of various event types.
- The events must be filtered by event type before processing.
- Authentication and authorization must be handled by using Microsoft
Entra ID.
- The events must be published to a single endpoint.
You need to implement Azure Event Grid.
Solution: Publish events to a custom topic. Create an event subscription for each customer.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for TestInsides members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You are developing several Azure API Management (APIM) hosted APIs.
The APIs have the following requirements:
- Require a subscription key to access all APIs.
- Include terms of use that subscribers must accept to use the APIs.
- Administrators must review and accept or reject subscription
attempts.
- Limit the count of multiple simultaneous subscriptions.
You need to implement the APIs.
What should you do?
- A. Configure and apply header-based versioning.
- B. Create and publish a product.
- C. Add a new revision to all APIs. Make the revisions current and add a change log entry.
- D. Configure and apply query string-based versioning.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

Drag and Drop Question
You are implementing an Azure solution that uses Azure Cosmos DB and the latest Azure Cosmos DB SDK.
You add a change feed processor to a new container instance.
You attempt to read a batch of 100 documents. The process fails when reading one of the documents. The solution must monitor the progress of the change feed processor instance on the new container as the change feed is read.
You must prevent the change feed processor from retrying the entire batch when one document cannot be read.
You need to implement the change feed processor to read the documents.
Which features should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate features to the cored requirements. Each feature may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each cored selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Change feed estimator
You can use the change feed estimator to monitor the progress of your change feed processor instances as they read the change feed or use the life cycle notifications to detect underlying failures.
Box 2: Dead-letter queue
To prevent your change feed processor from getting "stuck" continuously retrying the same batch of changes, you should add logic in your delegate code to write documents, upon exception, to a dead-letter queue. This design ensures that you can keep track of unprocessed changes while still being able to continue to process future changes. The dead-letter queue might be another Cosmos container. The exact data store does not matter, simply that the unprocessed changes are persisted.

Case Study 5 - Wide World Importers
Background
Wide World Importers is moving all their datacenters to Azure. The company has developed several applications and services to support supply chain operations and would like to leverage serverless computing where possible.
Current environment
Windows Server 2016 virtual machine
This virtual machine (VM) runs Biz Talk Server 2016. The VM runs the following workflows:
* Ocean Transport - This workflow gathers and validates container information including
container contents and arrival notices at various shipping ports.
* Inland Transport - This workflow gathers and validates trucking information including fuel
usage, number of stops, and routes.
The VM supports the following REST API calls:
* Container API - This API provides container information including weight, contents, and other
attributes.
* Location API - This API provides location information regarding shipping ports of call and truck
stops.
* Shipping REST API - This API provides shipping information for use and display on the
shipping website.
Shipping Data
The application uses MongoDB JSON document storage database for all container and transport information.
Shipping Web Site
The site displays shipping container tracking information and container contents. The site is located at http://shipping.wideworldimporters.com Proposed solution The on-premises shipping application must be moved to Azure. The VM has been migrated to a new Standard_D16s_v3 Azure VM by using Azure Site Recovery and must remain running in Azure to complete the BizTalk component migrations. You create a Standard_D16s_v3 Azure VM to host BizTalk Server. The Azure architecture diagram for the proposed solution is shown below:
Shipping Logic App
The Shipping Logic app must meet the following requirements:
* Support the ocean transport and inland transport workflows by using a Logic App.
* Support industry-standard protocol X12 message format for various messages including vessel
content details and arrival notices.
* Secure resources to the corporate VNet and use dedicated storage resources with a fixed
costing model.
* Maintain on-premises connectivity to support legacy applications and final BizTalk migrations.
Shipping Function app
Implement secure function endpoints by using app-level security and include Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
REST APIs
The REST API's that support the solution must meet the following requirements:
* Secure resources to the corporate VNet.
* Allow deployment to a testing location within Azure while not incurring additional costs.
* Automatically scale to double capacity during peak shipping times while not causing application
downtime.
* Minimize costs when selecting an Azure payment model.
Shipping data
Data migration from on-premises to Azure must minimize costs and downtime.
Shipping website
Use Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) and ensure maximum performance for dynamic content while minimizing latency and costs.
Issues
Windows Server 2016 VM
The VM shows high network latency, jitter, and high CPU utilization. The VM is critical and has not been backed up in the past. The VM must enable a quick restore from a 7-day snapshot to include in-place restore of disks in case of failure.
Shipping website and REST APIs
The following error message displays while you are testing the website:
Hotspot Question
You need to correct the VM issues.
Which tools should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Azure Backup
The VM is critical and has not been backed up in the past. The VM must enable a quick restore from a 7-day snapshot to include in-place restore of disks in case of failure.
In-Place restore of disks in IaaS VMs is a feature of Azure Backup.
Performance: Accelerated Networking
Scenario: The VM shows high network latency, jitter, and high CPU utilization.
Box 2: Accelerated networking
The VM shows high network latency, jitter, and high CPU utilization.
Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, greatly improving its networking performance. This high-performance path bypasses the host from the datapath, reducing latency, jitter, and CPU utilization, for use with the most demanding network workloads on supported VM types.
