You need to create and configure an Azure Storage account named az400lod11566895stor in a resource group named RG1lod11566895 to store the boot diagnostics for a virtual machine named VM1.
To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.

Correct Answer:

See solution below.
Explanation
Step 1: To create a general-purpose v2 storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:
* On the Azure portal menu, select All services. In the list of resources, type Storage Accounts. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. Select Storage Accounts.
* On the Storage Accounts window that appears, choose Add.
* Select the subscription in which to create the storage account.
* Under the Resource group field, select RG1lod11566895
* Next, enter a name for your storage account named: az400lod11566895stor
* Select Create.
Step 2: Enable boot diagnostics on existing virtual machine
To enable Boot diagnostics on an existing virtual machine, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to the Azure portal, and then select the virtual machine VM1.
2. In the Support + troubleshooting section, select Boot diagnostics, then select the Settings tab.
3. In Boot diagnostics settings, change the status to On, and from the Storage account drop-down list, select the storage account az400lod11566895stor.
4. Save the change.

You must restart the virtual machine for the change to take effect.

You need to deploy Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to host an application. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Containers must only be published internally.
* AKS clusters must be able to create and manage containers in Azure.
What should you use for each requirement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: Azure Container Registry
Azure services like Azure Container Registry (ACR) and Azure Container Instances (ACI) can be used and connected from independent container orchestrators like kubernetes (k8s). You can set up a custom ACR and connect it to an existing k8s cluster to ensure images will be pulled from the private container registry instead of the public docker hub.
Box 2: An Azure service principal
When you're using Azure Container Registry (ACR) with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), an authentication mechanism needs to be established. You can set up AKS and ACR integration during the initial creation of your AKS cluster. To allow an AKS cluster to interact with ACR, an Azure Active Directory service principal is used.
