels of traffic and usage, but does not necessarily provide inherent resiliency against planned maintenance events or other types of disruptions. Azure Container Registry is a managed private Docker registry service that enables you to store and manage container images in Azure. While it provides benefits such as secure storage, authentication, and geo-replication of container images, it is not directly related to ensuring availability during planned maintenance events.

Which of these is NOT a valid Azure resource group constraint? A Resource group can contain resources located in different regions A Resource group can contain resources that belong to different subscriptions A Resource group must be in the same region as its resources A Resource group can be used to apply consistent policies to resources using another service.
A Resource group must be in the same region as its resources The option "Resource group must be in the same region as its resources" is NOT a valid constraint for Resource Groups. While it's recommended that resources in a resource group be located in the same region for optimal performance, it's not a strict requirement. Resources in a resource group can span different regions, and this can be useful for achieving high availability and disaster recovery scenarios, as well as for optimizing data access for users in different geographic locations.
101
What is the main purpose of the Azure Pricing Calculator?
To estimate the cost of provisioning resources in Azure To estimate the cost of provisioning resources in Azure - This is the correct answer because the Azure Pricing Calculator is specifically designed to help users estimate the cost of provisioning resources in Azure. To compare the costs of running on-premises and Azure Cloud infrastructure - This option is incorrect because this function is performed by the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator, not the Pricing Calculator. To provision resources in Azure - This option is incorrect because the Pricing Calculator does not provision resources; it only provides cost estimates for resources. To provision resources, you would use the Azure Portal or other management tools. To manage the billing of your Azure account - This option is incorrect because the Pricing Calculator does not manage billing. It only provides cost estimates for resources. To manage billing, you would use the Azure Cost Management and Billing tools.

Suppose the lead architect in your company has asked your team to implement a PaaS based solution in Azure for a quick Proof-of-Concept (POC) to senior management. One of your colleagues goes ahead and creates an Azure SQL Database and an Azure Load Balancer.
No Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. PaaS includes infrastructure as servers, storage, and networking, but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. Azure SQL Databases are PaaS, that's fine. BUT: Azure Load Balancers are IaaS not PaaS!
103
An Azure subscription can trust multiple Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenants
No An Azure subscription has a trust relationship with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). A subscription trusts Azure AD to authenticate users, services, and devices. Please Note : Multiple subscriptions can trust the same Azure AD directory. Each subscription can only trust a single directory.
104
How is the cost of network traffic in Azure affected?
By geography The cost of network traffic in Azure is affected by geography. Data transfer costs can vary depending on the zones, which are geographical groupings of Azure regions for billing purposes. The cost of moving data within a region or between regions can differ, impacting the overall cost of network traffic. Other options - By the number of users: While the number of users may affect the overall amount of network traffic, the cost is not directly determined by the number of users. Instead, it is determined by the amount of data transferred and the geographical zones involved. By resource type: The cost of network traffic is related to the amount of data transferred and the zones involved, not the specific Azure resources being used. While the type of resources may have an impact on the amount of data transferred, the cost of network traffic itself is not directly influenced by the resource type. By the type of subscription: The type of subscription may affect the overall cost of Azure services, including usage allowances, but it doesn't directly determine the cost of network traffic. Network traffic costs are determined by the amount of data transferred and the geographical zones involved.

In the context of Azure subscriptions, what does an Azure free trial subscription provide? (Select all that apply)
Access to more than 25 products that are always free Access to a number of Azure products free for 12 months Credit to spend within the first 30 days of sign-up Access to a number of Azure products free for 12 months - This is correct because an Azure free trial subscription provides access to several Azure products for free during the first 12 months. Credit to spend within the first 30 days of sign-up - This is correct as the Azure free trial subscription offers credit to spend within the first 30 days after sign-up, which allows users to explore and use various Azure services during that period. Unlimited access to all Azure services - This is incorrect because the Azure free trial subscription does not provide unlimited access to all Azure services. It offers a limited set of free services, usage allowances, and credits to spend within a specified timeframe. Access to more than 25 products that are always free - This is correct because, in addition to the free services available during the trial period, the Azure free trial subscription provides access to more than 25 products that are always free, based on resource and region availability. These products can be used without any additional costs even after the trial period is over.
107

IT labor costs - Correct, the TCO calculator allows you to include assumptions about IT labor costs to help estimate the cost difference between your current environment and Azure. Subscription type - Incorrect, the TCO calculator focuses on comparing on-premises infrastructure costs with Azure Cloud infrastructure costs. Subscription type is not part of the input for the TCO calculator.
109
The composite SLA for an application replying on multiple services would be higher than the individual SLAs of the particular services
No Composite SLAs involve multiple services supporting an application, each with differing levels of availability. For example, consider an App Service web app that writes to Azure SQL Database. At the time of this writing, these Azure services have the following SLAs: App Service web apps = 99.95% SQL Database = 99.99% What is the maximum downtime you would expect for this application? If either service fails, the whole application fails. The probability of each service failing is independent, so the composite SLA for this application is 99.95% × 99.99% = 99.94%. That's LOWER than the individual SLAs, which isn't surprising because an application that relies on multiple services has more potential failure points. You can improve the composite SLA by creating independent fallback paths. For example, if SQL Database is unavailable, put transactions into a queue to be processed later.
110
Which of the following services can be used to store unstructured data in Azure?
Richtige Auswahl Azure File Storage Deine Auswahl ist richtig. Azure Blob Storage Azure Queue Storage Richtige Auswahl Azure Table Storage Gesamterklärung The Azure services that can be used to store unstructured data are: Azure Blob Storage, Azure Table Storage and Azure File Storage. Azure Table Storage can also be used to store unstructured data in Azure. Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL key-value store that can be used to store structured and semi-structured data, as well as unstructured data such as large text and binary data. Azure Table Storage allows you to store large amounts of data in a flexible schema that can evolve over time, making it a good choice for storing unstructured data that does not fit well into a fixed schema. Azure File Storage can also be used to store unstructured data in Azure. Azure File Storage is a fully managed file share service that can be used to store and share unstructured data, such as documents, media files, and logs. Azure File Storage provides the standard SMB (Server Message Block) file share protocol, which allows you to easily mount file shares from multiple VMs in the same region or across regions. This makes it a good choice for scenarios where you need to share unstructured data between multiple VMs or applications. Azure Blob Storage is a massively scalable object storage service that allows you to store and access large amounts of unstructured data, such as text and binary data, images, and videos. It's commonly used for data storage, backup and recovery, and data archiving. Incorrect - Azure Queue Storage, on the other hand, is not suitable for storing unstructured data. It is designed for reliably queuing and processing messages between different components of a distributed application, rather than for storing large amounts of unstructured data.

You want to set up a VPN connection between two Azure virtual networks that are in different regions. Which of the following VPN connection types would be best suited for this scenario?
ExpressRoute Deine Antwort ist falsch. Point-to-Site (VPN over SSL) VNet-to-VNet (IPsec) Richtige Antwort Site-to-Site (IPsec) Gesamterklärung The correct answer Site-to-Site (IPsec). Site-to-Site (IPsec) VPN connection type is used to connect two or more virtual networks that are in different regions, data centers, or even different cloud providers. It allows you to connect an on-premises network or a branch office network to an Azure virtual network, or to connect two Azure virtual networks that are in different regions. Site-to-Site VPN connections use a VPN gateway to provide a secure connection over the Internet. IPsec is the protocol used to secure the VPN connection. Other options: VNet-to-VNet (IPsec): This is not the best choice for this scenario because it is designed to connect two virtual networks within the same region. It creates an IPsec tunnel between the two virtual networks, allowing resources to communicate securely and privately over the Microsoft backbone network. Since the two virtual networks in this scenario are in different regions, VNet-to-VNet (IPsec) would not be the most efficient or cost-effective option. Point-to-Site (VPN over SSL): This is used to connect individual devices to an Azure virtual network over a VPN connection. It is not suitable for connecting virtual networks in different regions. ExpressRoute: This is a private connection between an on-premises infrastructure and an Azure data center. It provides dedicated, high-speed connectivity between your network and Azure, but it is not suitable for connecting virtual networks in different regions.

How does Azure Blueprints help in monitoring deployments?
By automatically suspending resources when they reach a certain cost threshold Richtige Antwort By preserving the relationship between blueprint definition and blueprint assignment By sending email notifications when a deployment reaches a certain milestone Deine Antwort ist falsch. By providing real-time monitoring of resource usage Gesamterklärung Azure Blueprints helps in monitoring deployments by preserving the relationship between the blueprint definition (what should be deployed) and the blueprint assignment (what was deployed). This connection allows you to track and audit your deployments effectively. Other options: Azure Blueprints doesn't provide real-time monitoring of resource usage. It focuses on standardizing and automating environment deployments based on predefined configurations. Automatically suspending resources when they reach a certain cost threshold is not a function of Azure Blueprints. It is more related to cost management features like budgets and cost alerts. Sending email notifications when a deployment reaches a certain milestone is not a feature specific to Azure Blueprints. This could be achieved through other Azure services or custom monitoring solutions.
127
If your application experiences sudden high demand, what type of scaling would involve adding more virtual machines or containers?
Static scaling Deine Antwort ist falsch. Vertical scaling Downscaling Richtige Antwort Horizontal scaling Gesamterklärung From the official docs: Horizontal scaling With horizontal scaling, if you suddenly experienced a steep jump in demand, your deployed resources could be scaled out (either automatically or manually). For example, you could add additional virtual machines or containers, scaling out. In the same manner, if there was a significant drop in demand, deployed resources could be scaled in (either automatically or manually), scaling in. Vertical scaling With vertical scaling, if you were developing an app and you needed more processing power, you could vertically scale up to add more CPUs or RAM to the virtual machine. Conversely, if you realized you had over-specified the needs, you could vertically scale down by lowering the CPU or RAM specifications.

_______________ copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. For applications requiring high availability.
Deine Antwort ist falsch. Locally redundant storage (LRS) Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) Richtige Antwort Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) Planet-redundant storage (PRS) Gesamterklärung From the Official Azure Documentation: Data in an Azure Storage account is always replicated three times in the primary region. Azure Storage offers two options for how your data is replicated in the primary region: Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. LRS is the least expensive replication option, but isn't recommended for applications requiring high availability or durability. Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. For applications requiring high availability, Microsoft recommends using ZRS in the primary region, and also replicating to a secondary region. Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) combines the high availability provided by redundancy across availability zones with protection from regional outages provided by geo-replication. Data in a GZRS storage account is copied across three Azure availability zones in the primary region and is also replicated to a secondary geographic region for protection from regional disasters.

All resources in a VNet can communicate outbound to the internet, by default.
Yes Azure Virtual Network (VNet) is the fundamental building block for your private network in Azure. VNet enables many types of Azure resources, such as Azure Virtual Machines (VM), to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks. VNet is similar to a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, but brings with it additional benefits of Azure's infrastructure such as scale, availability, and isolation. All resources in a VNet can communicate outbound to the internet, by default. You can communicate inbound to a resource by assigning a public IP address or a public Load Balancer. You can also use public IP or public Load Balancer to manage your outbound connections. To learn more about outbound connections in Azure, see Outbound connections, Public IP addresses, and Load Balancer.

It is possible to have multiple Subscriptions inside a Management Group.
Yes When you define your management group hierarchy, first create the root management group. Then move all existing subscriptions in the directory into the root management group. New subscriptions always go into the root management group initially. Later, you can move them to another management group. What happens when you move a subscription to an existing management group? The subscription inherits the policies and role assignments from the management group hierarchy above it. Establish many subscriptions for your Azure workloads. Then create other subscriptions to contain Azure services that other subscriptions share. Do you expect your Azure environment to grow? Then create management groups for production and nonproduction now, and apply appropriate policies and access controls at the management group level. As you add new subscriptions to each management group, those subscriptions inherit the appropriate controls.

______________ allows you to implement your system's logic into readily available blocks of code that can run anytime you need to respond to critical events.
Azure Functions Azure Functions is a serverless solution that allows you to write less code, maintain less infrastructure, and save on costs. Instead of worrying about deploying and maintaining servers, the cloud infrastructure provides all the up-to-date resources needed to keep your applications running. You focus on the pieces of code that matter most to you, and Azure Functions handles the rest. Azure Functions provides "compute on-demand" in two significant ways. First, Azure Functions allows you to implement your system's logic into readily available blocks of code. These code blocks are called "functions". Different functions can run anytime you need to respond to critical events. Second, as requests increase, Azure Functions meets the demand with as many resources and function instances as necessary - but only while needed. As requests fall, any extra resources and application instances drop off automatically.

Which of the following is the correct hierarchy for the Azure levels of scope? Management Group --> Resource Group --> Subscription Subscription --> Resource Group --> Management Group Resource Group --> Management Group --> Subscription Management Group --> Subscription --> Resource Group Subscription --> Management Group --> Resource Group
Management Group --> Subscription --> Resource Group Azure provides four levels of scope: management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources. The following image shows an example of these layers. Though not labeled as such, the blue cubes are resources. You apply management settings at any of these levels of scope. The level you select determines how widely the setting is applied. Lower levels inherit settings from higher levels. For example, when you apply a policy to the subscription, the policy is applied to all resource groups and resources in your subscription. When you apply a policy on the resource group, that policy is applied to the resource group and all its resources. However, another resource group doesn't have that policy assignment. You can deploy templates to management groups, subscriptions, or resource groups.

security posture The objective of defense in depth is to protect information and prevent it from being stolen by those who aren't authorized to access it. A defense-in-depth strategy uses a series of mechanisms to slow the advance of an attack that aims at acquiring unauthorized access to data. Your security posture is your organization's ability to protect from and respond to security threats. The common principles used to define a security posture are confidentiality, integrity, and availability, known collectively as CIA. Confidentiality The principle of least privilege means restricting access to information only to individuals explicitly granted access, at only the level that they need to perform their work. This information includes protection of user passwords, email content, and access levels to applications and underlying infrastructure. Integrity Prevent unauthorized changes to information: At rest: when it's stored. In transit: when it's being transferred from one place to another, including from a local computer to the cloud. A common approach used in data transmission is for the sender to create a unique fingerprint of the data by using a one-way hashing algorithm. The hash is sent to the receiver along with the data. The receiver recalculates the data's hash and compares it to the original to ensure that the data wasn't lost or modified in transit. Availability Ensure that services are functioning and can be accessed only by authorized users. Denial-of-service attacks are designed to degrade the availability of a system, affecting its users.

Which cloud benefit allows you to rapidly deploy applications or systems across multiple regions or locations? Fault tolerance Scalability Geographic distribution Elasticity
Geographic distribution One of the major benefits of cloud computing is the ability to quickly and easily deploy applications or systems across multiple regions or locations. This is often referred to as geographic distribution, and it allows organizations to better serve customers in different regions by providing faster response times and reduced latency. For example, imagine a company that has customers in both North America and Europe. By using a cloud provider's infrastructure, the company can deploy its application in data centers located in both regions, allowing customers to access the application with minimal latency. Additionally, if one data center experiences an outage or other issue, the application can fail over to another data center, ensuring that customers are still able to access the application without interruption. This is an example of the fault tolerance aspect of cloud computing. Scalability is incorrect because scalability refers to the ability to increase or decrease resources as needed to meet changing demands, but it does not necessarily enable rapid deployment across multiple locations. Fault tolerance is incorrect because fault tolerance refers to the ability of a system to continue operating in the event of a hardware or software failure. While fault tolerance is important for ensuring system availability, it does not necessarily enable rapid deployment across multiple locations. Elasticity is incorrect because elasticity refers to the ability to automatically adjust resources in response to changing demand. While elasticity is related to scalability, it does not necessarily enable rapid deployment across multiple locations. Geographic distribution is the correct answer because it refers to the ability to deploy applications or systems across multiple regions or locations, which can help improve performance, reduce latency, and provide redundancy in case of a disaster or outage.

Which of the following can be leveraged for transferring data to the cloud such as cloud archival, disaster recovery, or if there is a need to process your data at cloud scale? Azure Sentinel Azure CosmosDB Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 Azure Data Box Gateway Azure Arc Azure File Sync
Azure Data Box Gateway Azure Data Box Gateway is a storage solution that enables you to seamlessly send data to Azure. This article provides you an overview of the Azure Data Box Gateway solution, benefits, key capabilities, and the scenarios where you can deploy this device. Data Box Gateway is a virtual device based on a virtual machine provisioned in your virtualized environment or hypervisor. The virtual device resides in your premises and you write data to it using the NFS and SMB protocols. The device then transfers your data to Azure block blob, page blob, or Azure Files. Use cases: Data Box Gateway can be leveraged for transferring data to the cloud such as cloud archival, disaster recovery, or if there is a need to process your data at cloud scale. Here are the various scenarios where Data Box Gateway can be used for data transfer. Cloud archival - Copy hundreds of TBs of data to Azure storage using Data Box Gateway in a secure and efficient manner. The data can be ingested one time or an ongoing basis for archival scenarios. Continuous data ingestion - Continuously ingest data into the device to copy to the cloud, regardless of the data size. As the data is written to the gateway device, the device uploads the data to Azure Storage. Initial bulk transfer followed by incremental transfer - Use Data Box for the bulk transfer in an offline mode (initial seed) and Data Box Gateway for incremental transfers (ongoing feed) over the network.
205
You have a workload in Blob Storage that processes large datasets that need to be stored in a cost-effective way, while additional data is being gathered for processing. Which of the following Access Tiers would make the most sense? Hot Efficient Luke Warm Cool Archive
Cool The keyword here is 'cost-effective'. When your data is stored in an online access tier (either Hot or Cool), users can access it immediately. The Hot tier is the best choice for data that is in active use, while the Cool tier is ideal for data that is accessed less frequently, but that still must be available for reading and writing. Example usage scenarios for the Hot tier include: Data that's in active use or is expected to be read from and written to frequently. Data that's staged for processing and eventual migration to the Cool access tier. Usage scenarios for the Cool access tier include: Short-term data backup and disaster recovery. Older data sets that aren't used frequently, but are expected to be available for immediate access. Large data sets that need to be stored in a cost-effective way while additional data is being gathered for processing.

What is a key security feature of Azure Data Box devices that ensures data is unreadable if intercepted during the shipping process? Firewall protection Multi-factor authentication Data transfer over HTTPS Data-at-rest encryption
Data-at-rest encryption The correct answer is : Data-at-rest encryption. This is a key security feature of Azure Data Box devices that ensures data is unreadable if intercepted during the shipping process. Data-at-rest encryption ensures that data is encrypted when it is stored on the device, making it impossible for anyone to access the data without the encryption key. This is an important security measure that protects against data theft or loss during the shipping process. Other options: Firewall protection: This is incorrect because it refers to a network security measure that protects against unauthorized access to a network, but it is not directly related to the security of data during the shipping process. Multi-factor authentication: This is also incorrect because it is a security measure that verifies a user's identity using multiple methods, such as a password and a fingerprint or a security token. This is not directly related to the security of data during the shipping process. Data transfer over HTTPS: This is incorrect because it refers to a network protocol that encrypts data during transmission between a web server and a client, but it does not protect data during the shipping process.
219
All data that is copied to an Azure storage account is backed up automatically to another Azure data center. (Y/N)
No Automatically is the key word in this question that most people miss. Data is not backed up automatically to another Azure Data Center, although it can be backed up depending on the replication option configured for the account. Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) is the default which maintains three copies of the data in the data center. Geo-redundant storage (GRS) has cross-regional replication to protect against regional outages. Data is replicated synchronously three times in the primary region, then replicated asynchronously to the secondary region.

Which of the following is a way that Azure AD Identity Protection helps to protect against identity-based attacks? By enforcing strong passwords for all users By automatically blocking all sign-in attempts from high-risk IP addresses By monitoring users' device health and security posture By requiring all users to use multi-factor authentication
By monitoring users' device health and security posture Azure AD Identity Protection uses various signals, including device health and security posture, to detect identity-based attacks and suspicious activities. By monitoring these factors, it can assess the risk level of a user's sign-in attempt or activity and take appropriate action, such as requiring additional authentication or blocking access. Note that Azure AD Identity Protection is not a replacement for strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, or other security measures. Instead, it is an additional layer of security that helps to protect against identity-based attacks. By enforcing strong passwords for all users: This is incorrect because enforcing strong passwords is not a specific feature of Azure AD Identity Protection, but rather a general best practice for secure password management. By automatically blocking all sign-in attempts from high-risk IP addresses: This is incorrect because Azure AD Identity Protection does not automatically block sign-in attempts based on IP address, but instead uses a risk-based approach to evaluate sign-in attempts and assess the level of risk. By requiring all users to use multi-factor authentication: This is incorrect because although Azure AD Identity Protection supports multi-factor authentication, it is not the only method used to protect against identity-based attacks.

Your company has a policy that requires all Azure resources to be deployed with a specific set of tags. You want to ensure that this mandate is enforced automatically for all new resources deployed in your Azure environment. Which Azure service should you use to accomplish this? Azure Advisor Azure Resource Manager Azure Security Center Azure Policy
Azure Policy Azure Policy is the Azure service used to enforce policies for resource consistency and compliance. It allows administrators to create and enforce policies that ensure resources deployed in Azure adhere to specific rules, such as the requirement to have a specific set of tags. Azure Policy can evaluate resources against these policies and, if necessary, take actions to remediate non-compliant resources. In this scenario, Azure Policy can be used to automatically enforce the policy that requires all resources to be deployed with a specific set of tags.
234
An unlimited number of resources can be added to a Subscription.
False At the beginning of any cloud governance implementation, you identify a cloud organization structure that meets your business needs. This step often involves forming a cloud center of excellence team (also called a cloud enablement team or a cloud custodian team). This team is empowered to implement governance practices from a centralized location for the entire organization. Teams often start their Azure governance strategy at the subscription level. Subscriptions also have some resource limitations. For example, the maximum number of network Azure ExpressRoute circuits per subscription is 10. Those limits should be considered during your design phase. If you'll need to exceed those limits, you might need to add more subscriptions. If you hit a hard limit maximum, there's no flexibility to increase it. Management groups are also available to assist with managing subscriptions. A management group manages access, policies, and compliance across multiple Azure subscriptions. You'll learn more about management groups later in this module.

Azure Reserved VM Instances are an example of Opex.
No A reserved instance is where you pay upfront for the use of a virtual machine for a period of time (1 or 3 years). This can save you money as you receive a discount on the cost of a VM if you pay upfront for a reserved instance. However, as this is an upfront payment, it will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx. Simple way to remember : Upfront payment = Capex, Pay as you go = Opex!

True or False: Data stored in an Azure Storage account is automatically copied twice.
False Azure Storage offers multiple redundancy options, including locally redundant storage (LRS), zone-redundant storage (ZRS), geo-redundant storage (GRS), and read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS). LRS and ZRS provide redundancy within a datacenter or within a single zone, respectively, and create three copies of the data. GRS and RA-GRS provide additional redundancy across multiple datacenters or regions, respectively, and create six copies of the data (three copies in the primary region and three copies in the secondary region). However, none of these redundancy options provide only two copies of the data by default.
243
Which of the following is a factor that Azure AD Identity Protection uses to assess the risk level of a user's sign-in attempt or activity? The user's physical location The user's email address The user's job title The user's device health and security posture.
The user's device health and security posture The correct answer is - The user's device health and security posture is one of the factors that Azure AD Identity Protection uses to assess the risk level of a user's sign-in attempt or activity. Azure AD Identity Protection uses machine learning algorithms and various risk factors, such as device health and security posture, to identify potential risks and take appropriate action to protect the user's identity and the organization's resources.
244
Which of the following statements regarding Azure subscriptions are correct? Billing is applied to each subscription separately Multiple subscriptions cannot be created within an Azure account Azure subscription cannot have a trust relationship with an Azure Active Directory (AD) instance Trial subscription can be converted to paid Subscription is dependent on a region
Billing is applied to each subscription separately Trial subscription can be converted to paid Subscription is dependent on a region Billing is applied to each subscription separately - Yes! It is one of the many reasons why people use separate subscriptions. Trial subscription can be converted to paid - Of course. When you sign up for an Azure free account, you get $200 credit. In the first 30 days, any services you use beyond their free amounts will be deducted from that $200 credit. When you’ve used up your $200 credit or 30 days have passed (whichever happens first), you’ll need to upgrade by moving to pay-as-you-go pricing. That way, you can keep getting free amounts of services and purchase services beyond their free amounts as needed. The cost of those services is charged to the payment method you provide. Subscription is dependent on a region - Yes, when you create a subscription in Azure, you need to specify a certain region for that Subscription. Hence, this choice is valid as well. All other options are invalid and don't stand true.

What is the purpose of the Azure AD Identity Protection dashboard? To allow administrators to manage users' authentication methods. To enable administrators to manage and investigate risk events. To provide an overview of all users' activity logs. To show a summary of the risk level of all users.
To enable administrators to manage and investigate risk events. The purpose of the Azure AD Identity Protection dashboard is to provide administrators with a centralized view of all risky sign-ins, vulnerabilities, and compromised identities. It allows administrators to investigate and manage risk events by providing detailed information about the users, devices, and applications involved in the event. The dashboard also provides recommendations to improve the security posture of the organization, such as enabling multi-factor authentication for at-risk users. To provide an overview of all users' activity logs: This is incorrect because the Azure AD Identity Protection dashboard focuses on risk events, not activity logs. To allow administrators to manage users' authentication methods: This is incorrect because managing users' authentication methods is a separate function that is not part of the Azure AD Identity Protection dashboard. To show a summary of the risk level of all users: This is incorrect because while the dashboard provides a risk score for each user, its primary purpose is to enable administrators to investigate and manage risk events, not to provide a summary of the risk level of all users.
