Week1,2

You are responsible for an IT project that encompasses moving an application, its dependencies, and data into the cloud. The application and its underlying data use modern frameworks and storage techniques. Which Microsoft cloud service should you use?

• SharePoint Online

• Microsoft Graph

• Microsoft Azure

• Microsoft Teams

Answer explanation

Microsoft Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud services to help your organization meet your business challenges. It is a complete cloud platform that can host your existing applications and streamline new application development. It can even enhance on-premises applications. It integrates the cloud services that you need to develop, test, deploy, and manage your applications, all while taking advantage of the efficiencies of cloud computing.

SharePoint Online is a service that administrators and workers can use to create websites for document management, distribution, and collaboration.

ou are considering moving some workloads to the cloud. What are the three main types of cloud computing services?

choose 3

• Windows as a Service (WaaS)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Software as a Service (SaaS)

Answer explanation

Cloud computing types are service deployment models that let you choose the level of control over your information and the types of services you need to provide. There are three main types of cloud computing services, sometimes called the cloud computing stack because they are built on top of one another:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is used for Internet-based access to storage and computing power.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) gives developers the tools to build and host web applications.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is used for web-based applications.

Answer A is incorrect. The Windows as a Service update program provides Windows 10 workstations with regularly scheduled features and quality updates that are automatically applied. It eliminates the version upgrades. Instead, there are feature updates twice a year and quality updates at least every month.

What are the benefits of a consumption-based model?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

• You stop paying when you no longer need resources.

• You pay for additional resources as needed.

• You pay for everything upfront and consume as required.

• You have no requirement to purchase or manage infrastructure.

Answer explanation

Cloud service providers operate on a consumption-based model, which means that end users only pay for the resources they use. Here are the benefits of a consumption-based model:

No upfront costs.

No need to purchase and manage the costly infrastructure that they may or may not use to its fullest.

he ability to pay for additional resources when they are needed.

he ability to stop paying for resources that are no longer needed.

Question :Which Microsoft cloud service is designed to make you and your business more productive with Office applications, intelligent cloud, and world-class security?

• Microsoft Azure

• Exchange Online

• Microsoft Teams

Answer explanation

Microsoft 365 is designed to help you achieve more with innovative Office apps, intelligent cloud services, and world-class security. Microsoft 365 is a productivity cloud for work and life.

Answer B is incorrect. Exchange Online is a cloud-based implementation of Microsoft’s flagship messaging and collaboration server product. It uses shared servers in Microsoft data centers to host the mailboxes and other services for multiple subscribers.

Answer A is incorrect.

Answer C is incorrect. Microsoft Teams is a multiplatform collaboration tool that enables users to communicate and work together in real time, using document libraries, group and private chats, scheduled and unscheduled meetings, and audio/video calls.

Your cloud provider can acquire hardware at a lower cost. Cloud providers can also make deals with local governments and utilities to get tax savings, lowering the price of power, cooling, and high-speed network connectivity between sites. Cloud providers are then able to pass on these benefits to end users in the form of lower prices than what you could achieve on your own. What is this principle of cloud computing called?

• Pricing elasticity

• Economies of scale

• Enterprise buying power

• Microsoft Advantage

Answer explanation

Economies of scale are the capability to do things more efficiently or at a lower cost per unit when operating at a larger scale. This cost advantage is an important benefit of adopting cloud computing.

Answer D is incorrect. Microsoft Advantage is a program that allows users to install Microsoft Office software for free on their personal computers. It provides access to Office 365 ProPlus. It is being offered through users' Microsoft Office 365 accounts.

Answer A is incorrect. Pricing elasticity is a measure of how reactive the marketplace is to a change in price for a given product.

Answer C is incorrect. Enterprise buying power is the money that an enterprise has available to purchase securities.
