Which of the following actions should you perform? (Choose all that apply)
A. Create and provide the customer with an Ad-Hoc SAS (Shared Access Signature) for the blob that specifies the start and end dates that the file should be available for.
B. Create a stored access policy on the blob that specifies the start and end dates that the file should be available for.
C. Create a stored access policy on the container that specifies the start and end dates that the file should be available for.
D. Delete the SAS (Shared Access Signature) when the customer has finished with the file.
E. Create and provide the customer with an SAS (Shared Access Signature) based on a stored access policy.
F. Delete the stored access policy when the customer has finished with the file.
G. Create a new SAS (Shared Access Signature) with an expiry date in the past when the customer has finished with the file.

1. Configure Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to cache the files from an Azure blob container.
2. Purchase additional Azure subscriptions.
3. Configure additional endpoints for the website.
4. Increase the number of website instances.


Correct Answer : 1
Explanation: etter performance for your apps and services
Speed matters. Azure Content Delivery Network sends audio, video, applications, images and other files faster and more reliably to customers by using the servers that are closest to
each user. This dramatically increases speed and availability, resulting in significant user experience improvements.


Designed for today's web
Content Delivery Network was specifically designed for the dynamic, media-centric web of today-and its users who expect everything to be fast, high quality and always-on. Built on a
modern network topology of large centralised nodes, Content Delivery Network is backed by massive storage and compute capacity within an agile cloud infrastructure.
Robust security
Content Delivery Network is built on a highly scalable, reverse-proxy architecture with sophisticated DDoS identification and mitigation technologies to protect you, your partners
and your users. We help keep you up and running by identifying, absorbing and blocking security threats.
When the world is watching, Content Delivery Network delivers
Thanks to its distributed global scale, Content Delivery Network handles sudden traffic spikes and heavy loads, like the start of a major product launch or global sporting event,
without new infrastructure costs or capacity worries. Active redundancy and failover support throughout the Content Delivery Network help assure reliability.






Question : Your role of Systems Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the company's private and public clouds. The company has datacenters in Los Angeles and New
York. The company has a Microsoft Azure subscription. You are configuring the two datacenters as geo-clustered sites for site resiliency. You need to recommend an Azure storage
redundancy option. You have the following data storage requirements:
.Data must be stored on multiple nodes.
.Data must be stored on nodes in separate geographic locations.
.Data can be read from the secondary location as well as from the primary location
Which of the following Azure stored redundancy options should you recommend?

4. Locally redundant storage


Correct Answer : 2
Explanation: Read Access Geo Redundant Storage(RA-GRS) is no longer in preview and is Generally Available.

We are excited to announce the ability to allow customers to achieve higher read availability for their data. This preview feature called "Read Access - Geo Redundant Storage
(RA-GRS)" allows you to read an eventually consistent copy of your geo-replicated data from the storage account's secondary region in case of any unavailability to the storage
account's primary region.

Before we dive into the details of this new ability, we will briefly summarize the available redundancy options in Windows Azure Storage. We will then cover in detail each of the
options available including the new option of Read Access - Geo Redundant Storage (RA-GRS) and how one can sign up for this limited preview. We will also cover the storage client
library changes that one can use to achieve higher read availability using RA-GRS.

Redundancy Options in Windows Azure Storage

Windows Azure Storage provides following options for redundancy for Blobs, Tables and Queues:

1. Locally Redundant Storage (LRS): All data in the storage account is made durable by replicating transactions synchronously to three different storage nodes within the same region.
The below section will cover more details on LRS including on how to select LRS.

2. Geo Redundant Storage (GRS): This is the default option for redundancy when a storage account is created. Like LRS, transactions are replicated synchronously to three storage
nodes within the primary region chosen for creating the storage account. However, the transaction is also queued for asynchronous replication to another secondary region (hundreds of
miles away from the primary) where data is again made durable by replicating it to three more storage nodes there. The below section will cover in depth the asynchronous replication
process, information on region pairings and the failover process.

3. Read Access - Geo Redundant Storage (RA-GRS): For a GRS storage account, we now have introduced in limited preview the ability to turn on read only access to a storage account's
data in the secondary region. Since replication to the secondary region is done asynchronously, this provides an eventual consistent version of the data to read from. The below
section will cover more details on RA-GRS, how to enable this in preview mode and details on storage analytics.

Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)

What is LRS?

Locally redundant storage stores multiple copies of your data synchronously within a region for durability. To ensure durability, we replicate the transaction synchronously across
three different storage nodes across different fault domains and upgrade domains. A fault domain (FD) is a group of nodes that represent a physical unit of failure and can be
considered as nodes belonging to the same physical rack. An upgrade domain (UD) is a group of nodes that will be upgraded together during the process of service upgrade (rollout).
The three replicas are spread across UDs and FDs to ensure that data is available even if hardware failure impacts a single rack and when nodes are upgraded during a rollout.

In addition to returning success only when all three replicas are persisted, we store CRCs of the data to ensure correctness and periodically read and validate the CRCs to detect
bit rot (random errors occurring on the disk media over a period of time).
