Q2. - (Topic 6)
You are designing an Azure web application. The application uses one worker role. It does not use SQL Database. You have the following requirements:
. Maximize throughput and system resource availability
. Minimize downtime during scaling
You need to recommend an approach for scaling the application.
Which approach should you recommend?
A. Increase the role instance size.
B. Set up horizontal partitioning.
C. Increase the number of role instances.
D. Set up vertical partitioning.
Answer: C
Explanation: On the Scale page of the Azure Management Portal, you can manually scale your application or you can set parameters to automatically scale it. You can scale applications that are running Web Roles, Worker Roles, or Virtual Machines. To scale an application that is running instances of Web Roles or Worker Roles, you add or remove role instances to accommodate the work load.

Q4. - (Topic 6)
An application currently resides on an on-premises virtual machine that has 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 20 GB of hard disk space, and a 10 megabit/second network connection.
You plan to migrate the application to Azure. You have the following requirements:
You must not make changes to the application.
You must minimize the costs for hosting the application.
You need to recommend the appropriate virtual machine instance type.
Which virtual machine tier should you recommend?
A. Network Optimized (A Series)
B. General Purpose Compute, Basic Tier (A Series)
C. General Purpose Compute, Standard Tier (A Series)
D. Optimized Compute (D Series)
Answer: B
Explanation: General purpose compute: Basic tier An economical option for development workloads, test servers, and other applications that don't require load balancing, auto-scaling, or memory-intensive virtual machines.
CPU core range: 1-8 RAM range: 0.75 – 14 GB Disk size: 20-240 GB

Q5. HOTSPOT - (Topic 6)
A company uses Azure for several virtual machine (VM) and website workloads. The company plans to assign administrative roles to a specific group of users. You have a resource group named GROUP1 and a virtual machine named VM2.
The users have the following responsibilities:

Q6. - (Topic 6)
You are designing an Azure application that will use a worker role. The worker role will create temporary files.
You need to minimize storage transaction charges.
Where should you create the files?
A. In Azure local storage
B. In Azure Storage page blobs
C. On an Azure Drive
D. In Azure Storage block blobs
Answer: A
Explanation: Local storage is temporary in Azure. So, if the virtual machine supporting your role dies and cannot recover, your local storage is lost! Therefore, Azure developers will tell you, only volatile data should ever be stored in local storage of Azure.
