[All DP-300 Questions]

You have 20 Azure SQL databases provisioned by using the vCore purchasing model.

You plan to create an Azure SQL Database elastic pool and add the 20 databases.

Which three metrics should you use to size the elastic pool to meet the demands of your workload? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C, E

CE: Estimate the vCores needed for the pool as follows:

For vCore-based purchasing model: MAX(<Total number of DBs X average vCore utilization per DB>, <Number of concurrently peaking DBs X Peak vCore utilization per DB)

A: Estimate the storage space needed for the pool by adding the number of bytes needed for all the databases in the pool.

Wait, are we really using average CPU for sizing? That seems off!

Not sure about geo-replication support being a sizing metric.

I think the number of concurrently peaking databases is crucial too!

I’m a bit confused about the average CPU utilization part. Would option E really help in sizing the pool effectively?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the total size of all the databases might be important too. Maybe option A?

I remember we discussed the importance of CPU utilization, so I think option C could be relevant for sizing the elastic pool.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that the maximum number of concurrent sessions is crucial for performance, so option D seems like a good choice.

Okay, I've got this. The hacker is trying to exploit a software vulnerability to gain admin access and modify the site's configuration. That's a textbook privilege escalation attack. I'm confident this is the correct answer.

I feel like I saw a similar question during practice that emphasized QoS settings. I'm leaning towards option C, but I'm not completely sure about it.
