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 an Azure SQL database named Sales. You need to implement disaster recovery for Sales to meet the following requirements: * During normal operations, provide at least two readable copies of Sales. * Ensure that Sales remains available if a datacenter fails. Solution: You deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the General Purpose service tier and geo-replication. Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer: B
Instead deploy an Azure SQL database that uses the Business Critical service tier and Availability Zones. Note: Premium and Business Critical service tiers leverage the Premium availability model, which integrates compute resources (sqlservr.exe process) and storage (locally attached SSD) on a single node. High availability is achieved by replicating both compute and storage to additional nodes creating a three to four- node cluster. By default, the cluster of nodes for the premium availability model is created in the same datacenter. With the introduction of Azure Availability Zones, SQL Database can place different replicas of the Business Critical database to different availability zones in the same region. To eliminate a single point of failure, the control ring is also duplicated across multiple zones as three gateway rings (GW).

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. You must manage your time to ensure that you are able to complete all questions included on this exam in the time provided. To answer the questions included in a case study, you will need to reference information that is provided in the case study. Case studies might contain exhibits and other resources that provide more information about the scenario that is described in the case study. Each question is independent of the other questions in this case study. At the end of this case study, a review screen will appear. This screen allows you to review your answers and to make changes before you move to the next section of the exam. After you begin a new section, you cannot return to this section.

Existing Environment Network Environment The manufacturing and research datacenters connect to the primary datacenter by using a VPN. 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.
Question 188
You configure a long-term retention policy for an Azure SQL database as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit tab.) The first weekly backup occurred on January 4, 2020. The dates for the first 10 weekly backups are: January 4, 2020 January 11, 2020 January 18, 2020 January 25, 2020 February 1, 2020 February 8, 2020 February 15, 2020 February 22, 2020 February 29, 2020 March 7, 2020 Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic.

Correct Answer:
Question 189
You have an Azure SQL database that contains a table named Customer. Customer has the columns shown in the following table. You plan to implement a dynamic data mask for the Customer_Phone column. The mask must meet the following requirements: The first six numerals of each customer's phone number must be masked. The last four digits of each customer's phone number must be visible. Hyphens must be preserved and displayed. How should you configure the dynamic data mask? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
You are designing an enterprise data warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics that will contain a table named Customers. Customers will contain credit card information. You need to recommend a solution to provide salespeople with the ability to view all the entries in Customers. The solution must prevent all the salespeople from viewing or inferring the credit card information. What should you include in the recommendation?
Correct Answer: B
Section: [none] Explanation: Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics support dynamic data masking. Dynamic data masking limits sensitive data exposure by masking it to non-privileged users. The Credit card masking method exposes the last four digits of the designated fields and adds a constant string as a prefix in the form of a credit card. Example: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234
