You design a solution for the web tier of WebApp1 as shown in the exhibit.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Solution:
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.

You are designing an Azure web app.
You plan to deploy the web app to the North Europe Azure region and the West Europe Azure region. You need to recommend a solution for the web app. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Users must always access the web app from the North Europe region, unless the region fails. 
The web app must be available to users if an Azure region is unavailable. Deployment costs must be minimized.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You have an app named App1 that uses two on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases named DB1 and DB2.
You plan to migrate DB1 and DB2 to Azure.
You need to recommend an Azure solution to host DB1 and DB2. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Support server-side transactions across DB1 and DB2.
• Minimize administrative effort to update the solution. What should you recommend?
Correct Answer:
A
When both the database management system and client are under the same ownership (e.g. when SQL Server is deployed to a virtual machine), transactions are available and the lock duration can be controlled.

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Windows Virtual Desktop tenant.
You need to recommend a solution to meet the following requirements:
Start and stop Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts based on business hours. 
Scale out Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts when required. Minimize compute costs.
What should you include in the recommendation?
Correct Answer:
C

You are designing a solution that will include containerized applications running in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster.
You need to recommend a load balancing solution for HTTPS traffic. The solution must meet the following requirements: Automatically configure load balancing rules as the applications are deployed to the cluster. Support Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF). Support cookie-based affinity. Support URL routing.
What should you include the recommendation?
Correct Answer:
B
Much like the most popular Kubernetes Ingress Controllers, the Application Gateway Ingress Controller provides several features, leveraging Azure’s native Application Gateway L7 load balancer. To name a few: URL routing Cookie-based affinity Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) termination End-to-end SSL Support for public, private, and hybrid web sites Integrated support of Azure web application firewall
Application Gateway redirection support isn't limited to HTTP to HTTPS redirection alone. This is a generic redirection mechanism, so you can redirect from and to any port you define using rules. It also supports redirection to an external site as well.
