Question #32
HOTSPOT -
You are developing a C++ application that compiles to a native application named process.exe. The application accepts images as input and returns images in one of the following image formats: GIF, PNG, or JPEG.
You must deploy the application as an Azure Function.
You need to configure the function and host json files.
How should you complete the json files? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:
Box 1: "type": "http"
Box 2: "customHandler": { "description":{
A custom handler is defined by configuring the host.json file with details on how to run the web server via the customHandler section.
The customHandler section points to a target as defined by the defaultExecutablePath.
Example:
"customHandler": {
"description": {
"defaultExecutablePath": "handler.exe"
Box 3: "enableForwardingHttpRequest": false
Incorrect:
For HTTP-triggered functions with no additional bindings or outputs, you may want your handler to work directly with the HTTP request and response instead of the custom handler request and response payloads. This behavior can be configured in host.json using the enableForwardingHttpRequest setting.
At the root of the app, the host.json file is configured to run handler.exe and enableForwardingHttpRequest is set to true.

Question #33
HOTSPOT -
You are implementing a software as a service (SaaS) ASP.NET Core web service that will run as an Azure Web App. The web service will use an on-premises
SQL Server database for storage. The web service also includes a WebJob that processes data updates. Four customers will use the web service.
✑ Each instance of the WebJob processes data for a single customer and must run as a singleton instance.
✑ Each deployment must be tested by using deployment slots prior to serving production data.
✑ Azure costs must be minimized.
✑ Azure resources must be located in an isolated network.
You need to configure the App Service plan for the Web App.
How should you configure the App Service plan? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:
Number of VM instances: 4 -
You are not charged extra for deployment slots.
Pricing tier: Isolated -
The App Service Environment (ASE) is a powerful feature offering of the Azure App Service that gives network isolation and improved scale capabilities. It is essentially a deployment of the Azure App Service into a subnet of a customer's Azure Virtual Network (VNet).

Question #34
DRAG DROP -
You are a developer for a software as a service (SaaS) company that uses an Azure Function to process orders. The Azure Function currently runs on an Azure
Function app that is triggered by an Azure Storage queue.
You are preparing to migrate the Azure Function to Kubernetes using Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling (KEDA).
You need to configure Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) for the Azure Function.
Which CRDs should you configure? To answer, drag the appropriate CRD types to the correct locations. Each CRD type 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.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:
Box 1: Deployment -
To deploy Azure Functions to Kubernetes use the func kubernetes deploy command has several attributes that directly control how our app scales, once it is deployed to Kubernetes.
Box 2: ScaledObject -
With --polling-interval, we can control the interval used by KEDA to check Azure Service Bus Queue for messages.
Example of ScaledObject with polling interval
apiVersion: keda.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: ScaledObject
metadata:
name: transformer-fn
namespace: tt
labels:
deploymentName: transformer-fn
spec:
scaleTargetRef:
deploymentName: transformer-fn
pollingInterval: 5
minReplicaCount: 0
maxReplicaCount: 100
Box 3: Secret -
Store connection strings in Kubernetes Secrets.
Example: to create the Secret in our demo Namespace:
# create the k8s demo namespace
kubectl create namespace tt
# grab connection string from Azure Service Bus
KEDA_SCALER_CONNECTION_STRING=$(az servicebus queue authorization-rule keys list \
-g $RG_NAME \
--namespace-name $SBN_NAME \
--queue-name inbound \
-n keda-scaler \
--query "primaryConnectionString" \
-o tsv)
# create the kubernetes secret
kubectl create secret generic tt-keda-auth \
--from-literal KedaScaler=$KEDA_SCALER_CONNECTION_STRING \
--namespace tt

Correct Answer:
Box 1: az appservice plan create
The azure group creates command successfully returns JSON result. Now we can use resource group to create a azure app service plan

Create a new web app..
Box 3: --plan $webappname -
..with the serviceplan we created in step 1.
Box 4: az webapp deployment -
Continuous Delivery with GitHub. Example:
az webapp deployment source config --name firstsamplewebsite1 --resource-group websites--repo-url $gitrepo --branch master --git-token $token
Box 5: --repo-url $gitrepo --branch master --manual-integration
