Your company has an on-premises network that contains multiple servers.

The company plans to reduce the following administrative responsibilities:
-Backing up application data
-Replacing failed server hardware
-Managing physical server security
-Updating server operating systems
-Managing permissions to shared documents

The company plans to migrate servers to Azure virtual machines.
You need to identify which administrative responsibilities will be eliminated after the planned migration.

Which two responsibilities should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Replacing failed server hardware
  2. Backing up application data
  3. Managing physical server security
  4. Updating server operating systems
  5. Managing permissions to shared documents

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

Azure virtual machines run on Hyper-V physical servers. The physical servers are owned and managed by Microsoft. As an Azure customer, you have no access to the physical servers. Microsoft manage the replacement of failed server hardware and the security of the physical servers so you don’t need to.

Incorrect Answers:
B: Microsoft have no control over the applications you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that application data is backed up.
D: Microsoft do not manage the operating systems you run on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that the operating systems are updated.
E: Microsoft have no control over the shared folders you host on the virtual machines. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that folder permissions are configured appropriately.



HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




One of the major changes that you will face when you move from on-premises cloud to the public cloud is the switch from capital expenditure (buying hardware) to operating expenditure (paying for service as you use it).

Box 1: No
With the pay-as-go model, you pay for services as you use them. This is Opex (Operational Expenditure), not CapEx (Captial Expenditure). CapEx is where you pay for something upfront. For example, buying a new physical server.

Box 2: No
Paying for electricity for your own datacenter will be classed as CapEx, not OpEx.

Box 3: Yes
Deploying your own datacenter is an example of CapEx. This is because you need to purchase all the infrastructure upfront before you can use it.

You plan to provision Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) resources in Azure.
Which resource is an example of IaaS?

  1. an Azure web app
  2. an Azure virtual machine
  3. an Azure logic app
  4. an Azure SQL database

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

An Azure virtual machine is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Azure web app, Azure logic app and Azure SQL database are all examples of Platform as a Service (Paas).

To which cloud models can you deploy physical servers?

  1. private cloud and hybrid cloud only
  2. private cloud only
  3. private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud
  4. hybrid cloud only

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A private cloud is on-premises so you can deploy physical servers.
A hybrid cloud is a mix of on-premise and public cloud resources. You can deploy physical servers on- premises.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Match the cloud model to the correct advantage.

Instructions: To answer, drag the appropriate cloud model from the column on the left to its advantage on the right. Each cloud model may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
NOTE: Each correct match is worth one point
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Public Cloud
With a public cloud, there is no capital expenditure on server hardware etc. You only pay for cloud resources that you use as you use them.

Box 2: Private Cloud
A private cloud exists on premises, so you have complete control over security.

Box 3: Hybrid Cloud
A hybrid cloud is a mix of public cloud resources and on-premises resources. Therefore, you have a choice to use either.
