AZ-303 Exam - Question 214

Question

SIMULATION -Click to expand each objective. To connect to the Azure portal, type https://portal. azure. com in the browser address bar. When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the `˜Next' button. Note that you cannot return to the lab once you click the `˜Next' button. Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam. Overview -The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e. g. , copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design. Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task. Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided. Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab. To start the lab -You may start the lab by clicking the Next button. You need to deploy an Azure virtual machine named VM1004a based on an Ubuntu Server image, and then to configure VM1004a to meet the following requirements:- The virtual machines must contain data disks that can store at least 15 TB of data- The data disk must be able to provide at least 2,000 IOPS- Storage costs must be minimizedWhat should you do from the Azure portal?

To create the virtual machine VM1004a and ensure it meets the requirements, follow these steps: 1. Open the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com. 2. From the left-hand menu, click on 'Create a resource'. 3. In the 'Search the Marketplace' box, type 'Ubuntu Server' and select the version you need (e.g., Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS). 4. Click on 'Create' to start the configuration of the virtual machine. 5. Provide the necessary details for the VM, including the name (VM1004a), and the resource group you want to use. 6. Choose a size for the VM. To support the requirement of at least 2,000 IOPS and 15 TB of data, choose a configuration that allows you to select a Standard SSD or Premium SSD as the disk type. The data disk should be at least 16 TB (16,384 GiB) to accommodate 15 TB of data. The Premium SSD, which can handle more than 2,000 IOPS, will help minimize performance risk. 7. In the Disk configuration, add a data disk with the necessary size (16,384 GiB) and ensure to select either Standard SSD or Premium SSD to meet the IOPS requirement. A Standard SSD will generally be more cost-effective while still fulfilling the performance needs. 8. Complete any remaining required configurations and review the settings. 9. Click 'Review + Create' to validate the configuration and then click on 'Create' to deploy the VM. Monitor the deployment to ensure that it is successfully completed. This setup ensures that the VM VM1004a meets the specified requirements: 15 TB of storage, at least 2,000 IOPS, and optimized cost efficiency.

Aghora · Answer

correction , I would go for standard SSD as HD has a max IOPS of 2000 which means it may be less and would not mean the req at least 2000

MichaelCWWong · Answer

HDD should be used for storing 15GB of data with IOPS 2000 per requirement. Another requirement is to minimize cost.

Aghora · Answer

data disk with 16384 GiB
sku S70
2000 iops

should do the job

Anonymous · Answer

At least = 2000 or more. 
For instance, someone says 'go to the shop and get me at least 1 apple'. You return with one apple because it meets their requirements and you're cheap.
Next day they say 'I'm hungry, go to the shop and get me a maximum of 1 apples'. You could be a dick and come back with no apples, but getting one apple meets the maximum number asked for.
Thus 
At least 2000  = Max 2000
Thus HDD should be used, because the requester is cheap and meets their requirements

PapaLion · Answer

Another important point is the SIZE of the VM otherwise the IOPs of the DATA DISK are limited to the MAXIMUM IOPs of the VM.

haitrinh · Answer

And I think 15TB = 15 000GB = 16 109GiB
So we can use 16 109GiB to instead 16 384 GiB :V

haitrinh · Answer

I think: 
MaxIOPS(HDD) = Y = 2000 
 Y   Y = 2000 is always correct.

X at least 2000  X >= 2000
=> X = 2000 is always correct.

=> X can be equal Y when X = Y = 2000
So I think we can choose HDD. :))

for 15 GB, 2000 IOPS > Go to Data Disk > Create and attach new disk > Size >Change Size >Custom Disk Size > Enter 15 GB > Next Select > Performance Tier> Select P20 (Supports 2300 IOPS) > Click OK

nfett · Answer

going with what Agora noted. pulled this note right of the disk configuration options, it shows that MAX IOPS for SSD is 2000.

donathon · Answer

Need to add a second disk. Standard disk is sufficient to keep the cost as low as possible which is one of the requirement. The size should be 16TiB which satisfy the 15TB requirement.
