Question 1

For an upcoming rollout at Northwind Traders, the security team needs to identify the feature or practice that best addresses this need: describe microsoft entra id and microsoft entra domain services. Which response is most appropriate if the solution should also reduce security risk? The team will validate the decision with operational evidence after rollout.

Choose App Service or another managed web platform for managed application hosting, containers for portable packaged workloads, and VMs when OS-level control is required
Microsoft Entra ID provides cloud identity and access management; Microsoft Entra Domain Services supplies managed domain capabilities such as domain join, LDAP, Kerberos, and NTLM for compatible workloads
Resources belong to resource groups, resource groups belong to subscriptions, and subscriptions can be organized under management groups

Question 34

Alpine Ski House is reviewing a production configuration. The IT operations team must choose the most accurate administrative approach for this requirement: describe authentication methods including sso mfa and passwordless. Which choice most directly satisfies the requirement while trying to apply the narrowest effective control? The implementation should avoid adding a control that does not address the stated constraint.

Virtual machines provide OS-level control, containers package applications with lightweight isolation, and functions provide event-driven serverless execution
Azure VMs typically depend on compute sizing, disks, networking such as NICs and virtual networks, and optionally public IP or load-balancing resources
SSO reduces repeated sign-ins, MFA requires additional authentication factors, and passwordless methods replace passwords with stronger credentials such as passkeys or authenticator-based methods
Azure virtual networks provide private IP networking with subnets; peering connects VNets, Azure DNS resolves names, VPN Gateway provides encrypted VPN connectivity, and ExpressRoute provides private dedicated connectivity
Blob storage is optimized for object data, Azure Files provides managed file shares, queues support messaging, tables provide NoSQL key-value style storage, and managed disks support Azure VMs
