Your company plans to deploy various Azure App Service instances that will use Azure SQL databases. The App Service instances will be deployed at the same time as the Azure SQL databases.
The company has a regulatory requirement to deploy the App Service instances only to specific Azure regions. The resources for the App Service instances must reside in the same region.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the regulatory requirement.
Solution: You recommend using an Azure policy to enforce the resource group location. Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:A
Azure Resource Policy Definitions can be used which can be applied to a specific Resource Group with the App Service instances.

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?
Correct Answer:A
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 multi-region writes is enabled.

You need to design a storage solution for an app that will store large amounts of frequently used data. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Maximize data throughput. Prevent the modification of data for one year. Minimize latency for read and write operations.
Which Azure Storage account type and storage service should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
Box 1: BlockBlobStorage
Block Blob is a premium storage account type for block blobs and append blobs. Recommended for scenarios with high transactions rates, or scenarios that use smaller objects or require consistently low storage latency.
Box 2: Blob
The Archive tier is an offline tier for storing blob data that is rarely accessed. The Archive tier offers the lowest storage costs, but higher data retrieval costs and latency compared to the online tiers (Hot and Cool). Data must remain in the Archive tier for at least 180 days or be subject to an early deletion charge.
Reference:

Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:A

You are planning an Azure Storage solution for sensitive data. The data will be accessed daily. The data set is less than 10 GB.
You need to recommend a storage solution that meets the following requirements:
• All the data written to storage must be retained for five years.
• Once the data is written, the data can only be read. Modifications and deletion must be prevented.
• After five years, the data can be deleted, but never modified.
• Data access charges must be minimized
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:

Box 1: General purpose v2 with Archive acce3ss tier for blobs
Archive - Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours.
Cool - Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days. Hot - Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
Box 2: Storage account resource lock
As an administrator, you can lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. The lock overrides any permissions the user might have.
Note: You can set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-only respectively.
CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource. ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource.
Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.
