Scenario: Business Requirements
Litware identifies business requirements include: meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments.
Box 1: Cloud witness
If you have a Failover Cluster deployment, where all nodes can reach the internet (by extension of Azure), it is recommended that you configure a Cloud Witness as your quorum witness resource.
Box 2: Azure Basic Load Balancer
Microsoft guarantees that a Load Balanced Endpoint using Azure Standard Load Balancer, serving two or more Healthy Virtual Machine Instances, will be available 99.99% of the time.
Note: There are two main options for setting up your listener: external (public) or internal. The external (public) listener uses an internet facing load balancer and is associated with a public Virtual IP (VIP) that is accessible over the internet. An internal listener uses an internal load balancer and only supports clients within the same Virtual Network.

NEW QUESTION 24
You receive numerous alerts from Azure Monitor for an Azure SQL database.
You need to reduce the number of alerts. You must only receive alerts if there is a significant change in usage patterns for an extended period.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Set Force Plan to On
- B. Set Threshold Sensitivity to High
- C. Set Threshold Sensitivity to Low
- D. Set the Alert logic threshold to Dynamic
- E. Set the Alert logic threshold to Static
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
B: Dynamic Thresholds continuously learns the data of the metric series and tries to model it using a set of algorithms and methods. It detects patterns in the data such as seasonality (Hourly / Daily / Weekly), and is able to handle noisy metrics (such as machine CPU or memory) as well as metrics with low dispersion (such as availability and error rate).
D: Alert threshold sensitivity is a high-level concept that controls the amount of deviation from metric behavior required to trigger an alert.
Low - The thresholds will be loose with more distance from metric series pattern. An alert rule will only trigger on large deviations, resulting in fewer alerts.
Incorrect Answers:
A: High - The thresholds will be tight and close to the metric series pattern. An alert rule will be triggered on the smallest deviation, resulting in more alerts.

NEW QUESTION 27
You need to implement the surrogate key for the retail store table. The solution must meet the sales transaction dataset requirements.
What should you create?
- A. a user-defined SEQUENCE object
- B. a table the has an IDENTITY property
- C. a system-versioned temporal table
- D. a table that has a FOREIGN KEY constraint
Answer: B
Explanation:
Scenario: Contoso requirements for the sales transaction dataset include:
Implement a surrogate key to account for changes to the retail store addresses.
A surrogate key on a table is a column with a unique identifier for each row. The key is not generated from the table data. Data modelers like to create surrogate keys on their tables when they design data warehouse models. You can use the IDENTITY property to achieve this goal simply and effectively without affecting load performance.

NEW QUESTION 33
You have an Azure SQL database.
Users report that the executions of a stored procedure are slower than usual. You suspect that a regressed
query is causing the performance issue.
You need to view the query execution plan to verify whether a regressed query is causing the issue. The
solution must minimize effort.
What should you use?
- A. Extended Events in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- B. Query Store in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- C. Query Performance Insight in the Azure portal
- D. Performance Recommendations in the Azure portal
Answer: B
Explanation:
Section: [none]
Explanation:
Use the Query Store Page in SQL Server Management Studio.
Query performance regressions caused by execution plan changes can be non-trivial and time consuming to
resolve.
Since the Query Store retains multiple execution plans per query, it can enforce policies to direct the Query
Processor to use a specific execution plan for a query. This is referred to as plan forcing. Plan forcing in Query
Store is provided by using a mechanism similar to the USE PLAN query hint, but it does not require any change
in user applications. Plan forcing can resolve a query performance regression caused by a plan change in a
very short period of time.

NEW QUESTION 34
You have an Azure SQL database. The database contains a table that uses a columnstore index and is accessed infrequently.
You enable columnstore archival compression.
What are two possible results of the configuration? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Queries that use the index will consume more CPU resources.
- B. Queries that use the index will consume more disk I/O.
- C. The index will consume more memory.
- D. Queries that use the index will retrieve fewer data pages.
- E. The index will consume more disk space.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
For rowstore tables and indexes, use the data compression feature to help reduce the size of the database. In addition to saving space, data compression can help improve performance of I/O intensive workloads because the data is stored in fewer pages and queries need to read fewer pages from disk.
Use columnstore archival compression to further reduce the data size for situations when you can afford extra time and CPU resources to store and retrieve the data.
