Microsoft DP-420 Practice Test - Questions Answers

List of questions
Question 1

You are troubleshooting the current issues caused by the application updates.
Which action can address the application updates issue without affecting the functionality of the application?
Bounded staleness is frequently chosen by globally distributed applications that expect low write latencies but require total global order guarantee. Bounded staleness is great for applications featuring group collaboration and sharing, stock ticker, publish-subscribe/queueing etc.
Scenario: Application updates in con-product frequently cause HTTP status code 429 "Too manyrequests". You discover that the 429 status code relates to excessive request unit (RU) consumptionduring the updates.

Question 2

You need to select the partition key for con-iot1. The solution must meet the IoT telemetry requirements.
What should you select?
The partition key is what will determine how data is routed in the various partitions by Cosmos DB and needs to make sense in the context of your specific scenario. The IoT Device ID is generally the "natural" partition key for IoT applications.
Scenario: The iotdb database will contain two containers named con-iot1 and con-iot2.
Ensure that Azure Cosmos DB costs for IoT-related processing are predictable.

Question 3

You need to identify which connectivity mode to use when implementing App2. The solution must support the planned changes and meet the business requirements.
Which connectivity mode should you identify?
Scenario: Develop an app named App2 that will run from the retail stores and query the data in account2. App2 must be limited to a single DNS endpoint when accessing account2.
By using Azure Private Link, you can connect to an Azure Cosmos account via a private endpoint. The private endpoint is a set of private IP addresses in a subnet within your virtual network.
When you're using Private Link with an Azure Cosmos account through a direct mode connection, you can use only the TCP protocol. The HTTP protocol is not currently supported.

Question 4

You configure multi-region writes for account1.
You need to ensure that App1 supports the new configuration for account1. The solution must meet the business requirements and the product catalog requirements.
What should you do?
App1 queries the con-product and con-productVendor containers.
Note: Request unit is a performance currency abstracting the system resources such as CPU, IOPS, and memory that are required to perform the database operations supported by Azure Cosmos DB.
Scenario:
Develop an app named App1 that will run from all locations and query the data in account1.
Once multi-region writes are configured, maximize the performance of App1 queries against the data in account1.
Whenever there are multiple solutions for a requirement, select the solution that provides the best performance, as long as there are no additional costs associated.

Question 5

You need to provide a solution for the Azure Functions notifications following updates to conproduct.
The solution must meet the business requirements and the product catalog requirements.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Scenario: Use Azure Functions to send notifications about product updates to different recipients.
Trigger the execution of two Azure functions following every update to any document in the conproduct container.

Question 6

You need to implement a solution to meet the product catalog requirements.
What should you do to implement the conflict resolution policy.
Question 7

HOTSPOT
You need to recommend indexes for con-product and con-productVendor. The solution must meet the product catalog requirements and the business requirements.
Which type of index should you recommend for each container? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Question 8

HOTSPOT
You need to select the capacity mode and scale configuration for account2 to support the planned changes and meet the business requirements. What should you select? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer are a. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Question 9

You have an application named App1 that reads the data in an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account. App1 runs the same read queries every minute. The default consistency level for the account is set to eventual.
You discover that every query consumes request units (RUs) instead of using the cache.
You verify the IntegratedCacheiteItemHitRate metric and the IntegratedCacheQueryHitRate metric.
Both metrics have values of 0.
You verify that the dedicated gateway cluster is provisioned and used in the connection string.
You need to ensure that App1 uses the Azure Cosmos DB integrated cache.
What should you configure?
Because the integrated cache is specific to your Azure Cosmos DB account and requires significant CPU and memory, it requires a dedicated gateway node. Connect to Azure Cosmos DB using gateway mode.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/integrated-cache-faq
Question 10

You are developing an application that will use an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account as a data source.
You need to create a report that displays the top five most ordered fruits as shown in the following table.
A collection that contains aggregated data already exists. The following is a sample document:
{
"name": "apple",
"type": ["fruit", "exotic"],
"orders": 10000
}W hich two queries can you use to retrieve data for the report? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
ARRAY_CONTAINS returns a Boolean indicating whether the array contains the specified value. You can check for a partial or full match of an object by using a boolean expression within the command.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Default sorting ordering is Ascending. Must use Descending order.
C: Order on Orders not on Type.
