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?
Correct Answer:
C
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 many requests". You discover that the 429 status code relates to excessive request unit (RU) consumption during the updates.

You have an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account named account 1 that uses autoscale throughput. You need to run an Azure function when the normalized request units per second for a container in account1 exceeds a specific value.
Solution: You configure the function to have an Azure CosmosDB trigger. Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
B
Instead configure an Azure Monitor alert to trigger the function.
You can set up alerts from the Azure Cosmos DB pane or the Azure Monitor service in the Azure portal. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/create-alerts

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?
Correct Answer:
D
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.

You have an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account named account1.
In account1, you run the following query in a container that contains 100GB of data. SELECT *
FROM c
WHERE LOWER(c.categoryid) = "hockey"
You view the following metrics while performing the query.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
Box 1: No
Each physical partition should have its own index, but since no index is used, the query is not cross-partition.
Box 2: No
Index utilization is 0% and Index Look up time is also zero.
Box 3: Yes
A partition key index will be created, and the query will perform across the partitions. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/sql/how-to-query-container
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
A

You provision Azure resources by using the following Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
Box 1: No
An alert is triggered when the DB key is regenerated, not when it is used.
Note: The az cosmosdb keys regenerate command regenerates an access key for a Azure Cosmos DB database account.
Box 2: No
Only an SMS action will be taken.
Emailreceivers is empty so no email action is taken.
Box 3: Yes
Yes, an alert is triggered when the DB key is regenerated.
