You administer an Azure environment that includes six Azure Resource Manager (ARM) virtual machines
(VMs) that support development. The development team uses Azure SQL databases and Azure Queues for
application storage. All Azure resources are grouped within a single subscription and resource group.
You need to reduce the recurring monthly Azure costs without degrading server performance. You mustminimize the administrative effort involved.
What should you do?

A.
Configure an auto-shutdown schedule for each VM by using the Azure Portal.

B.
Update the development environment to use Azure Table storage.

C.
Create an Azure Automation runbook that compresses unused virtual hard disk (VHD) files daily.

D.
Create an Azure PowerShell script that backs up and deprovisions all Azure SQL databases daily.

Explanation:
You can set any ARM-based Virtual Machines to auto-shutdown with a few simple clicks. This was a feature
originally available only to VMs in Azure DevTest Labs: your self-service sandbox environment in Azure to
quickly create Dev/Test environments while minimizing waste and controlling costs. In case you haven’t heard it
before, the goal for this service is to solve the problems that IT and development teams have been facing:
delays in getting a working environment, time-consuming environment configuration, production fidelity issues,
and high maintenance cost. It has been helping our customers to quickly get “ready to test” with a worry-free
self-service environment.

      I would agree if it wasn’t for this “without degrading server performance”

      The VMs support development, but it doesn’t say how.

      Azure Resource Manager (ARM) virtual machines
      (VMs) that support development. The development team uses Azure SQL databases and Azure Queues for application storage.

      So if it wasn’t for the degrading of server performance it would be fine.

      I suspect the question is worded differently, without degrading the environment or something like that.

        “without degrading server performance” I think they mean they don’t want you to lower the subscription plan (and thereby available CPU/RAM) to reduce costs. Shutting down a VM when it’s not used won’t degrade performance but saves money as you pay only for what you use. A seems to be correct.

    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
    Does the solution meet the goal?

    A. Yes
    B. No

    QUESTION 224
    You manage an on-premises server that runs Windows Server 2016. The server has a disk that contains 4 terabytes (TB) of data and thousands of files. None of the individual files are larger than 1 TB. You plan to create a virtual machine (VM) in Azure to process the workload currently handled by the on-premises server.
    You need to create a storage location for the data.
    What should you do?

    A. Create premium storage account. Use a D-series VM.
    B. Configure a StorSimple virtual array. Configure the VM to use the array with the SMB protocol.
    C. Add a new table storage account. Update the VM workload to use the table storage.
    D. Add a single le share to the VM. In the VM operating system, assign a drive letter.
