Your company network has two physical locations configured in a geo-clustered environment. You
create a Blob storage account in Azure that contains all the data associated with your company.
You need to ensure that the data remains available in the event of a site outage. Which storage
option should you enable?

You manage a set of virtual machines (VMs) deployed to the cloud service named fabrikamVM.
You configure auto scaling according to the following parameters:
– With an instance range of two to six instances
– To maintain CPU usage between 70 and 80 percent To scale up one instance
at a time
– With a scale up wait time of 30 minutes
– To scale down one instance at a time
– With a scale down wait time of 30 minutes
You discover the following usage pattern of a specific application: The application peaks very
quickly, and the peak lasts for several hours. CPU usage stays above 90 percent for the first 1 to
1.5 hours after usage increases. After 1.5 hours, the CPU usage falls to about 75 percent until
application usage begins to decline. You need to modify the auto scaling configuration to scale up
faster when usage peaks. What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer
presents a complete solution.

You manage an application running on Azure Web Sites Standard tier. The application uses a
substantial amount of large image files and is used by people around the world. Users from Europe
report that the load time of the site is slow. You need to implement a solution by using Azure
services. Which two actions will achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete
solution.

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?

You administer a cloud service. You plan to host two web applications named contosoweb and
contosowebsupport. You need to ensure that you can host both applications and qualify for the
Azure Service Level Agreement. You want to achieve this goal while minimizing costs. How should
you host both applications?

Hotspot Question
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.

You administer a Windows Server virtual machine (VM). You upload the VM to Azure. You need to
ensure that you are able to deploy the BGInfo and VMAccess extensions. What should you do?

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?

Drag and Drop Question
You manage an application hosted on cloud services. The development team creates a new
version of the application. The updated application has been packaged and stored in an Azure
Storage account. You have the following requirements:
– Deploy the latest version of the application to production with the
least amount of downtime.
– Ensure that the updated application can be tested prior to deploying to
the Production site.
– Ensure that the original version of the application can be restored
until the new version is verified.
Which four steps 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.

You manage a cloud service that has a web application named WebRole1. WebRole1 writes error
messages to the Windows Event Log. Users report receiving an error page with the following
message:
“Event 26 has occurred. Contact your system administrator.”
You need to access the WebRole1 event log. Which three actions should you perform? Each
correct answer presents part of the solution.
