You have the resources shown in the following table.

CDB1 hosts a container that stores continuously updated operational data
You are designing a solution that will use AS1 to analyze the operational data dairy.
You need to recommend a solution to analyze the data without affecting the performance of the operational data store.
What should you include in the recommendation?

1. A. Azure Data Factory with Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Synapse Analytics connectors
2. B. Azure Synapse Analytics with PolyBase data loading
3. C. Azure Cosmos DB change feed

Correct Answer: B

You have an application named App1. App1 generates log files that must be archived for five years. The log files must be readable by App1 but must not be modified.
Which storage solution should you recommend for archiving?

1. A. Ingest the log files into an Azure Log Analytics workspace
2. B. Use an Azure Blob storage account and a time-based retention policy
3. C. Use an Azure Blob storage account configured to use the Archive access tier
4. D. Use an Azure file share that has access control enabled

Correct Answer: B
Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage enables users to store business-critical data objects in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state.
Immutable storage supports:
Time-based retention policy support: Users can set policies to store data for a specified interval. When a time-based retention policy is set, blobs can be created and read, but not modified or deleted. After the retention period has expired, blobs can be deleted but not overwritten.

You plan to create an Azure Storage account that will host file shares. The shares will be accessed from on-premises applications that are transaction-intensive.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize latency when accessing the file shares. The solution must provide the highest-level of resiliency for the selected storage tier.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Solution:
Box 1: Premium
Premium: Premium file shares are backed by solid-state drives (SSDs) and provide consistent high performance and low latency, within single-digit milliseconds for most IO operations, for IO-intensive workloads.
Box 2: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS):
Premium Azure file shares only support LRS and ZRS.
Zone-redundant storage (ZRS): With ZRS, three copies of each file stored, however these copies are physically isolated in three distinct storage clusters in different Azure availability zones.

Does this meet the goal?

1. A. Yes
2. B. No

Correct Answer: A
