Discuss Microsoft AZ-305 Exam Topic 3 Question 5

You plan to move a web application named App1 from an on-premises data center to Azure.

App1 depends on a custom COM component that is installed on the host server.

You need to recommend a solution to host App1 in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements:

App1 must be available to users if an Azure data center becomes unavailable.

Costs must be minimized.

What should you include in the recommendation?

AIn two Azure regions, deploy a load balancer and a virtual machine scale set.

BIn two Azure regions, deploy a Traffic Manager profile and a web app.

CIn two Azure regions, deploy a load balancer and a web app.

DDeploy a load balancer and a virtual machine scale set across two availability zones.

Suggested Answer: D

(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/azure/migration/app-service#com-and-com-components)

Azure App Service does not allow the registration of COM components on the platform. If your app makes use of any COM components, these need to be rewritten in managed code and deployed with the site or application. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/azure/migration/app-service

'Azure App Service with Windows Containers If your app cannot be migrated directly to App Service, consider App Service using Windows Containers, which enables usage of the GAC, COM components, MSIs, full access to .NET FX APIs, DirectX, and more.'

D is the most cost-effective way to ensure uptime.

Wait, can we even run COM components in Azure?

Hollis 1 year ago

C won't work since it doesn't support the COM component.

I think B is a better choice for web apps.

Helga 1 year ago

Option A seems solid for high availability.

I recall that using Traffic Manager can help with failover, but I'm not sure if it meets the requirement for the custom COM component. I think I need to review that part again.

I’m a bit confused about the web app versus virtual machines. I thought COM components needed a VM, but I’m not entirely sure how that fits with the options.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to consider availability zones. I think option D might be the right approach since it mentions both load balancer and scale set.

Chara 1 year ago

I remember we discussed the importance of redundancy in Azure, so I think deploying across two regions is key. But I'm not sure if a load balancer is the best choice here.

This looks like a straightforward question about project management terminology. I should be able to identify the missing word based on my knowledge of the project initiation process.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is using the setfacl command with the -m option to modify the ACL and specify the user, permissions, and file path. I'm feeling good about this one.

I think Option B might be the one, but I recall there were specific instructions about preserving communities that could trip me up.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The office space is used equally by the sales and accounting departments, so I need to figure out how to split the costs.
