What is an Azure region?

A collection of similar services that can be hosted in an Azure data centre.

A set of data centers, deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.

A geographical part of the Azure platform.

One or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

What is an availability zone?

Unique physical locations within a region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

A collection of software that can enable high scalability at short notice.

A set of data centers close together.

One or more data centers that are close together to provide backup.

What is a fully managed platform on Azure?

You can pay a monthly fee to have Microsoft look after the maintenance of your applications and services on Azure.

Servers, network, storage and more is all managed by Azure. You focus on your business value and logic.

Every part of your Azure services are looked after by Microsoft. This means you don't have to worry about your application development.

The fully managed platform on Azure is a specific subscription that provides extra support for your Azure services.

What are some benefits of using a Virtual Machine on Azure?

Much cheaper than running your own servers.

No maintenance of hardware and only paying for what you use.

Much higher performance of your applications.

Owning the hardware but Azure maintains it.

Which cloud service model do Virtual Machines belong to?

Serverless.

Platform-as-a-Service.

Software-as-a-Service.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service.

Why would you use a Content Delivery Network? Select 2

To better handle instantaneous high loads, such as the start of a product launch event.

A CDN ensures maximum uptime for an application that is hosted in more than one datacenter.

For incoming traffic, to make routing decisions based on additional attributes of an HTTP request, such as URI path or host headers.

To ensure requests made from users are securely handled and served.

To provide better performance and improved user experience for end users.

Which benefits does adding a load balancer provide? Select 3

A load balancer can log traffic that passes through it.

When there is too much incoming network traffic for a single VM to handle, a load balancer can distribute the load to many VMs.

When a Virtual disk is running out of space on a Virtual Machine the incoming data can be directed to another Virtual Machine to manage the load.

A load balancer ensures that the load is evenly distributed between 2-5 Virtual Machines.

To ensure only healthy servers process requests

How do resources on Azure use a virtual network?

All resources must be connected to a Virtual Network to use the Azure platform.

Resources on a free account don't have to be on a Virtual Network to use Azure.

Any resource that communicates with the public Internet has to be on a Virtual Network.

Azure virtual network enables Azure resources to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks.

What can you store in a blob container inside Azure Storage?

Only known binary formats such as images, video and text documents.

Any kind of binary file that is less than 4096KB in size.

Binary files that comply with the Azure data types defined for the storage type.

Any kind of binary file, such as videos, images, documents and applications.

What is the primary use for disk storage?

Backup facility for Virtual Machines.

Store files larger than 2GB.

To attach to a Virtual Machine to act as a Virtual hard drive.

Archive large amounts of data.

What is an address space on a Virtual Network?

An address space is a range of IP addresses that can be assigned to resources attached to the Virtual Network.

A definition of what types of resources can connect to either a private or public network hosted on Azure.

A reserved number of public IP addresses that you can use to connect a Virtual Network to the public Internet.

A portion of the complete address space for a given Azure subscription can be assigned to a Virtual Network.

Why would you use a Content Delivery Network? Select 2

To provide better performance and improved user experience for end users.

For incoming traffic, to make routing decisions based on additional attributes of an HTTP request, such as URI path or host headers.

To ensure requests made from users are securely handled and served.

A CDN ensures maximum uptime for an application that is hosted in more than one datacenter.

To better handle instantaneous high loads, such as the start of a product launch event.

What is an Azure Function?

A serverless solution that allows you to write less code, maintain less infrastructure, and save on costs.

The smallest compute service on Azure that represents a single function of compute.

A function to update any resources on Azure.

An add-on to any paid Azure subscription that allows using Azure services as functions in your applications.

A foundational component of any Azure infrastructure.

What is a benefit of a hybrid cloud approach?

Using alternative energy sources for powering some services can create tax benefits in some regions.

It requires no changes to existing code or applications, allowing companies to scale their infrastructure into the cloud.

All maintenance is handled by Microsoft Azure so it reduces support costs.

It enables companies to use a mix of private and public cloud components.
