Microsoft Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions Sample Questions:
DRAG DROP
You deploy an application as a cloud service to Azure. The application contains a web role to convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The application does not correctly convert temperatures.
You must use Microsoft Visual Studio to determine why the application does not correctly convert temperatures. You need to debug the source code in Azure.
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.

Explanation:
Step 1:
To debug a cloud service from a remote machine, you must enable that functionality explicitly when you deploy your cloud service so that required services (msvsmon.exe, for example) are installed on the virtual machines that run your role instances.
You can choose the Release configuration.
Step 2:
If you didn't enable remote debugging when you published the service, you have to republish the service with remote debugging enabled.
Step 3:
If you debug a role, the Visual Studio debugger attaches to each instance of that role.

HOTSPOT
You need to design a data storage strategy for each application.
In the table below, identify the strategy that you should use for each application. Make only one selection in each column.

Explanation:
* Scenario:
/ HRApp
The company has a human resources (HR) application named HRApp that stores data in an on-premises SQL Server database.
The data must remain on-premises and cannot be stored in the cloud.
The human resources data is used by all business offices, and each office requires access to the entire database.
/ Metrics application
Data is stored on an on-premises SQL Server database, but this data should be moved to the cloud.
You are designing a Windows Azure application. Messages will be placed into a Windows
Azure Queue and then processed by a worker role. There is no requirement for adherence to the Windows Azure Service Level Agreement (SLA).
You need to recommend an approach for concurrently processing messages while minimizing compute cost. What should you recommend?
- A. A single role instance with multithreaded request processing
- B. Multiple role instances that process messages individually
- C. Multiple role instances, each with multithreaded request processing
- D. A single role instance that processes messages individually
Explanation: Only visible for ActualPDF members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You manage a set of virtual machines (VMs) deployed to the cloud service named fabrikamVM. You configure auto scaling according to the following parameters:
* With an instance range of two to six instances
* To maintain CPU usage between 70 and 80 percent
* To scale up one instance at a time
* With a scale up wait time of 30 minutes
* To scale down one instance at a time
* With a scale down wait time of 30 minutes
You discover the following usage pattern of a specific application:
* The application peaks very quickly, and the peak lasts for several hours.
* CPU usage stays above 90 percent for the first 1 to 1.5 hours after usage increases. After
1 .5 hours, the CPU usage falls to about 75 percent until application usage begins to decline.
You need to modify the auto scaling configuration to scale up faster when usage peaks.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
- A. Increase the number of scale up instances.
- B. Increase the scale up wait time.
- C. Increase the maximum number of instances
- D. Decrease the scale down wait time.
- E. Decrease the scale up wait time.
DRAG DROP
You are developing an application that will send push notifications to registered devices.
You perform the following actions:
*set up a notification hub with the correct push credentials
*register the device application with the platform notification system and the hub
*update the back-end to send notifications.
You need to debug push notifications by sending test notifications to registered devices in a controlled way.
For each action, which tool should you implement? To answer, drag the appropriate tool to the correct action. Each tool may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
