Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, C, F.

AF: You can monitor key performance metrics for your cloud services in the Azure Management Portal. You can set the level of monitoring to minimal and verbose for each service role, and can customize the monitoring displays. Verbose monitoring data is stored in a storage account, which you can access outside the portal.
C: The service configuration file specifies the number of role instances to deploy for each role in the service, the values of any configuration settings, and the thumbprints for any certificates associated with a role. If the service is part of a Virtual Network, configuration information for the network must be provided in the service configuration file, as well as in the virtual networking configuration file. The default extension for the service configuration file is .cscfg.
The service definition file defines the service model for an application. The file contains the definitions for the roles that are available to a cloud service, specifies the service endpoints, and establishes configuration settings for the service.

Answer

Suggested Answer

Once you have uploaded the compiled package to Azure Storage, you would create a new staging deployment. You can then provide the URL to the development team. Once approved, you would promote the new deployment to production by performing a VIP swap. You can then stop the instance of the old production deployment and keep it at hand in the staging slot.

You upload the VM to Azure.

You need to ensure that you are able to deploy the BGInfo and VMAccess extensions.

What should you do?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

You are uploading a VM to Azure (not provisioning a VM from Azure so therefore needs the VM Agent MSI)

$x.vm.ProvisionGuestAgent

If False -
✑ Install standalone VM Agent
✑ Inform the Azure platform that the VM now has the agent installed
$vm = Get-AzureVM serviceName $svc Name $name $vm.VM.ProvisionGuestAgent = $TRUE Update-AzureVM Name $name -VM $vm.VM -ServiceName
$svc

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B, D.

Adding your virtual machine to an availability set helps your application stay available during network failures, local disk hardware failures, and any planned downtime.
Combine the Azure Load Balancer with an Availability Set to get the most application resiliency. The Azure Load Balancer distributes traffic between multiple virtual machines.
