NEW QUESTION 86
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 two Azure SQL Database servers named Server1 and Server2. Each server contains an Azure SQL database named Database1.
You need to restore Database1 from Server1 to Server2. The solution must replace the existing Database1 on Server2.
Solution: You restore Database1 from Server1 to the Server2 by using the RESTORE Transact-SQL command and the REPLACE option.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: B
Explanation:
The REPLACE option overrides several important safety checks that restore normally performs. The overridden checks are as follows:
* Restoring over an existing database with a backup taken of another database.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database name recorded in the backup set. This can result in accidentally overwriting a database by a different database.

NEW QUESTION 87
You are developing an application that uses Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2.
You need to recommend a solution to grant permissions to a specific application for a limited time period.
What should you include in the recommendation?
- A. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) identities
- B. shared access signatures (SAS)
- C. role assignments
- D. account keys
Answer: B
Explanation:
A shared access signature (SAS) provides secure delegated access to resources in your storage account. With a SAS, you have granular control over how a client can access your data. For example:
What resources the client may access.
What permissions they have to those resources.
How long the SAS is valid.
Note: Data Lake Storage Gen2 supports the following authorization mechanisms:
Shared Key authorization
Shared access signature (SAS) authorization
Role-based access control (Azure RBAC)
Access control lists (ACL) Data Lake Storage Gen2 supports the following authorization mechanisms:
Shared Key authorization
Shared access signature (SAS) authorization
Role-based access control (Azure RBAC)
Access control lists (ACL)

NEW QUESTION 88
You are planning the migration of the SERVER1 databases. The solution must meet the business requirements.
What should you include in the migration plan? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
Azure Database Migration service
Box 1: Premium 4-VCore
Scenario: Migrate the SERVER1 databases to the Azure SQL Database platform.
Minimize downtime during the migration of the SERVER1 databases.
Premimum 4-vCore is for large or business critical workloads. It supports online migrations, offline migrations, and faster migration speeds.
Incorrect Answers:
The Standard pricing tier suits most small- to medium- business workloads, but it supports offline migration only.
Box 2: A VPN gateway
You need to create a Microsoft Azure Virtual Network for the Azure Database Migration Service by using the Azure Resource Manager deployment model, which provides site-to-site connectivity to your on-premises source servers by using either ExpressRoute or VPN.

You need to trigger an Azure Data Factory pipeline when a file arrives in an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container.
Which resource provider should you enable?
- A. Microsoft.EventHub
- B. Microsoft.EventGrid
- C. Microsoft.Automation
- D. Microsoft.Sql
Answer: B
Explanation:
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a common data integration pattern that involves production, detection, consumption, and reaction to events. Data integration scenarios often require Data Factory customers to trigger pipelines based on events happening in storage account, such as the arrival or deletion of a file in Azure Blob Storage account. Data Factory natively integrates with Azure Event Grid, which lets you trigger pipelines on such events.

NEW QUESTION 91
Which windowing function should you use to perform the streaming aggregation of the sales data?
- A. Hopping
- B. Tumbling
- C. Session
- D. Sliding
Answer: B
Explanation:
Scenario: The sales data, including the documents in JSON format, must be gathered as it arrives and analyzed online by using Azure Stream Analytics. The analytics process will perform aggregations that must be done continuously, without gaps, and without overlapping.
Tumbling window functions are used to segment a data stream into distinct time segments and perform a function against them, such as the example below. The key differentiators of a Tumbling window are that they repeat, do not overlap, and an event cannot belong to more than one tumbling window.

You need to retrieve the resource usage of db1 from the last week.
How should you complete the statement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
Box 1: sys.resource_stats
sys.resource_stats returns CPU usage and storage data for an Azure SQL Database. It has database_name and start_time columns.
Box 2: DateAdd
The following example returns all databases that are averaging at least 80% of compute utilization over the last one week.
DECLARE @s datetime;
DECLARE @e datetime;
SET @s= DateAdd(d,-7,GetUTCDate());
SET @e= GETUTCDATE();
SELECT database_name, AVG(avg_cpu_percent) AS Average_Compute_Utilization FROM sys.resource_stats WHERE start_time BETWEEN @s AND @e GROUP BY database_name HAVING AVG(avg_cpu_percent) >= 80 Incorrect Answers:
sys.dm_exec_requests:
sys.dm_exec_requests returns information about each request that is executing in SQL Server. It does not have a column named database_name.
sys.dm_db_resource_stats:
sys.dm_db_resource_stats does not have any start_time column.
Note: sys.dm_db_resource_stats returns CPU, I/O, and memory consumption for an Azure SQL Database database. One row exists for every 15 seconds, even if there is no activity in the database. Historical data is maintained for approximately one hour.
Sys.dm_user_db_resource_governance returns actual configuration and capacity settings used by resource governance mechanisms in the current database or elastic pool. It does not have any start_time column.

You need to recommend a configuration for ManufacturingSQLDb1 after the migration to Azure. The solution must meet the business requirements.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Scenario: Business Requirements
Litware identifies business requirements include: meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments.
Box 1: Cloud witness
If you have a Failover Cluster deployment, where all nodes can reach the internet (by extension of Azure), it is recommended that you configure a Cloud Witness as your quorum witness resource.
Box 2: Azure Basic Load Balancer
Microsoft guarantees that a Load Balanced Endpoint using Azure Standard Load Balancer, serving two or more Healthy Virtual Machine Instances, will be available 99.99% of the time.
Note: There are two main options for setting up your listener: external (public) or internal. The external (public) listener uses an internet facing load balancer and is associated with a public Virtual IP (VIP) that is accessible over the internet. An internal listener uses an internal load balancer and only supports clients within the same Virtual Network.

NEW QUESTION 101
You have SQL Server on Azure virtual machines in an availability group.
You have a database named DB1 that is NOT in the availability group.
You create a full database backup of DB1.
You need to add DB1 to the availability group.
Which restore option should you use on the secondary replica?
- A. Restore with Norecovery
- B. Restore with Standby
D18912E1457D5D1DDCBD40AB3BF70D5D - C. Restore with Recovery
Answer: A
Explanation:
Prepare a secondary database for an Always On availability group requires two steps:
1. Restore a recent database backup of the primary database and subsequent log backups onto each server instance that hosts the secondary replica, using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY
2. Join the restored database to the availability group.
