Question 1 Topic 4, Describe an analytics workload on Azure

HOTSPOT
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Answer:

Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Compute is separate from storage, which enables you to scale compute independently of the data in your system.
Box 2: Yes
You can use the Azure portal to pause and resume the dedicated SQL pool compute resources.
Pausing the data warehouse pauses compute. If your data warehouse was paused for the entire hour, you will not be
charged compute during that hour.
Box 3: No
Storage is sold in 1 TB allocations. If you grow beyond 1 TB of storage, your storage account will automatically grow to 2
TBs.

Question 5 Topic 4, Describe an analytics workload on Azure

DRAG DROP
Match the types of workloads to the appropriate scenarios.
To answer, drag the appropriate workload type from the column on the left to its scenario on the right. Each workload type
may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Answer:

Explanation:
Box 1: Batch
The batch processing model requires a set of data that is collected over time while the stream processing model requires
data to be fed into an analytics tool, often in micro-batches, and in real-time.
The batch Processing model handles a large batch of data while the Stream processing model handles individual records or
micro-batches of few records. In Batch Processing, it processes over all or most of the data but in Stream Processing, it
processes over data on a rolling window or most recent record.

Question 7 Topic 4, Describe an analytics workload on Azure

What is the primary purpose of a data warehouse?

  • A. to provide answers to complex queries that rely on data from multiple sources
  • B. to provide transformation services between source and target data stores
  • C. to provide read-only storage of relational and non-relational historical data
  • D. to provide storage for transactional line-of-business (LOB) applications
Answer:

C

Explanation:
Consider using a data warehouse when you need to keep historical data separate from the source transaction systems for
performance reasons. Data warehouses make it easy to access historical data from multiple locations, by providing a
centralized location using common formats, keys, and data models.
Query both relational and nonrelational data.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Data warehouses don't need to follow the same terse data structure you may be using in your OLTP databases.
