A few more sample questions
Sample question 1. A company wants its 150 on-premises Windows and Linux servers monitored with the same data collection rules, alerts, and workbooks that it uses for Azure virtual machines, all managed from the Azure portal. Which approach should the architect recommend?
- Install the legacy Log Analytics agent on each server and connect it to the workspace with the workspace ID and key.
- Onboard the servers to Azure Arc and deploy the Azure Monitor Agent extension, then associate the existing data collection rules.
- Forward every server’s events to a syslog collector virtual machine in Azure and monitor only that collector.
- Enable VM insights from the Azure portal on each on-premises server directly, without any other onboarding.
Sample question 2. A SaaS provider keeps 5,000 tenants spread across 40 Azure SQL databases, several tenants per database. Large tenants are sometimes moved to their own database as they grow, and the application must always connect each request to the database that currently holds that tenant, without hard-coded connection strings. What should the architect recommend?
- A configuration file in each application instance that maps tenant IDs to connection strings, redeployed after every move
- Place all 40 databases in one elastic pool so that the pool routes each tenant’s requests
- A shard map manager with the Elastic Database client library for data-dependent routing by tenant ID
- A failover group over the 40 databases, with the application connecting through its listener
Sample question 3. A team runs a payment API in a region that has a paired region and keeps its secrets in Azure Key Vault in that region. They ask what happens to the vault if the whole region is unavailable for a long time, and whether they must build replication themselves. What should the architect tell them?
- Nothing replicates automatically, so a second vault kept current by backups is the only option
- Reads and writes continue in the paired region the moment the outage begins
- Zone redundancy already protects the vault from the loss of an entire region
- Contents are replicated to the paired region and Microsoft can fail over, after which the vault is read-only
