Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: BlobStorage
BlobStorage supports NFSv3, see below.
Box 2: NFSv3
Blob storage now supports the Network File System (NFS) 3.0 protocol. This support provides Linux file system compatibility
at object storage scale and prices and enables Linux clients to mount a container in Blob storage from an Azure Virtual
Machine (VM) or a computer on-premises.
Scenario: Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements:
On-premises users and services must be able to access the Azure Storage account that will host the data in App1.

Question 2 Topic 1, Case Study 1Case Study Question View Case
You migrate App1 to Azure.
You need to ensure that the data storage for App1 meets the security and compliance requirements.
What should you do?
- A. Create Azure RBAC assignments.
- B. Create an access policy for the blob service.
- C. Modify the access level of the blob service.
- D. Implement Azure resource locks.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authorizes access rights to secured resources through Azure role-based access control
(Azure RBAC). Azure Storage defines a set of Azure built-in roles that encompass common sets of permissions used to
access blob data.
When an Azure role is assigned to an Azure AD security principal, Azure grants access to those resources for that security
principal. An Azure AD security principal may be a user, a group, an application service principal, or a managed identity for
Azure resources.
Scenario:
To access the resources in Azure, App1 must use the managed identity of the virtual machines that will host the app.
The Litware.com tenant contains a custom Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) role named Role1 that grants the
DataActions read permission to the blobs and files in Azure Storage.
Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements:
On-premises users and services must be able to access the Azure Storage account that will host the data in App1.

You need to ensure that users managing the production environment are registered for Azure MFA and must authenticate by
using Azure MFA when they sign in to the Azure portal. The solution must meet the authentication and authorization
requirements.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Azure AD Identity Protection
Azure AD Identity Protection helps you manage the roll-out of Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) registration by
configuring a Conditional Access policy to require MFA registration no matter what modern authentication app you are
signing in to.
Scenario: Users that manage the production environment by using the Azure portal must connect from a hybrid Azure AD-
joined device and authenticate by using Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Box 2: Sign-in risk policy...
Scenario: The Litware.com tenant has a conditional access policy named capolicy1. Capolicy1 requires that when users
manage the Azure subscription for a production environment by using the Azure portal, they must connect from a hybrid
Azure AD-joined device.
Identity Protection policies we have two risk policies that we can enable in our directory. Sign-in risk policy User risk
policy

Question 4 Topic 1, Case Study 1Case Study Question View Case
You plan to migrate App1 to Azure.
You need to recommend a network connectivity solution for the Azure Storage account that will host the App1 data. The
solution must meet the security and compliance requirements.
What should you include in the recommendation?
- A. a private endpoint
- B. a service endpoint that has a service endpoint policy
- C. Azure public peering for an ExpressRoute circuit
- D. Microsoft peering for an ExpressRoute circuit
Answer:
D
Explanation:
By default, Azure service resources secured to virtual networks aren't reachable from on-premises networks. If you want to
allow traffic from on-premises, you must also allow public (typically, NAT) IP addresses from your on-premises or
ExpressRoute. You can add these IP addresses through the IP firewall configuration for Azure service resources.
You can use ExpressRoute for public peering and Microsoft peering.
Scenario:
On-premises users and services must be able to access the Azure Storage account that will host the data in App1.
Access to the public endpoint of the Azure Storage account that will host the App1 data must be prevented.
Incorrect Answers:
C: Public Peering is deprecated for new circuits.

Question 5 Topic 1, Case Study 1Case Study Question View Case
You plan to migrate App1 to Azure. The solution must meet the authentication and authorization requirements.
Which type of endpoint should App1 use to obtain an access token?
- A. Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS)
- B. Azure AD
- C. Azure Service Management
- D. Microsoft identity platform
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Scenario: To access the resources in Azure, App1 must use the managed identity of the virtual machines that will host the
app.
Managed identities provide an identity for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Azure Active
Directory (Azure AD) authentication. Applications may use the managed identity to obtain Azure AD tokens.

DRAG DROP
You need to configure an Azure policy to ensure that the Azure SQL databases have TDE enabled. The solution must meet
the security and compliance requirements.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the
answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Scenario: All Azure SQL databases in the production environment must have Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled.
Step 1: Create an Azure policy definition that uses the deployIfNotExists identity.
The first step is to define the roles that deployIfNotExists and modify needs in the policy definition to successfully deploy the
content of your included template.
Step 2: Create an Azure policy assignment
When creating an assignment using the portal, Azure Policy both generates the managed identity and grants it the roles
defined in roleDefinitionIds.
Step 3: Invoke a remediation task
Resources that are non-compliant to a deployIfNotExists or modify policy can be put into a compliant state through
Remediation. Remediation is accomplished by instructing Azure Policy to run the deployIfNotExists effect or the modify
operations of the assigned policy on your existing resources and subscriptions, whether that assignment is to a management
group, a subscription, a resource group, or an individual resource.
During evaluation, the policy assignment with deployIfNotExists or modify effects determines if there are non-compliant
resources or subscriptions. When non-compliant resources or subscriptions are found, the details are provided on the
Remediation page.

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:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Any new deployments to Azure must be redundant in case an Azure region fails.
Traffic Manager uses DNS to direct client requests to the most appropriate service endpoint based on a traffic-routing
method and the health of the endpoints. An endpoint is any Internet-facing service hosted inside or outside of Azure. Traffic
Manager provides a range of traffic-routing methods and endpoint monitoring options to suit different application needs and
automatic failover models. Traffic Manager is resilient to failure, including the failure of an entire Azure region.
Box 2: Yes
Recent changes in Azure brought some significant changes in autoscaling options for Azure Web Apps (i.e. Azure App
Service to be precise as scaling happens on App Service plan level and has effect on all Web Apps running in that App
Service plan).
Box 3: No
Traffic Manager provides a range of traffic-routing methods and endpoint monitoring options to suit different application
needs and automatic failover models. Traffic Manager is resilient to failure, including the failure of an entire Azure region.
