   To complete the sentence, select the appropriate option in the answer area.

   

   

   Explanation:

   If the SLA for an Azure service is not met, you receive credits for that service and that service only. The credits are deducted from your monthly bill for that service. If you stopped using the service where the SLA was not met, your account would remain in credit for that service. The credits would not be applied to any other services that you may be using.

   Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the particular Service, Service Resource, or Service tier for which a Service Level has not been met. In cases where Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or Service tier, as applicable. The Service Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed your monthly service fees for that Service or Service Resource, as applicable, in the billing month.

4. Which task can you perform by using Azure Advisor?

   • Integrate Active Directory and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
   • Estimate the costs of an Azure solution.
   • Confirm that Azure subscription security follows best practices.
   • Evaluate which on-premises resources can be migrated to Azure.

5. HOTSPOT

   For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

   NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   

   

   Explanation:

   Box 1: No
   Azure Free Account gives you 12 months access to the most popular free services. It also gives you a credit (150 GBP or 200 USD) to use on any Azure service for up to 30 days.

   Box 2: Yes
   All free accounts expire after 12 months.

   Box 3: No
   You can only create one free Azure account per Microsoft account.

6. HOTSPOT

   For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

   NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   

   

   Explanation:

   Public Preview means that the service is in public beta and can be tried out by anyone with an Azure subscription. Services in public preview are often offered at a discount price.

   Box 1: No
   Services in private preview can be viewed in the regular Azure portal. However, you need to be signed up for the feature in private preview before you can view it. Access to private preview features is usually by invitation only.

   Box 2: Yes
   You can use services in public preview in production environments. However, you should be aware that the service may have faults, is not subject to an SLA and may be withdrawn without notice.

   Box 3: No
   Public previews are excluded from SLAs and in some cases, no support is offered.

7. Your company has 10 offices. You plan to generate several billing reports from the Azure portal. Each report will contain the Azure resource utilization of each office.

   Which Azure Resource Manager feature should you use before you generate the reports?

   • tags 
   • templates
   • locks
   • policies
   Explanation:
   You can use resource tags to ‘label’ Azure resources. Tags are metadata elements attached to resources. Tags consist of pairs of key/value strings. In this question, we would tag each resource with a tag to identify each office. For example: Location = Office1. When all Azure resources are tagged, you can generate reports to list all resources based on the value of the tag. For example: All resources used by Office1.

8. HOTSPOT

   For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

   NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   

   

   Explanation:

   Box 1: No
   An Azure free account comes with a ‘basic’ support plan, not a ‘standard’ support plan.

   Box 2: Yes
   You can purchase the Professional Direct, Standard, and Developer support plans with the Microsoft Customer Agreement. You can also purchase the Professional and Standard support plans with the Enterprise Agreement.

   Box 3: No
   Users with any type of Azure subscription (pay-as-you-go, Enterprise Agreement, Microsoft Customer Agreement etc.) can get support from the MSDN forums.

9. This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.

   If Microsoft plans to end support for an Azure service that does NOT have a successor service, Microsoft will provide notification at least 12 months before.

   Instructions: Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select “No change is needed”. If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

   • No change is needed.
   • 6 months
   • 90 days
   • 30 days
   Explanation:
   The Modern Lifecycle Policy covers products and services that are serviced and supported continuously. For products governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy, Microsoft will provide a minimum of 12 months’ notification prior to ending support if no successor product or service is offered—excluding free services or preview releases.
   

10. HOTSPOT

    For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    

    

    Explanation:

    Box 1: No
    You need to be an administrator of the billing account that has the subscription to be able to transfer the subscription. This could be a Billing Administrator or Global Administrator. A subscription owner can manage all resources and permissions within the subscription but cannot transfer ownership of the subscription.

    Box 2: Yes
    You can convert a free trial subscription to Pay-As-You-Go. This is common practice for people who wish to continue using the Azure services when the free trial period expires.

    Box 3: Yes
    You can remove the spending limit, but you can’t increase or decrease it.
    The spending limit in Azure prevents spending over your credit amount. All new customers who sign up for an Azure free account or subscription types that include credits over multiple months have the spending limit turned on by default. The spending limit is equal to the amount of credit and it can’t be changed. For example, if you signed up for Azure free account, your spending limit is $200 and you can’t change it to $500. However, you can remove the spending limit. So, you either have no limit, or you have a limit equal to the amount of credit.

11. HOTSPOT

    For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    

    

    Explanation:

    Box 1: Yes
    A reservation is where you commit to pay for a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period.

    Box 2: No
    There are other factors that influence the cost of a virtual machine such as the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine. You could have multiple virtual machines with the same ‘size’ (B2S in this case) but with different virtual hard disk configurations.

    Box 3: Yes
    When a virtual machine is stopped (deallocated), the virtual machine is unloaded/dismounted from the physical server in Azure. In this state, you are not charged for the virtual machine itself. However, you are still charged for the storage costs of the virtual hard disks attached to the virtual machine.

    If the virtual machine is stopped but not deallocated (this happens if you shut down the virtual machine from the operating system of the virtual machine), the virtual machine is still mounted on the physical server in Azure and you are charged for the virtual machine itself as well as the storage costs. To ensure that a virtual machine is ‘stopped (deallocated)’, you need to stop the virtual machine in the Azure portal.

    How should you calculate the monthly uptime percentage? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    

    

    Explanation:

    “Maximum Available Minutes” is the total accumulated minutes during a billing month .

    “Downtime” is the total accumulated minutes that are part of Maximum Available Minutes where a system is unavailable.

    “Monthly Uptime Percentage” for a service is calculated as Maximum Available Minutes less Downtime divided by Maximum Available Minutes x 100.
    Monthly Uptime Percentage is represented by the following formula:
    Monthly Uptime % = (Maximum Available Minutes-Downtime) / Maximum Available Minutes x 100.
