    Study Notes

    Azure Support Plans

    • Basic - Allows new support requests to be opened
    • Developer - Allows new support requests to be opened
    • Standard - Allows new support requests to be opened
    • Professional Direct - Allows new support requests to be opened and also allows for an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft.

    Geo-Clustering and Azure Storage Redundancy

    • Geo-clustered sites require data to be stored on multiple nodes in separate geographic locations.
    • Read-only geo-redundant storage satisfies this requirement by allowing data to be stored on multiple nodes in separate locations and enabling reads from both primary and secondary locations.

    Azure Cloud Deployment Solutions

    • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the appropriate solution for deploying Azure virtual machines
    • Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) are not appropriate for deploying Azure virtual machines.

    Azure Web Tier Plans

    • Standard web plan meets the following requirements:
      • Uses custom domains
      • Requires 10 GB of storage per web app
      • Runs in dedicated compute instances
      • Includes load balancing
      • Minimizes costs

    Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Subscription Management

    • Azure subscriptions can be segmented by using resource groups.
    • Multiple Azure AD directories are not necessary to segment an Azure deployment for different divisions.

    Azure Expenditure Models

    • Migrating virtual machines to Azure pay-as-you-go subscription uses the operational expenditure model.
    • The elastic expenditure model and scalable expenditure model are not applicable in this scenario.

    Azure Subscription Quotas

    • When you encounter a quota limit for an Azure resource, you should create a new support request to increase the limit.

    Azure Virtual Machine Storage

    • Azure Containers are the core of the virtual disk platform.
    • Both OS and data disks in Azure virtual machines are stored as VHDs in Azure Storage as page blobs.

    Network Segmentation for Azure Virtual Machines

    • To satisfy compliance policy requirements for separating a server (e.g., FinServer) on a dedicated network segment, create:
      • A virtual network for FinServer
      • A separate virtual network for all other servers

    Quota Limits and the Azure Portal

    • To request an increase to a subscription quota limit, use the Support blade in the Azure portal.

    Azure Availability Zones

    • Azure Availability Zones are designed to protect against failures within a single Azure data center.

    Azure Virtual Machine Deployment Availability

    • To ensure service availability in case of a single data center failure, deploy virtual machines to multiple resource groups or a scale set.

    Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Tenants and Subscriptions

    • Multiple Azure AD tenants can be associated with a single Azure subscription.
    • An Azure subscription's associated Azure AD tenant is not deleted automatically when the subscription expires.

    Azure Support Plans and Customer Support Options

    • Premier, Standard, and Basic support plans all provide options to access support engineers by phone or email.
