Microsoft Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions Set 2

You are designing a plan for testing a Windows Azure service. The service runs in the development fabric but fails on Windows Azure.
You need to recommend an approach for identifying errors that occur when the service runs on Windows Azure. What should you recommend?

You are designing a Windows Azure web application. The application will be accessible at a standard cloudapp.net URL. You need to recommend a DNS resource
record type that will allow you to configure access to the application through a custom domain name. Which type should you recommend?

You are designing a plan to migrate an existing application to Windows Azure. The application currently resides on a server that has 20 GB of hard disk space.
You need to recommend the smallest compute instance size that provides local storage equivalent to that of the existing server. Which size should you
recommend?

An application currently resides on an on-premises virtual machine that has 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 20 GB of hard disk space, and a 10 megabit/second
network connection. You plan to migrate the application to Azure. You have the following requirements:
- You must not make changes to the application.

- You must minimize the costs for hosting the application.
You need to recommend the appropriate virtual machine instance type. Which virtual machine tier should you recommend?

You are designing an Azure web application that includes many static content files. The application is accessed from locations all over the world by using a custom domain name. You need to recommend an approach for providing access to the static content with the least amount of latency. Which two actions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

You are designing an Azure development environment. Team members learn Azure development techniques by training in the development environment. The
development environment must auto scale and load balance additional virtual machine (VM) instances.
You need to recommend the most cost-effective compute-instance size that allows team members to work with Azure in the development environment. What
should you recommend?

You are designing an Azure application that provides online backup storage for hundreds of media files. Each file is larger than 1GB. The data storage solution has
the following requirements:
- It must be capable of storing an average of 1TB of data for each user.
- It must support sharing of data between all Windows Azure instances.
- It must provide random read/write access.
You need to recommend a durable data storage solution. What should you recommend?

You are designing an Azure web application. All users must authenticate by using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) credentials. You need to recommend an approach to enable single sign-on to the application for domain-authenticated users. Which two actions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

You need to recommend a solution for publishing one of the company websites to Azure and configuring it for remote debugging. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

You need to ensure that the website scales. What should you do?
