Which connection type should you use?
A. Site-to-site
B. VNet-VNet
C. ExpressRoute.
D. Site-to-peer
Answer: C
Explanation:
ExpressRoute provides even richer capabilities by allowing a dedicated MPLS connection to Azure. Reference:

Q2. You manage an Azure Web Site that is running in Shared mode.
You discover that the website is experiencing increased average response time during periods of heavy user activity.
You need to update the website configuration to address the performance issues as they occur.
What should you do?
A. Set the website to Standard mode and configure automatic scaling based on CPU utilization.
B. Configure automatic seating during specific dates.
C. Modify the website instance size.
D. Configure automatic scaling based on memory utilization.
E. Set the website to Basic mode and configure automatic scaling based on CPU utilization.
Answer: A
Explanation: Scaling to Standard Plan Mode Selecting Standard expands the Capacity section to reveal the Instance Size and Instance Count options, which are also available in Basic mode. The Edit Scale Settings for Schedule and Scale by Metric options are available only in Standard mode.
Note:
* For increased performance and throughput for your websites on Microsoft Azure, you can use the Azure Management Portal to scale your Web Hosting Plan mode from Free to Shared, Basic, or Standard.
* There are 2 options for scaling:
Based on a Schedule Based on CPU usage

Q3. You administer an Azure Web Site named contoso. You create a job named Cleanlogs.cmd that will be executed manually, twice a week.
You need to deploy the job.
To which folder location should you deploy CleanLogs.cmd?
A. ./App_Code/jobs/triggered/cleanLogs/CleanLogs.cmd
B. ./App_Data/jobs/triggered/clean Logs/CleanLogs.cmd
C. ./App_Code/jobs/continuous/cleanLogs/CleanLogs.cmd
D. ./App_Data/jobs/continuous/cleanLogs/CleanLogs.cmd
Answer: B
Explanation: A WebJob is stored under the following directory in your site:
site\wwwroot\App_Data\jobs\{job type}\{job name}
Where {job type} can be either continuous for a job that is always running or triggered for a job that starts from an external trigger (on demand / scheduler).

Q4. Your company has two physical locations configured in a geo-clustered environment that includes:
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2
System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2
SQL Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
Over 100 virtual machines (VMs) in each physical location
Your company has recently signed up for Azure.
You plan to leverage your current network environment to provide a backup solution for your VMs.
You need to recommend a solution that ensures all VMs are redundant and deployable between locations. You also want the solution to minimize downtime in the event of an outage at either physical location.
Which solution should you recommend?
A. Configure a backup vault in Azure and use Data Protection Manager to back up The Windows Servers.
B. Use Data Protection Manager and back up the VMs in each location.
C. Use Azure site recovery in an on-premises to Azure protection configuration.
D. Use Azure site recovery in an on-premises to on-premises protection configuration.
Answer: D
Explanation: On-Premises to On-Premises (Hyper-V replication)
* Cloud metadata is sent to Azure Site Recovery.
Replicated data is stored in location specified on target Hyper-V server.
* Azure account with Azure Site Recovery enabled.
* Virtual machines replicate from source on-premises Hyper-V server to another. You can set up reverse replication to replicate back to the source location.
* Requires source and target VMM servers with at least one cloud on each, or a single VMM server with two clouds. Clouds must contain at least one Hyper-V host server or cluster.

Q5. HOTSPOT
You manage two cloud services named Service1 and Service2. The development team updates the code for each application and notifies you that the services are packaged and ready for deployment.
Each cloud service has specific requirements for deployment according to the following table.
In the table below, identify the deployment method for each service. Make only one selection in each column.
Answer:
Q6. DRAG DROP
You manage two solutions in separate Azure subscriptions.
You need to ensure that the two solutions can communicate on a private network.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Q7. You administer an Azure Storage account with a blob container. You enable Storage account logging for read, write and delete requests.
You need to reduce the costs associated with storing the logs.
What should you do?
A. Execute Delete Blob requests over https.
B. Create an export job for your container.
C. Set up a retention policy.
D. Execute Delete Blob requests over http.
Answer: C
Explanation: To ease the management of your logs, we have provided the functionality of retention policy which will automatically cleanup ‘old’ logs without you being charged for the cleanup. It is recommended that you set a retention policy for logs such that your analytics data will be within the 20TB limit allowed for analytics data (logs and metrics combined).

Q8. You manage a cloud service that utilizes data encryption.
You need to ensure that the certificate used to encrypt data can be accessed by the cloud service application.
What should you do?
A. Upload the certificate referenced in the application package.
B. Deploy the certificate as part of the application package.
C. Upload the certificate's public key referenced in the application package.
D. Use RDP to install the certificate.
Answer: C
Explanation: The developer must deploy the public key with their application so that, when Windows Azure spins up role instances, it will match up the thumbprint in the service definition with the uploaded service certificate and deploy the private key to the role instance. The private key is intentionally non-exportable to the .pfx format, so you won’t be able to grab the private key through an RDC connection into a role instance.

Q9. DRAG DROP
You administer a cloud service named contosoapp that has a web role and worker role.
Contosoapp requires you to perform an in-place upgrade to the service.
You need to ensure that at least six worker role instances and eight web role instances are available when you apply upgrades to the service. You also need to ensure that updates are completed for all instances by using the least amount of time.
Which value should you use with each configuration? To answer, drag the appropriate value to the correct configuration. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
