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

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.



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:




Box 1: No
You cannot add physical servers to the public cloud. You can only deploy virtual servers in the public cloud.
You can extend a private cloud by deploying virtual servers in a public cloud. This would create a hybrid cloud.

Box 2: Yes
A hybrid cloud is a combination of a private cloud and public cloud. Therefore, to create a hybrid cloud, you must deploy resources to a public cloud.

Box 3: No.
It is not true that a private cloud must be disconnected from the Internet. Private clouds can be and most commonly are connected to the Internet. “Private cloud” means that the physical servers are managed by you. It does not mean that it is disconnected from the Internet.

You have 50 virtual machines hosted on-premises and 50 virtual machines hosted in Azure. The on-premises virtual machines and the Azure virtual machines connect to each other.

Which type of cloud model is this?

  1. hybrid
  2. private
  3. public

Answer(s): A

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:




Box 1: No
A PaaS solution does not provide access to the operating system. The Azure Web Apps service provides an environment for you to host your web applications. Behind the scenes, the web apps are hosted on virtual machines running IIS. However, you have no direct access to the virtual machine, the operating system or IIS.
Box 2: Yes
Box 3: Yes
A PaaS solution that hosts web apps in Azure does provide the ability to scale the platform automatically. This is known as autoscaling. Behind the scenes, the web apps are hosted on virtual machines running IIS. Autoscaling means adding more load balanced virtual machines to host the web apps.

Your company plans to migrate all its data and resources to Azure.
The company’s migration plan states that only Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions must be used in Azure.

You need to deploy an Azure environment that meets the company migration plan.
Solution: You create an Azure virtual machines, Azure SQL databases, and Azure Storage accounts.
Does this meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. PaaS includes infrastructure—servers, storage, and networking—but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.
