Hot Area:

You are designing an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL solution to store data from IoT devices. Writes from the devices will occur every second. Data will be retained indefinitely.

The following is a sample of the data.

You need to select a partition key that meets the following requirements for writes:

• Minimizes the partition skew
• Avoids capacity limits
• Avoids hot partitions

What should you do?

You plan to create an Azure Cosmos DB account that will use the NoSQL API.

You need to create a grouping strategy for items that will be stored in the account. The solution must ensure that write and read operations on the items can be performed within the same transaction.

What should you use to group the items?

You have an Azure Cosmos DB database that contains a container named container1. The container1 container is configured with a maximum of 20,000 RU/s and currently contains 240 GB of data.

You need to estimate the costs of container1 based on the current usage.

How many RU/s will be charged?

You have an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account named account1.

You need to create a container named Container1 in account1 by using the Azure Cosmos DB .NET SDK. The solution must ensure that the items in Container1 never expire.

What should you set?

HOTSPOT

You plan to create an Azure Cosmos DB container named account that will contain items in the following format.

You need to define a query that will return the ids of all accounts that have ever recorded a negative value for balance.

How should you complete the query? To answer select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Your company develops an application named App1 that uses the Azure Cosmos DB SDK and the Eventual consistency level.

App1 queries an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account named account1.

You need to identify which consistency level to assign to App1 to meet the following requirements:

• Maximize the throughput of the queries generated by App1 without increasing the number of request units currently used by the queries.
• Provide the highest consistency guarantees.

Which consistency level should you identify?

You have operational data in an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL database.

Database users report that the performance of the database degrades significantly when a business analytics team runs large Apache Spark-based queries against the database.

You need to reduce the impact that running the Spark-based queries has on the database users.

What should you implement?

DRAG DROP

You are designing three apps named App1, App2, and App3. Each app will use a separate Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account. The apps have the following consistency requirements:
• App1: Reads must always return the most recent committed version of an item, where the commit occurred during the same session.
• App2: Reads must always return the most recent committed version of an item, even if the commit occurred during another session.
• App3: Write latency must be minimized and data staleness can be tolerated.

You need to recommend a default consistency level for each Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account. The solution must minimize concurrency.

What should you recommend for the account of each app? To answer, drag the appropriate consistency levels to the correct apps. Each consistency level may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You have an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account.

You configure the diagnostic settings to send all log information to a Log Analytics workspace.

You need to identify when the provisioned request units per second (RU/s) for resources within the account were modified.

You write the following query.

AzureDiagnostics -
| where Category == "ControlPlaneRequests"

What should you include in the query?

HOTSPOT

You have an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account.

You plan to create a container named container1. The container1 container will store items that include two properties named name and age.

The most commonly executed queries will query container1 for a specific name. The following is a sample of the query.

You need to define an opt-in indexing policy for container1. The solution must meet the following requirements:

• Minimize the number of request units consumed by the queries.
• Ensure that the _etag property is excluded from indexing.

How should you define the indexing policy? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You have a container in an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account.

You need to create an alert based on a custom Log Analytics query.

Which signal type should you use?

You provision an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL container. You set the throughput to Autoscale, and the maximum request units per second (RU/s) to 20,000.

For how many RU/s will you be charged when the actual RU/s usage is zero?

HOTSPOT -
You have a container named container1 in an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account.
The following is a sample of a document in container1.
