Instructions: To Answer, select the appropriate Azure service and description.​

• Azure AI bot

• Uses past trainings to provide predictions that have high probability.

• Azure Machine Learning

• Provides a digital online assistant that provides speech support.

• Azure Functions

• Process data from millions of sensors.

• Azure IoT Hub

• Provides serverless computing functionalities.

Avery, Abigail, and Daniel are discussing Azure geography. They come across the statement: An Azure geography always corresponds to a specific country. Is the underlined portion true, or does it need to be replaced with one of the other fragments that appear below?

• corresponds to a single country or a market encompassing multiple countries.

• determines where your resources can reside.

• represents physical data centers.

• No change is needed.

Answer explanation

Although an Azure geography often aligns to a specific country, a geography can also

align to a market, such as Europe or Asia. You can host resources in any region, so geographies

by themselves do not determine where you can place resources. Geographies also

do not correspond to physical data centers, but instead contain regions in which data centers

reside.

Noah, Aria, and Samuel are discussing Azure regions. They come up with a few statements about Azure regions. Which of these statements are correct? (Choose all that apply.)

• An Azure region corresponds to a specific data center.

• An Azure region is paired with another region to help ensure high availability.

• An Azure region can span multiple countries.

• An Azure region specifies the location of Azure resources.

Answer explanation

 A region encompasses multiple data centers, so option A is not correct. Regions are paired

within an Azure geography to ensure high availability for resources in the primary region.

Although a geography might span more than one country (Europe as an example), regions are

defined within a single country, so option C is incorrect. When you deploy resources, you must

specify the target region for the resources, so in that sense regions do specify the location of Azure

resources.

Charlotte, Olivia, and Maya are discussing Azure China. They come across the following statement: 'Azure China is only available to Chinese government entities.' Is the underlined portion of the statement true, or does it need to be replaced with one of the other fragments that appear below?

• has less restrictive regulations than other Azure geographies.

• is a physically isolated instance of Azure.

• includes Azure services that are only available in China.

• No change is needed.

Answer explanation

Azure China is a physically isolated instance of Azure designed to meet very strict Chinese

regulatory requirements. The services available in Azure China are available in other Azure

regions (although not all services are available in all regions).

Charlotte, Kai, and Priya are discussing Azure regions. They come to the conclusion that an Azure region ________________.

• specifies the location of Azure resources.

• is always paired with another region.

• contains one or more data centers.

• All of the above.

Answer explanation

All the answers correctly describe Azure regions. When you create a resource, you must

specify the region in which it will reside. Regions are always paired with another at least

300 miles away in the same geography for high availability and fault tolerance. An Azure

region contains at least one data center.

Benjamin, Arjun, and Ethan are working on a project together. They need to deploy three virtual machines that will host an application. They want the VMs to reside in the same region, but they want to guard against power or other potential outages. They also need to ensure minimum latency between the instances. Which option describes a scenario that meets their requirements and is the most cost effective?

• They deploy an additional set of three VMs to a different region and use continual replication between the two regions, then fail over to the other region in the event of an outage.

• They place the VMs in separate resource groups in the same region.

• They use separate availability zones for the VMs.

• They use separate availability sets for the VMs.

Answer explanation

Availability zones are deployed across different data centers in a region, with each zone

as a separate update and fault domain. Because they are in the same region, latency is minimized.

Using replication across different regions is not correct because of the additional

latency introduced across regions and the overhead needed to manage the replication and

failover process. Resource groups are not an appropriate solution because they only provide

logical organization to your resources; they have no effect on availability or performance.

Availability sets are not an appropriate solution because the availability sets exist within the

same data center and are subject to power or other outages at that data center.

Nora, Isla, and Samuel are discussing the concept of availability sets in their cloud computing class. Which of the following statements correctly describes an availability set? (Choose all that apply.)

• Protects against power, cooling, or other physical outages but requires distribution of additional instances to other availability zones to enable rolling updates.

• Two or more VM instances deployed to the same availability set results in a 99.99 percent SLA.

• Distributes VM instances across multiple fault and update domains to guard against outages caused by a data center outage and to enable VMs to be updated without making all instances in the set unavailable.

• A and B.

Answer explanation

Achieving a 99.99 percent SLA requires that you deploy at least two instances in different

availability zones within the same region

James, Henry, and Jackson are discussing Azure resource groups. They come across the following statement: A resource group in Azure serves as a logical container for Azure resources. Is this statement true, or should it be replaced with one of the other fragments below?

• provides high availability for resources within the resource group.

• protects resources in the group from being deleted.

• contains resources only from the region in which the resource group resides.

• No change is needed.

Answer explanation

Resource groups are a logical container for Azure resources. They do not provide any

high availability features and only serve as a container. Although you can apply locks to a

resource group to prevent the resources in it from being deleted, locks are not created automatically,

so option B is incorrect. The resource group can contain resources from multiple

regions, making option C incorrect as well.

Sophia, Anika, and Aria are discussing resource groups in their study group. They come across the following statement and wonder if the underlined portion is true or if it needs to be replaced with one of the other fragments that appear below:
Applying a tag to a resource group propagates the tag to all resources contained in the group.

• prevents resources in the resource group from being deleted if the tag is a CanNotDelete tag.

• determines the actions that administrators can take on resources in the group.

• applies the tag only at the container level.

• No change is needed.

Answer explanation

Tags provide a means to help identify a resource group and apply only to the resource

group itself, not to the resources in the group, making option C the correct answer. Locks

prevent resource deletion, not tags, so option A is not correct. Tags do not control permissions

in any way, so option B is not correct.

Isla, Olivia, and Benjamin are working on a new project in Azure, and they want to deploy various resources using templates to simplify the process and ensure consistency with their existing resources. Which of the following should they use?

• Resource groups

• Azure Resource Manager

• Azure Resource Templates

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Azure Resource Manager supports the use of declarative templates to define resources for

deployment, enabling you to create a template based on existing resources, making option B

the correct answer. The new resources will be deployed to resource groups, but the resource

groups are simply logical containers used to organize your resources, making option A incorrect.

Azure Resource Templates is not an Azure service, so option C is not correct.
