Question 72
HOTSPOT 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. Hot Area:
Correct Answer:
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.

Question 73
You are evaluating the role assignments. For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation: Box 1: Yes DBAGroup1 is member of the Contributor role. The Contributor role grants full access to manage all resources, but does not allow you to assign roles in Azure RBAC, manage assignments in Azure Blueprints, or share image galleries. Box 2: No Box 3: Yes DBAGroup2 is member of the SQL DB Contributor role. The SQL DB Contributor role lets you manage SQL databases, but not access to them. Also, you can't manage their security-related policies or their parent SQL servers. As a member of this role you can create and manage SQL databases.

Question 74
You have an Azure SQL database named db1. 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.
You have an Azure SQL database. The database contains a table that uses a columnstore index and is accessed infrequently. You enable columnstore archival compression. What are two possible results of the configuration? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer: B,E
For rowstore tables and indexes, use the data compression feature to help reduce the size of the database. In addition to saving space, data compression can help improve performance of I/O intensive workloads because the data is stored in fewer pages and queries need to read fewer pages from disk. Use columnstore archival compression to further reduce the data size for situations when you can afford extra time and CPU resources to store and retrieve the data. Plan and Implement a High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) Environment Testlet 1 This is a case study. Case studies are not timed separately. You can use as much exam time as you would like to complete each case. However, there may be additional case studies and sections on this exam.

The main office hosts a sales department and the primary datacenter for the company. Physical Locations Existing Environment Litware has a manufacturing office and a research office is separate locations near Boston. Each office has its own datacenter and internet connection. The manufacturing and research datacenters connect to the primary datacenter by using a VPN. Network Environment The primary datacenter has an ExpressRoute connection that uses both Microsoft peering and private peering. The private peering connects to an Azure virtual network named HubVNet. Identity Environment Litware has a hybrid Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) deployment that uses a domain named litwareinc.com. All Azure subscriptions are associated to the litwareinc.com Azure AD tenant. Database Environment The sales department has the following database workload: * An on-premises named SERVER1 hosts an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and two 1-TB databases. * A logical server named SalesSrv01A contains a geo-replicated Azure SQL database named SalesSQLDb1. SalesSQLDb1 is in an elastic pool named SalesSQLDb1Pool. SalesSQLDb1 uses database firewall rules and contained database users. * An application named SalesSQLDb1App1 uses SalesSQLDb1. The manufacturing office contains two on-premises SQL Server 2016 servers named SERVER2 and SERVER3. The servers are nodes in the same Always On availability group. The availability group contains a database named ManufacturingSQLDb1 Database administrators have two Azure virtual machines in HubVnet named VM1 and VM2 that run Windows Server 2019 and are used to manage all the Azure databases. Licensing Agreement Litware is a Microsoft Volume Licensing customer that has License Mobility through Software Assurance. Current Problems SalesSQLDb1 experiences performance issues that are likely due to out-of-date statistics and frequent blocking queries. Requirements Planned Changes Litware plans to implement the following changes: * Implement 30 new databases in Azure, which will be used by time-sensitive manufacturing apps that have varying usage patterns. Each database will be approximately 20 GB. * Create a new Azure SQL database named ResearchDB1 on a logical server named ResearchSrv01. ResearchDB1 will contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. * Develop an app named ResearchApp1 that will be used by the research department to populate and access ResearchDB1. * Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform. * Migrate the SERVER1 databases to the Azure SQL Database platform. Technical Requirements Litware identifies the following technical requirements: * Maintenance tasks must be automated. * The 30 new databases must scale automatically. * The use of an on-premises infrastructure must be minimized. * Azure Hybrid Use Benefits must be leveraged for Azure SQL Database deployments. * All SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality. Security and Compliance Requirements Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements: * Store encryption keys in Azure Key Vault. * Retain backups of the PII data for two months. * Encrypt the PII data at rest, in transit, and in use. * Use the principle of least privilege whenever possible. * Authenticate database users by using Active Directory credentials. * Protect Azure SQL Database instances by using database-level firewall rules. * Ensure that all databases hosted in Azure are accessible from VM1 and VM2 without relying on public endpoints. Business Requirements Litware identifies the following business requirements: * Meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments. * Minimize downtime during the migration of the SERVER1 databases. * Use the Azure Hybrid Use Benefits when migrating workloads to Azure. * Once all requirements are met, minimize costs whenever possible.
