Microsoft Updated DP-300 Exam Questions and Answers by jorgie

Box 1: The server, the elastic pool, and the database

Senario:

SalesSQLDb1 is in an elastic pool named SalesSQLDb1Pool.

Litware technical requirements include: all SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality.

Box 2: Azure Event hubs

Scenario: Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform.

Event hubs are able to handle custom metrics.

Basic Concept: This question tests Azure monitoring and performance management, including which metric, log destination, or alerting behavior fits the operational requirement.

Why the selected answer is Correct: The selected values fit this scenario because they apply the required Azure SQL configuration at the correct scope and sequence: You need to implement the monitoring of SalesSQLDb1.

Why the alternate choices are Wrong: The alternate destinations or collection scopes miss part of the telemetry requirement: they either omit the server/pool/database layer or send data somewhere that does not support the requested analysis path.

Scenario: Business Requirements

Litware identifies business requirements include: meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments.

Box 1: Cloud witness

If you have a Failover Cluster deployment, where all nodes can reach the internet (by extension of Azure), it is recommended that you configure a Cloud Witness as your quorum witness resource.

Box 2: Azure Basic Load Balancer

Microsoft guarantees that a Load Balanced Endpoint using Azure Standard Load Balancer, serving two or more Healthy Virtual Machine Instances, will be available 99.99% of the time.

Note: There are two main options for setting up your listener: external (public) or internal. The external (public) listener uses an internet facing load balancer and is associated with a public Virtual IP (VIP) that is accessible over the internet. An internal listener uses an internal load balancer and only supports clients within the same Virtual Network.

Basic Concept: This question tests plan and configure a high availability and disaster recovery (ha/dr) environment in the DP-300 exam context. The correct choice is determined by the exact service boundary and operational requirement stated in the scenario.

Why B is Correct: For each customer, create an additional schema and grant the customer ddl_admin to the new schema. matches the expected DP-300 administration action. For each customer, create an additional schema and grant the customer ddl_admin to the new schema. is part of the availability or recovery design space, but the correct choice must satisfy the specified failover, restore, quorum, RPO, or RTO requirement. The question is not asking for a general Azure capability; it is asking for the feature that produces this result: You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the customers can create the database objects.

Why A is Wrong: For each customer, grant the customer ddl_admin to the existing schema. is part of the availability or recovery design space, but the correct choice must satisfy the specified failover, restore, quorum, RPO, or RTO requirement. It handles a different resilience pattern and would not deliver the failover or recovery behavior required here.

Why C is Wrong: For each customer, create an additional schema and grant the customer db_writerto the new schema. is part of the availability or recovery design space, but the correct choice must satisfy the specified failover, restore, quorum, RPO, or RTO requirement. It does not meet the failover, restore, quorum, or cross-region continuity target stated in the question, even if it is valid in a different availability design.

Why D is Wrong: For each customer, grant the customer db_writerto the existing schema. is part of the availability or recovery design space, but the correct choice must satisfy the specified failover, restore, quorum, RPO, or RTO requirement. It handles a different resilience pattern and would not deliver the failover or recovery behavior required here.
