  Explanation:

  Box 1: Azure SQL Database

  SQL Server is a relational database service. Azure SQL Database is a managed SQL Server Database in Azure. The SQL Server is managed by Microsoft; you just have access to the database.

  Box 2: Azure SQL Synapse Analytics

  Azure SQL Synapse Analytics (previously called Data Warehouse) is a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft. It is a large-scale, distributed, MPP (massively parallel processing) relational database technology in the same class of competitors as Amazon Redshift or Snowflake. Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an important component of the Modern Data Warehouse multi-platform architecture. Because Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an MPP system with a shared-nothing

  architecture across distributions, it is meant for large-scale analytical workloads which can take advantage of parallelism.

  Box 3: Azure Data Lake Analytics

  You can process big data jobs in seconds with Azure Data Lake Analytics. You can process petabytes of data for diverse workload categories such as querying, ETL, analytics, machine learning, machine translation, image processing and sentiment analysis by leveraging existing libraries written in .NET languages, R or Python.

  Box 4: Azure HDInsight.

  Apache Hadoop was the original open-source framework for distributed processing and analysis of big data sets on clusters. The Hadoop ecosystem includes related software and utilities, including Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Spark, Kafka, and many others.

  Azure HDInsight is a fully managed, full-spectrum, open-source analytics service in the cloud for enterprises. The Apache Hadoop cluster type in Azure HDInsight allows you to use HDFS, YARN resource management, and a simple MapReduce programming model to process and analyze batch data in parallel.

• Question 74:

  What can you use to automatically send an alert if an administrator stops an Azure virtual machine?

  A. Azure Advisor
  B. Azure Service Health
  C. Azure Monitor
  D. Azure Network Watcher
  C. Azure Monitor

  ---

  Azure Monitor can create Activity Log alerts on administrative actions.

  For example, when an administrator stops a VM (deallocate action), Azure Monitor can detect it and send an email, SMS, or trigger other automated actions.-This allows proactive monitoring of critical resources.

  Incorrect options:

  Azure Advisor: Provides recommendations for cost, performance, security, and reliability.

  Does not send real-time alerts for VM actions.

  Azure Service Health: Notifies about Azure service outages or planned maintenance.

  Does not alert on administrator actions.

  Azure Network Watcher: Monitors network connectivity and traffic.

  Does not track VM power state changes.

• Question 75:

  HOTSPOT

  You plan to create an Azure virtual machine.

  You need to identify which storage service must be used to store the data disks of the virtual machine.

  What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate service in the answer area.

  

  

  Explanation:

  Azure page blobs are the backbone of the virtual disks platform for Azure IaaS. Both Azure OS and data disks are implemented as virtual disks where data is durably persisted in the Azure Storage platform and then delivered to the virtual machines for maximum performance. Azure Disks are persisted in Hyper-V VHD format and stored as a page blob in Azure Storage.

• Question 76:

  You need to recommend a solution to run periodic background tasks without managing servers. What should you recommend?

  A. Azure Virtual Machines
  B. Azure Functions Timer Trigger
  C. Azure Front Door
  D. Azure Container Instances
  B. Azure Functions Timer Trigger

  ---

  Azure Functions with timer triggers run scheduled tasks in a serverless environment. Virtual Machines require server management. ACI and Front Door do not provide scheduling capability.

• Question 77:

  HOTSPOT

  Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  

  

  Explanation:

  Azure Active Directory requires the implementation of domain controllers on azure virtual machines. No

• Question 78:

  Which cloud computing benefit provides continuous user access to a cloud-based application with minimal downtime?

  A. agility
  B. scalability
  C. elasticity
  D. high availability
  D. high availability

  ---

  High availability ensures that applications are accessible continuously even during hardware or software failures.-Achieved through redundancy, failover, and load balancing. Incorrect Options: Agility: Refers to rapid development and deployment.- Does not guarantee minimal downtime.-Scalability: Refers to handling increased workloads by adding resources.- Does not ensure continuous availability.-Elasticity: Refers to dynamically adjusting resources based on demand.- Does not guarantee uptime.

• Question 80:

  Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

  After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

  You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. You sign in to the Azure portal and create a resource group named RG1.

  From Azure documentation, you have the following command that creates a virtual machine named VM1.

  az vm create --resource-group RG1 --name VM1 -- image UbuntuLTS --generate-ssh-keys

  You need to create VM1 in Subscription1 by using the command.

  Solution: From a computer that runs Windows 10, install Azure CLI. From a command prompt, sign in to Azure and then run the command.

  Does this meet the goal?

  A. Yes
  B. No
  A. Yes

  ---

  The Azure CLI `az vm create` command can be executed from a Windows 10 machine that has the Azure CLI installed.

  After installing the Azure CLI on Windows, the administrator must sign in (for example, `az login`) so the CLI runs commands against Subscription1. By default the CLI uses the currently signed-in subscription; if multiple subscriptions exist, the admin can set the target subscription with `az account set-- subscription ""`.

  The sample command `az vm create-- resource-group RG1-- name VM1-- image UbuntuLTS-- generate-ssh-keys` is valid for creating a VM in the specified resource group in the signed-in subscription.

  Therefore, installing Azure CLI on Windows 10, signing in, and running the command meets the goal of creating VM1 in Subscription1.

  Notes / additional considerations:

  If multiple subscriptions are available after sign-in, ensure the correct subscription is selected (`az account show` / `az account set`).

  Alternatively, the command can also be run from Cloud Shell (Bash or PowerShell) or any machine with the Azure CLI installed.
