Answers to the Most Common Questions About Microsoft Engineering Data with Microsoft Cloud Services

Microsoft Engineering Data with Microsoft Cloud Services Sample Questions:

Question 1

You need to copy data from Microsoft Azure SQL Database to Azure Data Lake Store by using Azure Data Factory.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Question 2

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this sections, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You are monitoring user queries to a Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse that has six compute nodes.
You discover that compute node utilization is uneven. The rows_processed column from sys.dm_pdw_workers shows a significant variation in the number of rows being moved among the distributions for the same table for the same query.
You need to ensure that the load is distributed evenly across the compute nodes.
Solution: You change the table to use a column that is not skewed for hash distribution.
Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Question 3

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. For your convenience, the scenario is repeated in each question. Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same in each question in this series.
Start of repeated scenario
You are migrating an existing on-premises data warehouse named LocalDW to Microsoft Azure. You will use an Azure SQL data warehouse named AzureDW for data storage and an Azure Data Factory named AzureDF for extract, transformation, and load (ETL) functions.
For each table in LocalDW, you create a table in AzureDW.
On the on-premises network, you have a Data Management Gateway.
Some source data is stored in Azure Blob storage. Some source data is stored on an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server instance. The instance has a table named Table1.
After data is processed by using AzureDF, the data must be archived and accessible forever. The archived data must meet a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for availability of 99 percent. If an Azure region fails, the archived data must be available for reading always. The storage solution for the archived data must minimize costs.
End of repeated scenario.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence to migrate the on-premises data warehouse to Azure SQL Data Warehouse? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Question 4

What should you do first?

A. Deploy an Azure virtual network gateway.
B. Deploy an Azure local network gateway.
C. From Azure Data Factory, define a data gateway.
D. Create a dataset in Azure Data Factory.

Question 5

You are building a data pipeline that uses Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics.
Alerts are generated when the aggregate of data streaming in from devices during a minute-long window matches the values in a rule.
You need to retrieve the following information:
*The event ID
*The device ID
*The application ID that runs the service
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
