You deploy a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) named CorpWebVMSS to Azure by using Azure PowerShell
and set the instance count to 1. The VMSS includes a storage account, load balancer, public IP address. and
six Standard_A1 Windows virtual machines (VMs) that run Internet Information Services (IIS). All components
are deployed to a resource group named CorpWebRG.
You must increase the instance count to support the increased load on IIS.
You need to manually scale out the number of VMs in the scale set to 5.
Solution: You run the following command by using the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI):
azure vmss scale -g CorpWebRG -n CorpWebVMSS -c 5

CASE STUDY
Background:
You are developer for Fabrikam, a company that specializes in payment processing. Fabrikam is developing a
solution to process payments for various events, such as music concerts. You develop an ASP.NET MVC
website that is hosted in Azure to support an upcoming music concert. The music concert is expected to
generate a large volume of ticket sales in a short amount of time.
The website uploads information to an Azure storage queue. A worker role in Azure retrieves information from
the queue and generates the concert tickets in a PDF file format after the financial transaction is approved.You observe a delay between the time the website adds a message to a queue and the time it becomes
available to read from the queue. After examining the queue, you determine that no queue messages have a
DequeueCount value greater than zero. The website does not throw any errors.
Business Requirements
Payments:
The music concert website must be able to submit event payment information for processing. The website must
remain responsive while submitting payment information. Customers must be able to add notes about their
orders to a free-form control on the website. These notes must be submitted with the payment when the
customer submits an order.
Customers often enter notes that exceed 7 KB in size.
Technical Requirements
Payment Submission and Processing:
Event payment information must be sent from the website to a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
service worker role. The worker role must submit the information to the payment processor in JSON format.
Payment Processing
You have the following payment processing requirements:
If the number of messages in a queue goes above or below a specified threshold, worker role instances
must be created or deleted as needed. This process must be completed by using the least amount of effort.
It must be easy to reconfigure role instance thresholds.
Payments must be retrieved from the queue in the maximum batch sizes that are allowed by the queue and
pulled from the queue for 5 minutes.
The payment queue must not be re-created when processing payments.
During single Payment processing, the number of tickets available for an event must be updated. The
update operation must be retried for 30 seconds or 5 retry attempts, whichever occurs first. Each retry
should pause for at least two seconds and for one second longer than the previous attempt. If the update
fails, the payment should be placed in the poison queue.
Storage:
You have the following storage requirements:
Payment information must be stored by using Azure Queue storage. Connection to the Azure storage
account has been established in a configured setting namedStorageConnectionString, which is configured
for the web and worker roles.
A payment processing queue and a poison payment queue must be used when processing payments.
Azure Queue message content must be XML-safe and UTF-8 encoded.
An Azure storage account must be established for diagnostic information in a configured setting
namedDiagnosticsStorageConnectionString, which is configured for both the web and worker roles.
Security and Monitoring
Security
The web role must be secured by using HTTPS.
Monitoring
You must collect diagnostic data for both the web and worker roles by using the Diagnostics module.
Diagnostics configuration changes must not require the code of the roles to be rebuilt. The diagnostic data is
used for debugging and troubleshooting, measuring performance, monitoring resource usage, traffic analysis
and capacity planning, and auditing.
Performance testing must evaluate the roles under normal and stress conditions without incurring changes for
running Azure. Memory allocation, function time, and multithreading concurrency issues must be evaluated.
Deployment:
You purchase a custom domain name fabrikamfunding.com to host the website, web role, and worker roles.
You must deploy an HTTPS certificate with the web role, and you must update associated configuration files
accordingly.
Web role and worker role instance sizes must be specified as Medium. You must deploy one web role instancenamed FabrikamFundingPaymentGenerator, and worker role instances named
FabrikamFundingPaymentProcessor.
Application Structure:
Relevant portions of the app files are shown below. Line numbers are included for reference only and include a
two-character prefix that denotes the specific file to while they belong.

The SendMessageAsync method of the QueueManager class occasionally throws errors.
You need to correct the errors.

Background:
You are a developer for ProseWare Inc., a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides a comment
system that websites use to allow for end users to post comments associated with a webpage or topic on a
customer’s website.
Business requirements
Moderation:
The moderation of comments is a feature of the software, and usually involves the editing of a comment.
Only users who have accounts in a group in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) have the ability moderate.
External users can also become moderators, but only by explicit invitation.
Any moderation action must include the name of the moderator.
Comment navigation:
Each comment is identified by a unique string consisting of a random string of characters.Within the body of a comment, internal links to other comment threads can be specified using the link format: “/
<parent comment id> / <child comment id>”
Comment search:
Comments can be searched using Azure Search. Searches must do the following:
Searching for email addresses must match email addresses in comments.
Searching must work for the client’s language.
Internal links to other comments using the link format should be searched.
Content screening:
Comment content is screened for inappropriate language, length, and topic using content analysis. Content
must be screened, but can appear prior to be screened.
Mobile App:
The moderation functionality can be accessed using a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app named
ProsewareApp. The app includes functionality that notifies moderators when changes are made to a comment
they modified.
Export:
Customers can perform an export of all comments to a customer supplied Microsoft OneDrive folder on
demand. The export functionality is implemented as an Azure Logic App, and it must be able to be triggered by
the customer from their local network.
Interaction agents:
Interaction agents are parts of the system that interact with comment threads. The main purpose is to modify a
comment’s body based on the contents of the comment. For example, one of the agents is WikiAgent, which
adds links to Wikipedia articles when it sees text in the comment body that exactly matches a Wikipedia article
title. Interaction Agents are implemented in Service Fabric.
Interaction agents must meet the following requirements:
Only successfully process each comment once
Any errors encountered during the processing of a comment should be retried
Must run on systems that allow for custom applications to be installed
Must run in a VNet or private network space
Must be run on a system that can scale up and down based on demand
A single user’s usage of Interaction Agents must not impact other users’ usage of Interaction Agents
Technical requirements
Authentication:
ProseWare Inc. allows for user authentication through Azure AD and Twitter.
Storage:
The application runs as a Web App on Azure. Comments are stored in an Azure DocumentDB database
named “Proseware”.
Performance:
The product includes a service level agreement (SLA) for individual method performance. All data retrieval
methods must return within 100ms 99% of the time.
API:
The ProseWare Inc. API is made available to public callers using an Azure API App. Azure AD and Twitter are
the Authentication Providers.
