Your company hosts an accounting named App1 that is used by all the customers of the company.App1 has low usage during the first three weeks of each month and very high usage during the last week of each month.
Which benefit of Azure Cloud Services supports cost management for this type of usage pattern?
Correct Answer:
C
Elasticity in this case is the ability to provide additional compute resource when needed and reduce the
compute resource when not needed to reduce costs. Autoscaling is an example of elasticity.
Elastic computing is the ability to quickly expand or decrease computer processing, memory and storage resources to meet changing demands without worrying about capacity planning and engineering for peak usage. Typically controlled by system monitoring tools, elastic computing matches the amount of resources allocated to the amount of resources actually needed without disrupting operations. With cloud elasticity, a company avoids paying for unused capacity or idle resources and doesn’t have to worry about investing in the purchase or maintenance of additional resources and equipment.

Which Azure service should you use to correlate events from multiple resources into a centralized repository?
Correct Answer:
A
Azure Event Hubs is a big data streaming platform and event ingestion service. It can receive and process millions of events per second. Data sent to an event hub can be transformed and stored by using any real-time analytics provider or batching/storage adapters.
Azure Event Hubs can be used to ingest, buffer, store, and process your stream in real time to get actionable insights. Event Hubs uses a partitioned consumer model, enabling multiple applications to process the stream concurrently and letting you control the speed of processing.
Azure Event Hubs can be used to capture your data in near-real time in an Azure Blob storage or Azure Data Lake Storagefor long-term retention or micro-batch processing.

Your company has an Azure subscription that contains the following unused resources:
* 20 user accounts in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
* Five groups in Azure AD
* 10 public !P addresses
* 10 network interfaces
You need to reduce the Azure costs for the company. Solution: You remove the unused public IP addresses. Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
A
You are charged for public IP addresses. Therefore, deleting unused public IP addresses will reduce the Azure costs.

You plan to implement several security services for an Azure environment. You need to identify which Azure services must be used to meet the following security requirements:
Monitor threats by using sensors Enforce azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) based on a condition
Which Azure service should you identify for each requirement? To answer, select the appropriate option in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
Box 1:
To monitor threats by using sensors, you would use Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).
Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a cloud-based security solution that leverages your on-premises Active Directory signals to identify, detect, and investigate advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insider actions directed at your organization.
Sensors are software packages you install on your servers to upload information to Azure ATP. Box 2:
To enforce MFA based on a condition, you would use Azure Active Directory Identity Protection.
Azure AD Identity Protection helps you manage the roll-out of Azure 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.
