HOTSPOT
Background
You are the database administrator for Contoso, Ltd. The company has 200 offices around the world. The
company has corporate executives that are located in offices in London, New York, Toronto, Sydney, and
Tokyo.
Contoso, Ltd. has a Microsoft Azure SQL Database environment. You plan to deploy a new Azure SQL
Database to support a variety of mobile applications and public websites.
The company is deploying a multi-tenant environment. The environment will host Azure SQL Database
instances. The company plans to make the instances available to internal departments and partner companies.
Contoso is in the final stages of setting up networking and communications for the environment.
Existing Contoso and Customer instances need to be migrated to Azure virtual machines (VM) according to the
following requirements:
Contoso instances – should use the method requiring the least administrative effort to migrate instances to
Azure Vms.
Customer instances – should use a method that allows customers to bring their own licenses to Azure VMs.
Customers have approved down time for the migration.
The company plans to deploy a new order entry application and a new business intelligence and analysis
application. Each application will be supported by a new database. Contoso creates a new Azure SQL database
named Reporting. The database will be used to support the company’s financial reporting requirements. Youassociate the database with the Contoso Azure Active Directory domain.
Each location database for the data entry application may have an unpredictable amount of activity. Data must
be replicated to secondary databases in Azure datacenters in different regions.
To support the application, you need to create a database named contosodb1 in the existing environment.
Objects
Database
The contosodb1 database must support the following requirements:
a size of at least 200 gigabytes (GB)
1,000 concurrent sessions
point-in-time restore to any point in the two weeks prior to a failure
minimize costs
Application
For the business intelligence application, corporate executives must be able to view all data in near real-time
with low network latency.
Contoso has the following security, networking, and communications requirements:
Multi-Location Load Balancing – to ensure customers have access to their tenants at multiple Azure
locations across the world.
Secure Message/Data Flow – to securely support communication between Azure and on-premises
applications and services.
Accounts should support accessing external domain resources and be configured in the most secure and
lowest-maintenance way possible, including meeting the company policy of regular service account
password changes.

Box 2: Standard
The maximum database size for the Standard edition is 250 GB, while 200 GB is required
The maximum concurrents sessions for the Standard edition is 1200 for S2 and 2400 for S3, while 1000
concurrent sessions is required.
From the scenario: The contosodb1 database must support the following requirements:
a size of at least 200 gigabytes (GB)
1,000 concurrent sessions
point-in-time restore to any point in the two weeks prior to a failure
minimize costs
Incorrect Answers:Not Basic: The maximum database size for the Basic edition is only 2 GB, while 200 GB is required.
Not Premium: Standard Edition meets the requirements, and Premium would be a more expensive solution.
