You are evaluating a Windows Azure application.
The application uses one instance of a web role.The role instance size is set to Medium.
The application does not use SQL Azure.
You have the following requirements for scaling the application:
Maximize throughput.
Minimize downtime while scaling.
Increase system resources.
You need to recommend an approach for scaling the application.
What should you recommend?
A.
Set up vertical partitioning.
B.
Set up horizontal partitioning.
C.
Increase the number of role instances.
D.
Change the role instance size to Large.
That obsolete “role” stuff better not be on this exam. This is an old question. “Windows Azure” no longer exists.
I guess that ‘s the most difficult part about this exam. That we’re not so sure if the questions are going to be on ARM or ASM depending on the topic. For example VPN are now fully supported on ARM but that was not the case on November when it was updated, so if they are any question on this exam about VPN are going to be based on the ASM way not the ARM, unless they integrate those new questions in the upcoming days.
so true…studying for a outdated exam with the documentation updated is a pain in the ass.
Web Roles are now a part of “Cloud Services”, but it looks like they are essentially the same (Cloud Services are for custom application stacks).

You can’t scale Web Role machines without redeploying so that rules out D.

Vertical/Horizontal Partitioning are SQL database concepts.
So that leaves C.
