Study Notes
Azure VM Tagging and Resource Group Management
- Associate virtual machines (VMs) with departments by using tags for effective resource organization.
- Tags add metadata to resources without needing separate resource groups for each department.
Azure AD Conditional Access Policy
- Conditional access policy can require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Global Administrators from untrusted locations.
- Accessing the MFA settings page or altering session controls does not meet policy requirements; modifications must include specific device conditions.
- Correctly altering the grant control in the conditional access policy satisfies the requirements for Global Administrators to use MFA.
Deploying Ubuntu Server VM
- Use the Create-AzVM cmdlet to deploy an Ubuntu Server VM with a custom root certification authority.
- The custom data is provided through cloud-init via the --custom-data parameter during deployment.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Settings
- The Per Authentication option is set for MFA usage, but switching to the Per Enabled User setting requires creating a new MFA provider.
- Reconfiguring the existing provider via the Azure portal or CLI does not suffice due to restrictions on changing the usage model.
User Account Replication to Azure AD
- To immediately replicate a user account from on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD, use the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial command.
- Restarting the NetLogon service or using Active Directory Sites and Services to force replication does not achieve the desired immediate replication.
Azure Storage Redundancy Options
- Read-only geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) is suitable for scenarios where data must be stored across multiple nodes in geographically separate locations, allowing read access from both primary and secondary nodes.
- Azure storage redundancy ensures data availability and resilience across data centers.
Reviewing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates
- To review ARM templates used for deployments, access the Resource Group blade rather than the Virtual Machine blade.
- The deployment history within the resource group provides insights into the ARM templates used and their configurations.### Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates
- ARM templates specify the parameters for deployment, including storage accounts and virtual machines.
- Review of ARM templates is best done through the Resource Group blade, not the Container blade.
Virtual Machines in Availability Sets
- To resize a VM within an availability set, all VMs in that set must be stopped to ensure they use the same physical hardware; an allocation failure will occur if just one VM is stopped.
Attaching Data Disks
- To attach a data disk to another VM while minimizing downtime, the VM containing the data disk should be stopped first.
Fault Domain Count
- Maximum number of fault domains in managed availability sets is region-dependent (2 or 3).
- Configure the platformFaultDomainCount to its maximum value to optimize VM accessibility during fabric failure or maintenance.
Update Domain Count
- Each VM in an availability set is assigned update domains and can have up to 20 update domains for Resource Manager deployments.
- Configuring the platformUpdateDomainCount property correctly allows for optimal VM maintenance and accessibility.
Handling Passwords in ARM Templates
- Use Azure Key Vault to store sensitive information like passwords, preventing them from being stored in plain text within ARM template files.
Custom Scripts for VMs
- Implement a SetupComplete.cmd batch file to execute scripts on newly created VMs for customization and configuration post-deployment.
Uploading VHDs to Azure
- Use the Add-AzVhd PowerShell cmdlet to upload on-premises VHDs to Azure Blob Storage for creating new Azure VMs.
Hyper-V Replication to Azure
- Proper configuration is required to replicate a VM from an on-premises Hyper-V environment to Azure, involving specific object creation.
VPN Connections and Peering
- Ensure VPN connection settings are correct for users to access resources across different virtual networks.
- Downloading and reinstalling the VPN client configuration on workstations can resolve connection issues to peered networks.
Key Concepts for AZ-104 Exam
- Understanding of ARM templates, VM operations in availability sets, disk management, Azure AD hybrid setups, and VPN configurations are crucial for deploying and managing Azure resources effectively.### VPN Configurations for Remote Access
- A Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN allows secure connections for individual client computers to a virtual network.
- Community consensus indicates P2S VPN is the preferred choice for remote worker access (93% support).
Azure SQL Server Always On Availability Group
- Configuration of an Azure internal load balancer requires proper health probe settings.
- An HTTP health probe on port 1433 is insufficient for listener configuration (100% agreement on the solution being incorrect).
- Session persistence set to Client IP does not meet listener requirements (63% disagree).
- Enabling Floating IP is a valid solution for setting up the internal load balancer as a listener (79% support).
Static Internal IP Configuration for Azure VMs
- To configure static internal IP addresses for Azure virtual machines, use Set-AzureStaticVNetIP PowerShell cmdlet.
- Updating a VM with a static IP requires the VM to restart during the update process.
Azure Security and Network Configuration
- Each virtual machine (VM) can be deployed with a public and private IP address using only one network interface, minimizing resources (95% support).
- A single security group can manage inbound and outbound rules for multiple VMs, providing streamlined management (100% support).
Azure Backup and Recovery Scenarios
- When using Azure Backup Instant Restore, files can only be recovered to the original infected VM (63% support this fact).
- If full VM restoration is needed, it can be done to any VM within the subscription (87% support this option).
Performance Monitoring in Azure
- Azure Monitor is the recommended tool for analyzing performance issues in the Azure infrastructure (100% agreement).
- It features a time-series database optimized for alerting and quick issue detection.
Virtual Machine Backup Support
- Azure Backup supports backup of VMs running Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 or higher, and Debian 8.2+ (90% agreement).
- Backup capabilities include both online and offline VMs.
Guest User Accounts in Azure Active Directory
- The New-AzureADUser cmdlet does not create guest accounts; use New-AzureADMSInvitation instead to invite external users (91% agree).
- Bulk user creation operations in Azure AD also cannot create guest accounts directly (92% support this).
Azure Load Balancer Management
- Assign the Network Contributor role to administrators needing to manage both internal and public load balancers.
- This role aligns with the principle of least privilege, ensuring appropriate access without excess permissions.
Azure Kubernetes Service Access Management
- Enabling user access to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster requires adjustments to organization relationships in Azure AD (proposed solution).
- Proper setup is essential for ensuring that users in Azure AD can be granted access to AKS resources.
Azure AD Conditional Access Policy
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required for Global Administrators from untrusted locations.
- Changing session control does not satisfy the policy requirements (Answer: B).
- Changing grant control may satisfy the policy requirements (Answer: C).
Resizing Azure VMs in Availability Sets
- All VMs in an availability set must be stopped before resizing any VM requiring different hardware.
- This ensures all VMs use the same physical hardware cluster.
Attaching Data Disks to Azure VMs
- First action to take is stopping the VM that contains the data disk (Correct Answer: A).
- This minimizes downtime when attaching disks to another Azure VM.
Azure Availability Set Update Domains
- Default configuration includes five non-user-configurable update domains.
- Resource Manager deployments can extend this to a maximum of 20 update domains.
ARM Template and Azure Key Vault
- Use ARM templates to deploy VMs while securing passwords through Azure Key Vault to prevent plain text visibility.
- This enhances security for sensitive information like administrative passwords.
Reviewing ARM Templates
- Access Resource Group blade to review ARM templates used in VM deployments.
- Check deployment history for operations and parameter values.
Tools for Performance Issue Diagnosis in Azure
- Azure Monitor is essential for identifying metrics-related performance issues.
- Metrics are stored in a time-series database optimizing for alerting and quick detection.
Azure Backup and Recovery Services Vault
- Azure Backup supports backups for multiple VM types:
- Windows 10 and Windows Server (2012 or higher) can be backed up.
- Debian VMs (version 7.9 and above) are also supported.
- Backups can be scheduled for both running and shut down VMs.
