You have an Azure SQL database.
Users report that the executions of a stored procedure are slower than usual. You suspect that a regressed query is causing the performance issue.
You need to view the query execution plan to verify whether a regressed query is causing the issue. The solution must minimize effort.
What should you use?

• A.Performance Recommendations in the Azure portal
• B.Extended Events in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
• C.Query Store in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
• D.Query Performance Insight in the Azure portal

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.

You have a new Azure SQL database. The database contains a column that stores confidential information.
You need to track each time values from the column are returned in a query. The tracking information must be
stored for 365 days from the date the query was executed.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A.Turn on auditing and write audit logs to an Azure Storage account.
• B.Add extended properties to the column.
• C.Turn on Advanced Data Security for the Azure SQL server.
• D.Apply sensitivity labels named Highly Confidential to the column.
• E.Turn on Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).

Correct Answer: A,C,D

Section: [none]
Explanation:
C: Advanced Data Security (ADS) is a unified package for advanced SQL security capabilities. ADS is available
for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics. It includes functionality
for discovering and classifying sensitive data
D: You can apply sensitivity-classification labels persistently to columns by using new metadata attributes that
have been added to the SQL Server database engine. This metadata can then be used for advanced,
sensitivity-based auditing and protection scenarios.
A: An important aspect of the information-protection paradigm is the ability to monitor access to sensitive data.
Azure SQL Auditing has been enhanced to include a new field in the audit log called
data_sensitivity_information. This field logs the sensitivity classifications (labels) of the data that was returned
by a query. Here's an example:

You are planning disaster recovery for the failover group of an Azure SQL Database managed instance.
Your company's SLA requires that the database in the failover group become available as quickly as possible if a major outage occurs.
You set the Read/Write failover policy to Automatic.
What are two results of the configuration? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A.In the event of a datacenter or Azure regional outage, the databases will fail over automatically.
• B.In the event of an outage, the databases in the primary instance will fail over immediately.
• C.In the event of an outage, you can selectively fail over individual databases.
• D.In the event of an outage, you can set a different grace period to fail over each database.
• E.In the event of an outage, the minimum delay for the databases to fail over in the primary instance will be one hour.
