QUESTION 1

You have an Azure SQL managed instance named SQLMI1 that hosts 10 databases.

You need to implement alerts by using Azure Monitor. The solution must meet the following requirements: Minimize costs.

Aggregate Intelligent Insights telemetry from each database.

What should you do?

A
From the Diagnostic settings of each database, select Send to Log Analytics.
B
From the Diagnostic settings of each database, select Stream to an event hub.
C
From the Diagnostic settings of SQLMI1, select Send to Log Analytics.
D
From the Diagnostic settings of SQLMI1, select Stream to an event hub.

Correct Option: A

โœ…

Reasoning: Intelligent Insights telemetry is database-specific. Sending diagnostic settings from each database to Log Analytics ensures all individual database insights are captured and aggregated efficiently. Log Analytics is the cost-effective solution for storing, querying, and alerting on this aggregated data using Azure Monitor. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option B is incorrect: Streaming to an Event Hub for aggregation and alerting typically requires additional processing services (e.g., Stream Analytics), increasing complexity and cost compared to direct ingestion into Log Analytics.
  • Option C is incorrect: Intelligent Insights telemetry originates at the database level. Configuring diagnostic settings at the SQL Managed Instance level (SQLMI1) will not capture the required per-database Intelligent Insights data.
  • Option D is incorrect: This option combines the incorrect scope (Managed Instance level) with the less cost-effective and more complex method of using an Event Hub for aggregation and alerting compared to Log Analytics.
QUESTION 2

You have an Azure SQL managed instance that hosts multiple databases.

You need to configure alerts for each database based on the diagnostics telemetry of the database. What should you use?

A
Azure SQL Analytics alerts based onmetrics
B
SQL Health Check alerts based on diagnosticslogs
C
SQL Health Check alerts based onmetrics
D
Azure SQL Analytics alerts based on diagnosticslogs

Correct Option: D

โœ… **Azure SQL Analytics alerts based on diagnostics logs **

Reasoning: Diagnostic logs provide granular, per-database telemetry, including errors, events, and query statistics. Azure Monitor, leveraging Log Analytics (which encompasses "Azure SQL Analytics" capabilities), allows configuring powerful, database-specific alerts by querying these detailed logs. This approach directly addresses the need for alerts based on "diagnostics telemetry of the database." โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: While metrics are useful, they offer less granular insights than diagnostic logs for specific "diagnostics telemetry" like detailed errors, events, or specific query issues within individual databases.
  • Option B is incorrect: "SQL Health Check" is not a native Azure service or feature for configuring alerts on Azure SQL Managed Instance database diagnostics telemetry. This option does not represent a standard Azure alerting mechanism.
  • Option C is incorrect: Similar to B, "SQL Health Check" is not a standard Azure service for configuring alerts. Furthermore, metrics alone are often insufficient for detailed diagnostic alerts compared to logs.
QUESTION 3

Litware inc

You need to provide an implementation plan to configure data retention for ResearchDB1. The solution must meet the security and compliance requirements. What should you include in the plan?

A
Configure the Deleted databases settings forResearchSrv01.
B
Deploy and configure an Azure Backupserver.
C
Configure the Advanced Data Security settings forResearchDB1.
D
Configure the Manage Backups settings forResearchSrv01.

Correct Option: D

โœ…

Reasoning: To retain backups of an Azure SQL Database (ResearchDB1) for two months (60 days), Long-Term Retention (LTR) policies must be configured. These policies are managed under the "Manage Backups" or "Retention policies" settings for the logical server (ResearchSrv01) or individual databases in the Azure portal, allowing retention for up to 10 years. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: "Deleted databases settings" manage how long a deleted database's backups are kept, not the ongoing backup retention for an active database.
  • Option B is incorrect: An Azure Backup server (MABS) is for on-premises SQL Server or VMs, not native Azure SQL Database backup retention.
  • Option C is incorrect: "Advanced Data Security" provides vulnerability assessment, threat detection, and data discovery, but does not configure backup retention periods.
QUESTION 4

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.

Hot Area:

 

Technical Scenario Diagram
Answer Canvas

โœ… Node majority with witness

Reasoning: For a two-node Always On Availability Group (AG) migrated to Azure VMs, a witness is essential to achieve quorum. This prevents a split-brain scenario if one node fails, ensuring the remaining node can maintain the AG and meet the 99.99% availability requirement.


โœ… Azure Standard Load Balancer

Reasoning: An Availability Group listener requires a load balancer in Azure. The Standard Load Balancer offers a 99.99% SLA and is the recommended option for production SQL Server AGs on Azure VMs to meet the business requirement for 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments.

QUESTION 5

What should you do after a failover of SalesSQLDb1 to ensure that the database remains accessible to SalesSQLDb1App1?

A
Configure SalesSQLDb1 as writable.
B
Update the connection strings of SalesSQLDb1App1.
C
Update the firewall rules of SalesSQLDb1.
D
Update the users inSalesSQLDb1.

Correct Option: B

โœ…

Reasoning: When a geo-replicated Azure SQL database fails over without a configured Failover Group listener, the application's connection string, which typically points to the original primary logical server's FQDN, must be updated to connect to the new primary logical server's FQDN. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: After a failover, the new primary database automatically transitions to a writable state; no manual configuration is required.
  • Option C is incorrect: Firewall rules are primarily defined at the logical server level. If the target server already has appropriate rules (e.g., for VNet integration or allowed IPs), updates are not inherently needed due to the failover itself.
  • Option D is incorrect: SalesSQLDb1 uses contained database users. These users are stored within the database and are replicated to the secondary, making them immediately available on the new primary after failover.
QUESTION 6

 

What should you implement to meet the disaster recovery requirements for the PaaS solution?

A
Availability Zones
B
Failover groups
C
Always On availability groups
D
geo-replication

Correct Option: B

โœ… **Failover groups **

Reasoning: Azure SQL Database failover groups provide automatic failover of a group of databases to a secondary region, addressing the requirement for "minimal downtime" and "automatic failover" in the event of an "Azure regional outage" for the PaaS solution. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: Availability Zones provide high availability within a single region, not protection against regional outages or cross-region failover.
  • Option C is incorrect: Always On availability groups are a DR solution for SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS), not directly for Azure SQL Database (PaaS).
  • Option D is incorrect: Geo-replication provides cross-region replication but typically requires manual failover. The requirement specifically states "automatic failover."


QUESTION 7

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: From the Azure portal, you delete Database1 from Server2, and then you create a new database on Server2 by using the backup of Database1 from Server1.

Does this meet the goal?

A
Yes
B
No

Correct Option: A

โœ…

Reasoning: This solution correctly addresses the goal. Deleting the existing database on Server2 makes way for the restored database. Restoring Database1 from Server1 to Server2 as a new database (with the same name) effectively replaces the original, meeting all requirements.



QUESTION 8

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 run the Remove-AzSqlDatabasePowerShell cmdlet for Database1 on Server2. You run the Restore-AzSqlDatabasePowerShell cmdlet for Database1 on Server2.

Does this meet the goal?

A
Yes
B
No

Correct Option: A

โœ…

Reasoning: Deleting the existing Database1 on Server2 with Remove-AzSqlDatabase first ensures the name is available. Then, Restore-AzSqlDatabase can be used to restore a backup of Database1 from Server1 (by specifying source and target parameters) to Server2 with the desired name, effectively replacing the original database. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option B is incorrect: The described solution accurately addresses the need to delete the existing database before restoring a new one with the same name, and uses the correct cmdlet for restoration.
QUESTION 9

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 RESTORETransact-SQL command and the REPLACEoption. Does this meet the goal?

A
Yes
B
No

Correct Option: B

โœ…

Reasoning: The RESTORE Transact-SQL command with the REPLACE option is not supported for restoring Azure SQL Database instances. Azure SQL Database is a PaaS offering that handles backups and restores differently, typically creating a new database during a restore operation, requiring manual replacement steps. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: The RESTORE command, as used in SQL Server on-premises, does not apply to Azure SQL Database for cross-server restores.
QUESTION 10

YouhaveanAlwaysOnavailabilitygroupdeployedtoAzurevirtualmachines.TheavailabilitygroupcontainsadatabasenamedDB1andhastwonodesnamed SQL1 and SQL2. SQL1 is the primaryreplica.

You need to initiate a full backup of DB1 on SQL2. Which statement should you run?

A
BACKUP DATABASE DB1 TO URL='https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/DB1.bak' with (Differential, STATS=5,COMPRESSION);
B
BACKUP DATABASE DB1 TO URL='https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/DB1.bak' with (COPY_ONLY, STATS=5,COMPRESSION);
C
BACKUP DATABASE DB1 TO URL='https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/DB1.bak' with (File_Snapshot, STATS=5,COMPRESSION);
D
BACKUP DATABASE DB1 TO URL='https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/DB1.bak' with (NoInit, STATS=5,COMPRESSION);

Correct Option: B

โœ…

Reasoning: The COPY_ONLY option creates a full backup that is independent of the regular backup sequence. This is crucial when performing an ad-hoc full backup on a secondary replica in an AlwaysOn Availability Group, as it prevents interference with the log chain and subsequent differential or log backups taken on the primary or designated backup replica. โŒ Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Option A is incorrect: The Differential option performs a differential backup, not a full backup as required by the question. A differential backup would also rely on a preceding full backup in the regular sequence.
  • Option C is incorrect: File_Snapshot is used for specific Azure blob snapshot backups, typically leveraging Azure's file snapshot capabilities for database files. It is not the standard command for initiating a full database content backup as requested here.
  • Option D is incorrect: NoInit causes the backup to append to an existing media set. It does not ensure the backup is a COPY_ONLY full backup, nor does it address the specific requirements of backing up from an AG secondary without affecting the backup chain.
