Box1: User management occurs on-premises. Azure AD authenticates employees by using on-premises
passwords.

Azure AD Domain Services for hybrid organizations


Organizations with a hybrid IT infrastructure consume a mix of cloud resources and on-premises
resources. Such organizations synchronize identity information from their on-premises directory to their
Azure AD tenant. As hybrid organizations look to migrate more of their on-premises applications to the
cloud, especially legacy directory-aware applications, Azure AD Domain Services can be useful to them.

Example: Litware Corporation has deployed Azure AD Connect, to synchronize identity information from
their on-premises directory to their Azure AD tenant. The identity information that is synchronized includes
user accounts, their credential hashes for authentication (password hash sync) and group memberships.

User accounts, group memberships, and credentials from Litware's on-premises directory are synchronized
to Azure AD via Azure AD Connect. These user accounts, group memberships, and credentials are
automatically available within the managed domain.

Box 2: User management occurs on-premises. The on-promises domain controller authenticates employee
credentials.
You can federate your on-premises environment with Azure AD and use this federation for authentication
and authorization. This sign-in method ensures that all user authentication occurs on-premises.

You are designing a microservices architecture that will be hosted in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
cluster. Apps that will consume the microservices will be hosted on Azure virtual machines. The virtual
machines and the AKS cluster will reside on the same virtual network.

You need to design a solution to expose the microservices to the consumer apps. The solution must meet
the following requirements:

Ingress access to the microservices must be restricted to a single private IP address and protected by
using mutual TLS authentication.
The number of incoming microservice calls must be rate-limited.
Costs must be minimized.

Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
One option is to deploy APIM (API Management) inside the cluster VNet.
The AKS cluster and the applications that consume the microservices might reside within the same VNet,
hence there is no reason to expose the cluster publicly as all API traffic will remain within the VNet. For
these scenarios, you can deploy API Management into the cluster VNet. API Management Premium tier
supports VNet deployment.

Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

Box 1: Create a system-assigned Managed Identities for Azure resource


The managed identities for Azure resources feature in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) feature provides
Azure services with an automatically managed identity in Azure AD. You can use the identity to
authenticate to any service that supports Azure AD authentication, including Key Vault, without any
credentials in your code.

A system-assigned managed identity is enabled directly on an Azure service instance. When the identity is
enabled, Azure creates an identity for the instance in the Azure AD tenant that's trusted by the subscription
of the instance. After the identity is created, the credentials are provisioned onto the instance.

Box 2: An Azure Instance Metadata Service Identity


See step 3 and 5 below.

How a system-assigned managed identity works with an Azure VM


1. Azure Resource Manager receives a request to enable the system-assigned managed identity on a VM.
2. Azure Resource Manager creates a service principal in Azure AD for the identity of the VM. The service
principal is created in the Azure AD tenant that's trusted by the subscription.
3. Azure Resource Manager configures the identity on the VM by updating the Azure Instance Metadata
Service identity endpoint with the service principal client ID and certificate.
4. After the VM has an identity, use the service principal information to grant the VM access to Azure
resources. To call Azure Resource Manager, use role-based access control (RBAC) in Azure AD to
assign the appropriate role to the VM service principal. To call Key Vault, grant your code access to the
specific secret or key in Key Vault.

e-work
5. Your code that's running on the VM can request a token from the Azure Instance Metadata service
endpoint, accessible only from within the VM

A: The Conditional Access feature in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) offers one of several ways that you
can use to secure your app and protect a service. Conditional Access enables developers and enterprise
customers to protect services in a multitude of ways including:
Multi-factor authentication
Allowing only Intune enrolled devices to access specific services
Restricting user locations and IP ranges

Conditional Access policies are powerful tools, we recommend excluding the following accounts from your
policy:
Service accounts and service principals.
If your organization has these accounts in use in scripts or code, consider replacing them with managed
identities.

Incorrect Answers:
B: Managed Identity does not support cross-directory scenarios.

E: Application security groups enable you to configure network security as a natural extension of an
application’s structure, allowing you to group virtual machines and define network security policies based
on those groups.

Note: The correct options should be application registration with Azure, this will allow the authentication of
users on the AD to access the application. A default application registration validates that the user has valid
login credentials. This can be your Active Directory or in case of a multi-tenant application the directory
where the user is originated from.

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you can create complex attribute-based rules to enable dynamic
memberships for groups. Dynamic group membership reduces the administrative overhead of adding and
removing users.

When any attributes of a user or device change, the system evaluates all dynamic group rules in a directory
to see if the change would trigger any group adds or removes. If a user or device satisfies a rule on a
group, they are added as a member of that group. If they no longer satisfy the rule, they are removed.

Box 1: Web applications


The Authorization Code Grant Type is used by both web apps and native apps to get an access token after
a user authorizes an app.

Note: The Authorization Code grant type is used by confidential and public clients to exchange an
authorization code for an access token.

After the user returns to the client via the redirect URL, the application will get the authorization code from
the URL and use it to request an access token.

Incorrect Answers:
Not Headless device authentication:
A headless system is a computer that operates without a monitor, graphical user interface (GUI) or
peripheral devices, such as keyboard and mouse.

Headless computers are usually embedded systems in various devices or servers in multi-server data
center environments. Industrial machines, automobiles, medical equipment, cameras, household
appliances, airplanes, vending machines and toys are among the myriad possible hosts of embedded
systems.

Box 2: Client Credentials


How to include additional client data
In case you need to store additional details about a client that don't fit into the standard parameter set the
custom data parameter comes to help:

POST /c2id/clients HTTP/1.1

"data" : { "reg_type" : "3rd-party",
"approved" : true,
"author_id" : 792440 }
}
The data parameter permits arbitrary content packaged in a JSON object. To set it you will need the master
registration token or a one-time access token with a client-reg:data scope.

Incorrect Answers:
Authorization protocols provide a state parameter that allows you to restore the previous state of your
application. The state parameter preserves some state object set by the client in the Authorization request
and makes it available to the client in the response.

ExpressRoute has been deployed and configured for on-premises to Azure connectivity.

Several VMs are exhibiting network connectivity issues.

You need to analyze the network traffic to determine whether packets are being allowed or denied to the
VMs.

Solution: Use Azure Network Watcher to run IP flow verify to analyze the network traffic.

Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Correct Answer: A
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Network Watcher Network performance monitor is a cloud-based hybrid network monitoring solution
that helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure. It also
helps you monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints and monitor the performance
of Azure ExpressRoute.

Note:
IP flow verify checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from a virtual machine. The information consists
of direction, protocol, local IP, remote IP, local port, and remote port. If the packet is denied by a security
group, the name of the rule that denied the packet is returned. While any source or destination IP can be
chosen, IP flow verify helps administrators quickly diagnose connectivity issues from or to the internet and
from or to the on-premises environment.

e-work
IP flow verify looks at the rules for all Network Security Groups (NSGs) applied to the network interface,
such as a subnet or virtual machine NIC. Traffic flow is then verified based on the configured settings to or
from that network interface. IP flow verify is useful in confirming if a rule in a Network Security Group is
blocking ingress or egress traffic to or from a virtual machine.

Box 1: Smart lockout


Smart lockout helps lock out bad actors that try to guess your users' passwords or use brute-force methods
to get in. Smart lockout can recognize sign-ins that come from valid users and treat them differently than
ones of attackers and other unknown sources. Attackers get locked out, while your users continue to
access their accounts and be productive.

Box 2: Conditional access policies


If your environment is ready to block legacy authentication to improve your tenant's protection, you can
accomplish this goal with Conditional Access.

How can you prevent apps using legacy authentication from accessing your tenant's resources? The
recommendation is to just block them with a Conditional Access policy. If necessary, you allow only certain
users and specific network locations to use apps that are based on legacy authentication.

Archive tier. These tiers target data at different stages of its lifecycle and offer cost-effective storage
options for different use cases.

Box 2: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)


Data in an Azure Storage account is always replicated three times in the primary region. Azure Storage
offers two options for how your data is replicated in the primary region:
Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in
the primary region.
Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical
location in the primary region. LRS is the least expensive replication option, but is not recommended for
applications requiring high availability.

Overview

Contoso, Ltd, is a US-based financial services company that has a main office in New York and a branch
office in San Francisco.

Existing Environment. Payment Processing System

Contoso hosts a business-critical payment processing system in its New York data center. The system has
three tiers: a front-end web app, a middle-tier web API, and a back-end data store implemented as a
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 database. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.

The front-end and middle-tier components are hosted by using Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS). The application code is written in C# and ASP.NET. The middle-tier API uses the Entity Framework to
communicate to the SQL Server database. Maintenance of the database is performed by using SQL Server
Agent jobs.

The database is currently 2 TB and is not expected to grow beyond 3 TB.

The payment processing system has the following compliance-related requirements:

Encrypt data in transit and at rest. Only the front-end and middle-tier components must be able to
access the encryption keys that protect the data store.
Keep backups of the data in two separate physical locations that are at least 200 miles apart and can
be restored for up to seven years.
Support blocking inbound and outbound traffic based on the source IP address, the destination IP
address, and the port number.
Collect Windows security logs from all the middle-tier servers and retain the logs for a period of seven
years.
Inspect inbound and outbound traffic from the front-end tier by using highly available network
appliances.
Only allow all access to all the tiers from the internal network of Contoso.

Tape backups are configured by using an on-premises deployment of Microsoft System Center Data
Protection Manager (DPM), and then shipped offsite for long term storage.

Existing Environment. Historical Transaction Query System

Contoso recently migrated a business-critical workload to Azure. The workload contains a .NET web

e-work
service for querying the historical transaction data residing in Azure Table Storage. The .NET web service
is accessible from a client app that was developed in-house and runs on the client computers in the New
York office. The data in the table storage is 50 GB and is not expected to increase.

Existing Environment. Current Issues

The Contoso IT team discovers poor performance of the historical transaction query system, as the queries
frequently cause table scans.

Requirements. Planned Changes

Contoso plans to implement the following changes:

Migrate the payment processing system to Azure.


Migrate the historical transaction data to Azure Cosmos DB to address the performance issues.

Requirements. Migration Requirements

Contoso identifies the following general migration requirements:

Infrastructure services must remain available if a region or a data center fails. Failover must occur
without any administrative intervention.
Whenever possible, Azure managed services must be used to minimize management overhead.
Whenever possible, costs must be minimized.

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the payment processing system:

If a data center fails, ensure that the payment processing system remains available without any
administrative intervention. The middle-tier and the web front end must continue to operate without any
additional configurations.
Ensure that the number of compute nodes of the front-end and the middle tiers of the payment
processing system can increase or decrease automatically based on CPU utilization.
Ensure that each tier of the payment processing system is subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA)
of 99.99 percent availability.
Minimize the effort required to modify the middle-tier API and the back-end tier of the payment
processing system.
Payment processing system must be able to use grouping and joining tables on encrypted columns.
Generate alerts when unauthorized login attempts occur on the middle-tier virtual machines.
Ensure that the payment processing system preserves its current compliance status.
Host the middle tier of the payment processing system on a virtual machine

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the historical transaction query system:

Minimize the use of on-premises infrastructure services.


Minimize the effort required to modify the .NET web service querying Azure Cosmos DB.
Minimize the frequency of table scans.
If a region fails, ensure that the historical transaction query system remains available without any
administrative intervention.

Requirements. Information Security Requirements

The IT security team wants to ensure that identity management is performed by using Active Directory.
Password hashes must be stored on-premises only.

Access to all business-critical systems must rely on Active Directory credentials. Any suspicious
authentication attempts must trigger a multi-factor authentication prompt automatically.

QUESTION 1

administrators from deleting the data.

Solution: You create an Azure Blob storage container, and you configure a legal hold access policy.

Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Correct Answer: B
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Use an Azure Blob storage container, but use a time-based retention policy instead of a legal hold.

Note:
Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage enables users to store business-critical data objects in a WORM
(Write Once, Read Many) state. This state makes the data non-erasable and non-modifiable for a user-
specified interval. For the duration of the retention interval, blobs can be created and read, but cannot be
modified or deleted. Immutable storage is available for general-purpose v2 and Blob storage accounts in all
Azure regions.

Note: Set retention policies and legal holds


1. Create a new container or select an existing container to store the blobs that need to be kept in the
immutable state. The container must be in a general-purpose v2 or Blob storage account.
2. Select Access policy in the container settings. Then select Add policy under Immutable blob storage.
3. Either

QUESTION 18
You are planning to deploy an application named App1 that will run in containers on Azure Kubernetes
Service (AKS) clusters. The AKS clusters will be distributed across four Azure regions.

You need to recommend a storage solution for App1. Updated container images must be replicated
automatically to all the AKS clusters.

e-work
Which storage solution should you recommend?

A. Azure Cache for Redis


B. Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)
C. Premium SKU Azure Container Registry
D. geo-redundant storage (GRS) accounts

Correct Answer: C
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Enable geo-replication for container images.
Best practice: Store your container images in Azure Container Registry and geo-replicate the registry to
each AKS region.

To deploy and run your applications in AKS, you need a way to store and pull the container images.
Container Registry integrates with AKS, so it can securely store your container images or Helm charts.
Container Registry supports multimaster geo-replication to automatically replicate your images to Azure
regions around the world.

Geo-replication is a feature of Premium SKU container registries.

Note:
When you use Container Registry geo-replication to pull images from the same region, the results are:

Faster: You pull images from high-speed, low-latency network connections within the same Azure region.
More reliable: If a region is unavailable, your AKS cluster pulls the images from an available container
registry.
Cheaper: There's no network egress charge between datacenters.

Overview

Contoso, Ltd, is a US-based financial services company that has a main office in New York and a branch
office in San Francisco.

Existing Environment. Payment Processing System

Contoso hosts a business-critical payment processing system in its New York data center. The system has
three tiers: a front-end web app, a middle-tier web API, and a back-end data store implemented as a
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 database. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.

The front-end and middle-tier components are hosted by using Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS). The application code is written in C# and ASP.NET. The middle-tier API uses the Entity Framework to
communicate to the SQL Server database. Maintenance of the database is performed by using SQL Server
Agent jobs.

The database is currently 2 TB and is not expected to grow beyond 3 TB.

The payment processing system has the following compliance-related requirements:

Encrypt data in transit and at rest. Only the front-end and middle-tier components must be able to
access the encryption keys that protect the data store.
Keep backups of the data in two separate physical locations that are at least 200 miles apart and can
be restored for up to seven years.
Support blocking inbound and outbound traffic based on the source IP address, the destination IP
address, and the port number.
Collect Windows security logs from all the middle-tier servers and retain the logs for a period of seven
years.
Inspect inbound and outbound traffic from the front-end tier by using highly available network
appliances.
Only allow all access to all the tiers from the internal network of Contoso.

Tape backups are configured by using an on-premises deployment of Microsoft System Center Data
Protection Manager (DPM), and then shipped offsite for long term storage.

Existing Environment. Historical Transaction Query System

Contoso recently migrated a business-critical workload to Azure. The workload contains a .NET web

e-work
service for querying the historical transaction data residing in Azure Table Storage. The .NET web service
is accessible from a client app that was developed in-house and runs on the client computers in the New
York office. The data in the table storage is 50 GB and is not expected to increase.

Existing Environment. Current Issues

The Contoso IT team discovers poor performance of the historical transaction query system, as the queries
frequently cause table scans.

Requirements. Planned Changes

Contoso plans to implement the following changes:

Migrate the payment processing system to Azure.


Migrate the historical transaction data to Azure Cosmos DB to address the performance issues.

Requirements. Migration Requirements

Contoso identifies the following general migration requirements:

Infrastructure services must remain available if a region or a data center fails. Failover must occur
without any administrative intervention.
Whenever possible, Azure managed services must be used to minimize management overhead.
Whenever possible, costs must be minimized.

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the payment processing system:

If a data center fails, ensure that the payment processing system remains available without any
administrative intervention. The middle-tier and the web front end must continue to operate without any
additional configurations.
Ensure that the number of compute nodes of the front-end and the middle tiers of the payment
processing system can increase or decrease automatically based on CPU utilization.
Ensure that each tier of the payment processing system is subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA)
of 99.99 percent availability.
Minimize the effort required to modify the middle-tier API and the back-end tier of the payment
processing system.
Payment processing system must be able to use grouping and joining tables on encrypted columns.
Generate alerts when unauthorized login attempts occur on the middle-tier virtual machines.
Ensure that the payment processing system preserves its current compliance status.
Host the middle tier of the payment processing system on a virtual machine

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the historical transaction query system:

Minimize the use of on-premises infrastructure services.


Minimize the effort required to modify the .NET web service querying Azure Cosmos DB.
Minimize the frequency of table scans.
If a region fails, ensure that the historical transaction query system remains available without any
administrative intervention.

Requirements. Information Security Requirements

The IT security team wants to ensure that identity management is performed by using Active Directory.
Password hashes must be stored on-premises only.

Access to all business-critical systems must rely on Active Directory credentials. Any suspicious
authentication attempts must trigger a multi-factor authentication prompt automatically.

QUESTION 1

Explanation:

Box 1: Yes
Any new deployments to Azure must be redundant in case an Azure region fails.

Traffic Manager uses DNS to direct client requests to the most appropriate service endpoint based on a
traffic-routing method and the health of the endpoints. An endpoint is any Internet-facing service hosted
inside or outside of Azure. Traffic Manager provides a range of traffic-routing methods and endpoint
monitoring options to suit different application needs and automatic failover models. Traffic Manager is
resilient to failure, including the failure of an entire Azure region.

Box 2: Yes
Recent changes in Azure brought some significant changes in autoscaling options for Azure Web Apps (i.e.
Azure App Service to be precise as scaling happens on App Service plan level and has effect on all Web
Apps running in that App Service plan).

Box 3: No
Traffic Manager provides a range of traffic-routing methods and endpoint monitoring options to suit
different application needs and automatic failover models. Traffic Manager is resilient to failure, including
the failure of an entire Azure region.

Correct Answer: C
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To keep up with application demands in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), you may need to adjust the
number of nodes that run your workloads. The cluster autoscaler component can watch for pods in your

e-work
cluster that can't be scheduled because of resource constraints. When issues are detected, the number of
nodes in a node pool is increased to meet the application demand.

Azure Container Registry is a private registry for hosting container images. It integrates well with
orchestrators like Azure Container Service, including Docker Swarm, DC/OS, and the new Azure
Kubernetes service. Moreover, ACR provides capabilities such as Azure Active Directory-based
authentication, webhook support, and delete operations.

QUESTION 3
You have an on-premises network to which you deploy a virtual appliance.

You plan to deploy several Azure virtual machines and connect the on-premises network to Azure by using
a Site-to-Site connection.

All network traffic that will be directed from the Azure virtual machines to a specific subnet must flow
through the virtual appliance.

You need to recommend solutions to manage network traffic.

Which two options should you recommend? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

A. Configure Azure Traffic Manager.


B. Implement Azure ExpressRoute.
C. Configure a routing table.
D. Implement an Azure virtual network.

Correct Answer: BC
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: Forced tunneling lets you redirect or "force" all Internet-bound traffic back to your on-premises location
via a Site-to-Site VPN tunnel for inspection and auditing. This is a critical security requirement for most
enterprise IT policies. Without forced tunneling, Internet-bound traffic from your VMs in Azure always
traverses from Azure network infrastructure directly out to the Internet, without the option to allow you to
inspect or audit the traffic.

Forced tunneling in Azure is configured via virtual network user-defined routes.

C: ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private
connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to
Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, Office 365, and Dynamics 365.

Connectivity can be from an any-to-any (IP VPN) network, a point-to-point Ethernet network, or a virtual
cross-connection through a connectivity provider at a co-location facility. ExpressRoute connections do not
go over the public Internet. This allows ExpressRoute connections to offer more reliability, faster speeds,
lower latencies, and higher security than typical connections over the Internet.

Box 1: Content Delivery Network
A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that can efficiently deliver web content
to users. CDNs store cached content on edge servers in point-of-presence (POP) locations that are close
to end users, to minimize latency.

Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers developers a global solution for rapidly delivering high-
bandwidth content to users by caching their content at strategically placed physical nodes across the world.
Azure CDN can also accelerate dynamic content, which cannot be cached, by leveraging various network
optimizations using CDN POPs. For example, route optimization to bypass Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP).

Box 2: Azure Redis Cache


Azure Cache for Redis is based on the popular software Redis. It is typically used as a cache to improve
the performance and scalability of systems that rely heavily on backend data-stores. Performance is
improved by temporarily copying frequently accessed data to fast storage located close to the application.
With Azure Cache for Redis, this fast storage is located in-memory with Azure Cache for Redis instead of
being loaded from disk by a database.

QUESTION 45
You have an Azure subscription.

You need to deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) solution that will use Windows Server 2019 nodes.
The solution must meet the following requirements:

Minimize the time it takes to provision compute resources during scale-out operations.
Support autoscaling of Windows Server containers.

Which scaling option should you recommend?

A. cluster autoscaler
B. horizontal pod autoscaler
C. Kubernetes version 1.20.2 or newer
D. Virtual nodes with Virtual Kubelet ACI

Correct Answer: A
Section: [none]
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Azure Container Instances (ACI) lets you quickly deploy container instances without additional
infrastructure overhead. When you connect with AKS, ACI becomes a secured, logical extension of your
AKS cluster. The virtual nodes component, which is based on Virtual Kubelet, is installed in your AKS
cluster that presents ACI as a virtual Kubernetes node. Kubernetes can then schedule pods that run as ACI
instances through virtual nodes, not as pods on VM nodes directly in your AKS cluster.

Your application requires no modification to use virtual nodes. Deployments can scale across AKS and ACI
and with no delay as cluster autoscaler deploys new nodes in your AKS cluster.

Note: AKS clusters can scale in one of two ways:

e-work
The cluster autoscaler watches for pods that can't be scheduled on nodes because of resource
constraints. The cluster then automatically increases the number of nodes.
The horizontal pod autoscaler uses the Metrics Server in a Kubernetes cluster to monitor the resource
demand of pods. If an application needs more resources, the number of pods is automatically increased
to meet the demand.

Incorrect Answers:
B: To rapidly scale your AKS cluster, you can integrate with Azure Container Instances (ACI). Kubernetes
has built-in components to scale the replica and node count. However, if your application needs to rapidly
scale, the horizontal pod autoscaler may schedule more pods than can be provided by the existing
compute resources in the node pool. If configured, this scenario would then trigger the cluster autoscaler to
deploy additional nodes in the node pool, but it may take a few minutes for those nodes to successfully
provision and allow the Kubernetes scheduler to run pods on them.

Overview

Contoso, Ltd, is a US-based financial services company that has a main office in New York and a branch
office in San Francisco.

Existing Environment. Payment Processing System

Contoso hosts a business-critical payment processing system in its New York data center. The system has
three tiers: a front-end web app, a middle-tier web API, and a back-end data store implemented as a
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 database. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.

The front-end and middle-tier components are hosted by using Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS). The application code is written in C# and ASP.NET. The middle-tier API uses the Entity Framework to
communicate to the SQL Server database. Maintenance of the database is performed by using SQL Server
Agent jobs.

The database is currently 2 TB and is not expected to grow beyond 3 TB.

The payment processing system has the following compliance-related requirements:

Encrypt data in transit and at rest. Only the front-end and middle-tier components must be able to
access the encryption keys that protect the data store.
Keep backups of the data in two separate physical locations that are at least 200 miles apart and can
be restored for up to seven years.
Support blocking inbound and outbound traffic based on the source IP address, the destination IP
address, and the port number.
Collect Windows security logs from all the middle-tier servers and retain the logs for a period of seven
years.
Inspect inbound and outbound traffic from the front-end tier by using highly available network
appliances.
Only allow all access to all the tiers from the internal network of Contoso.

Tape backups are configured by using an on-premises deployment of Microsoft System Center Data
Protection Manager (DPM), and then shipped offsite for long term storage.

Existing Environment. Historical Transaction Query System

Contoso recently migrated a business-critical workload to Azure. The workload contains a .NET web

e-work
service for querying the historical transaction data residing in Azure Table Storage. The .NET web service
is accessible from a client app that was developed in-house and runs on the client computers in the New
York office. The data in the table storage is 50 GB and is not expected to increase.

Existing Environment. Current Issues

The Contoso IT team discovers poor performance of the historical transaction query system, as the queries
frequently cause table scans.

Requirements. Planned Changes

Contoso plans to implement the following changes:

Migrate the payment processing system to Azure.


Migrate the historical transaction data to Azure Cosmos DB to address the performance issues.

Requirements. Migration Requirements

Contoso identifies the following general migration requirements:

Infrastructure services must remain available if a region or a data center fails. Failover must occur
without any administrative intervention.
Whenever possible, Azure managed services must be used to minimize management overhead.
Whenever possible, costs must be minimized.

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the payment processing system:

If a data center fails, ensure that the payment processing system remains available without any
administrative intervention. The middle-tier and the web front end must continue to operate without any
additional configurations.
Ensure that the number of compute nodes of the front-end and the middle tiers of the payment
processing system can increase or decrease automatically based on CPU utilization.
Ensure that each tier of the payment processing system is subject to a Service Level Agreement (SLA)
of 99.99 percent availabilty.
Minimize the effort required to modify the middle-tier API and the back-end tier of the payment
processing system.
Payment processing system must be able to use grouping and joining tables on encrypted columns.
Generate alerts when unauthorized login attempts occur on the middle-tier virtual machines.
Ensure that the payment processing system preserves its current compliance status.
Host the middle tier of the payment processing system on a virtual machine

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the historical transaction query system:

Minimize the use of on-premises infrastructure services.


Minimize the effort required to modify the .NET web service querying Azure Cosmos DB.
Minimize the frequency of table scans.
If a region fails, ensure that the historical transaction query system remains available without any
administrative intervention.

Requirements. Information Security Requirements

The IT security team wants to ensure that identity management is performed by using Active Directory.
Password hashes must be stored on-premises only.

Access to all business-critical systems must rely on Active Directory credentials. Any suspicious
authentication attempts must trigger a multi-factor authentication prompt automatically.

QUESTION 1

Overview

Fabrikam, Inc. is an engineering company that has offices throughout Europe. The company has a main
office in London and three branch offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Rome.

Existing Environment. Active Directory Environment

The network contains two Active Directory forests named corp.fabrikam.com and rd.fabrikam.com. There
are no trust relationships between the forests.

Corp.fabrikam.com is a production forest that contains identities used for internal user and computer
authentication.

Rd.fabrikam.com is used by the research and development (R&D) department only.

Existing Environment. Network Infrastructure

Each office contains at least one domain controller from the corp.fabrikam.com domain. The main office
contains all the domain controllers for the rd.fabrikam.com forest.

All the offices have a high-speed connection to the Internet.

An existing application named WebApp1 is hosted in the data center of the London office. WebApp1 is
used by customers to place and track orders. WebApp1 has a web tier that uses Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS) and a database tier that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2016. The web tier and the
database tier are deployed to virtual machines that run on Hyper-V.

The IT department currently uses a separate Hyper-V environment to test updates to WebApp1.

Fabrikam purchases all Microsoft licenses through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that includes
Software Assurance.

Existing Environment. Problem Statements

The use of WebApp1 is unpredictable. At peak times, users often report delays. At other times, many
resources for WebApp1 are underutilized.
