Question 26
You need to recommend an availability strategy for an Azure SQL database. The strategy must meet the following requirements:
* Support failovers that do not require client applications to change their connection strings.
* Replicate the database to a secondary Azure region.
* Support failover to the secondary region.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Question 27
You have an Azure SQL database named DB 1 in the General Purpose service tier.
You need to monitor DB 1 by using SQL Insights.
What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer are
a.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Question 28
You plan to create a table in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
Data in the table will be retained for five years. Once a year, data that is older than five years will be deleted.
You need to ensure that the data is distributed evenly across partitions. The solutions must minimize the amount of time required to delete old data.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL statement? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value 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.

Case Study 5 - ADatum Corporation
Overview
ADatum Corporation is a financial services company that has a main office in New York City.
Existing Environment
Licensing Agreement
ADatum has a Microsoft Volume Licensing agreement that includes Software Assurance.
Network Infrastructure
ADatum has an on-premises datacenter and an Azure subscription named Sub1.
Sub1 contains a virtual network named Network1 in the East US Azure region.
The datacenter is connected to Network1 by using a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN.
Identity Environment
The on-premises network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest.
The forest contains a single domain named corp.adatum.com.
The corp.adatum.com domain syncs with a Microsoft Entra tenant named adatum.com.
Database Environment
The datacenter contains the servers shown in the following table.
DB1 and DB2 are used for transactional and analytical workloads by an application named App1.
App1 runs on Microsoft Entra hybrid joined servers that run Windows Server 2022. App1 uses Kerberos authentication.
DB3 stores compliance data used by two applications named App2 and App3.
DB3 performance is monitored by using Extended Events sessions, with the event_file target set to a file share on a local disk of SVR3.
Resource allocation for DB3 is managed by using Resource Governor.
Requirements
Planned Changes
ADatum plans to implement the following changes:
- Deploy an Azure SQL managed instance named Instance1 to Network1.
- Migrate DB1 and DB2 to Instance1.
- Migrate DB3 to Azure SQL Database.
- Following the migration of DB1 and DB2, hand over database development to remote developers who use Microsoft Entra joined Windows 11 devices.
- Following the migration of DB3, configure the database to be part of an auto-failover group.
Availability Requirements
ADatum identifies the following post-migration availability requirements:
- For DB1 and DB2, offload analytical workloads to a read-only database replica in the same Azure region.
- Ensure that if a regional disaster occurs, DB1 and DB2 can be recovered from backups.
- After the migration, App1 must maintain access to DB1 and DB2.
- For DB3, manage potential performance issues caused by resource demand changes by App2 and App3.
- Ensure that DB3 will still be accessible following a planned failover.
- Ensure that DB3 can be restored if the logical server is deleted.
- Minimize downtime during the migration of DB1 and DB2.
Security Requirements
ADatum identifies the following security requirements for after the migration:
- Ensure that only designated developers who use Microsoft Entra joined Windows 11 devices can access DB1 and DB2 remotely.
- Ensure that all changes to DB3, including ones within individual transactions, are audited and recorded.
Management Requirements
ADatum identifies the following post-migration management requirements:
- Continue using Extended Events to monitor DB3.
- In Azure SQL Database, automate the management of DB3 by using elastic jobs that have database-scoped credentials.
Business Requirements
ADatum identifies the following business requirements:
- Minimize costs whenever possible, without affecting other requirements.
- Minimize administrative effort.
Hotspot Question
You need to recommend which service and target endpoint to use when migrating the databases from SVR1 to Instance1. The solution must meet the availability requirements.
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
