Answer:

Explanation:
Box 1: Azure Files
Scenario: App2 has the following file storage requirements:
Save files to an Azure Storage account.

Replicate files to an on-premises location.

Ensure that on-premises clients can read the files over the LAN by using the SMB protocol.

Box 2: Azure File Sync
Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance,
and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure
file share. You can use any protocol that's available on Windows Server to access your data locally, including SMB, NFS,
and FTPS. You can have as many caches as you need across the world.

Question 2 Topic 1, Case Study 1Case Study Question View Case

You need to recommend a solution that meets the data requirements for App1.
What should you recommend deploying to each availability zone that contains an instance of App1?

• A. an Azure Cosmos DB that uses multi-region writes
• B. an Azure Data Lake store that uses geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS)
• C. an Azure SQL database that uses active geo-replication
• D. an Azure Storage account that uses geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS)

Answer:

A

Explanation:
Scenario: App1 has the following data requirements:
Each instance will write data to a data store in the same availability zone as the instance. Data written by any App1


instance must be visible to all App1 instances.
Azure Cosmos DB: Each partition across all the regions is replicated. Each region contains all the data partitions of an Azure
Cosmos container and can serve reads as well as serve writes when multiregion writes is enabled.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: GZRS protects against failures. Geo-redundant storage (with GRS or GZRS) replicates your data to another physical
location in the secondary region to protect against regional outages. However, that data is available to be read only if the
customer or Microsoft initiates a failover from the primary to secondary region.
C: Active geo-replication is designed as a business continuity solution that lets you perform quick disaster recovery of
individual databases in case of a regional disaster or a large scale outage. Once georeplication is set up, you can initiate a
geo-failover to a geo-secondary in a different Azure region. The geo-failover is initiated programmatically by the application
or manually by the user.

What should you implement to meet the identity requirements? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Answer:

Explanation:
Requirements: Identity Requirements
Contoso identifies the following requirements for managing Fabrikam access to resources:
Every month, an account manager at Fabrikam must review which Fabrikam users have access permissions to App1.

Accounts that no longer need permissions must be removed as guests. The solution must minimize development effort.

Box 1: The Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) When should you use access reviews?
Too many users in privileged roles: It's a good idea to check how many users have administrative access, how many of

them are Global Administrators, and if there are any invited guests or partners that have not been removed after being
assigned to do an administrative task. You can recertify the role assignment users in Azure AD roles such as Global
Administrators, or Azure resources roles such as User Access Administrator in the Azure AD Privileged Identity Management
(PIM) experience.
Box 2: Access reviews
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) access reviews enable organizations to efficiently manage group memberships, access to
enterprise applications, and role assignments. User's access can be reviewed on a regular basis to make sure only the right
people have continued access.
