QUESTION 2

What should you recommend using to secure sensitive customer contact information?

A. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
B. row-level security
C. column-level security
D. data sensitivity labels

Scenario: All cloud data must be encrypted at rest and in transit.
Always Encrypted is a feature designed to protect sensitive data stored in specific database columns from access (for example, credit card numbers, national identification numbers, or data on a need-to-know basis). This includes database administrators or other privileged users who are authorized to access the database to perform management tasks but have no business need to access the particular data in the encrypted columns. The data is always encrypted, which means the encrypted data is decrypted only for processing by client applications with access to the encryption key.

Correct Answer:

dp-203 exam questions 5-1

Step 1: a database scoped credential
To access your Data Lake Storage account, you will need to create a Database Master Key to encrypt your credential secret used in the next step. You then create a database scoped credential.

Step 2: an external data source Create the external data source. Use the CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE command to store the location of the data. Provide the credential created in the previous step.

Step 3: an external file format Configure data format: To import the data from Data Lake Storage, you need to specify the External File Format. This object defines how the files are written in Data Lake Storage.

QUESTION 9

You are monitoring an Azure Stream Analytics job.
You discover that the Backlogged Input Events metric is increasing slowly and is consistently non-zero.
You need to ensure that the job can handle all the events.
What should you do?

A. Change the compatibility level of the Stream Analytics job.
B. Increase the number of streaming units (SUs).
C. Remove any named consumer groups from the connection and use $default.
D. Create an additional output stream for the existing input stream.

Backlogged Input Events: Number of input events that are backlogged. A non-zero value for this metric implies that your job isn\’t able to keep up with the number of incoming events. If this value is slowly increasing or consistently non-zero, you should scale out your job. You should increase the Streaming Units.
Note: Streaming Units (SUs) represent the computing resources that are allocated to execute a Stream Analytics job.
The higher the number of SUs, the more CPU and memory resources are allocated for your job.

1. Ingest Data from System1
2. Ingest Data from System2
3. Populate Dimensions
4. Populate Facts

Ingest Data from System1 and Ingest Data from System2 have no dependencies. Populate Dimensions must execute after Ingest Data from System1 and Ingest Data from System2. Populate Facts must execute after Populate Dimensions pipeline. All the pipelines must execute every eight hours.

What should you do to schedule the pipelines for execution?

A. Add an event trigger to all four pipelines.
B. Add a schedule trigger to all four pipelines.
C. Create a patient pipeline that contains the four pipelines and use a schedule trigger.
D. Create a patient pipeline that contains the four pipelines and use an event trigger.

Schedule Trigger: A trigger that invokes a pipeline on a wall-clock schedule.

QUESTION 11

You have an Azure Databricks workspace named workspace1 in the Standard pricing tier.
You need to configure workspace1 to support autoscaling all-purpose clusters. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Automatically scale down workers when the cluster is underutilized for three minutes.
Minimize the time it takes to scale to the maximum number of workers.
Minimize costs.

What should you do first?

A. Enable container services for workspace1.
B. Upgrade workspace1 to the Premium pricing tier.
C. Set Cluster-Mode to High Concurrency.
D. Create a cluster policy in workspace1.

For clusters running Databricks Runtime 6.4 and above, optimized autoscaling is used by all-purpose clusters in the Premium plan Optimized autoscaling:

Scales up from min to max in 2 steps.
Can scale down even if the cluster is not idle by looking at shuffle file state.
Scales down based on a percentage of current nodes.
On job clusters, scales down if the cluster is underutilized over the last 40 seconds.
On all-purpose clusters, scales down if the cluster is underutilized over the last 150 seconds.
The spark. data bricks.aggressiveWindowDownS Spark configuration property specifies in seconds how often a cluster makes down-scaling decisions. Increasing the value causes a cluster to scale down more slowly. The maximum value is 600.

Note: Standard autoscaling
Starts with adding 8 nodes. Thereafter, scales up exponentially, but can take many steps to reach the max. You can customize the first step by setting the spark.data bricks.autoscaling.standardFirstStepUp Spark configuration property.

Scales down only when the cluster is completely idle and it has been underutilized for the last 10 minutes. Scales down exponentially, starting with 1 node.

QUESTION 12

You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that contains a large fact table. The table contains 50 columns and 5 billion rows and is a heap.

Most queries against the table aggregate values from approximately 100 million rows and return only two columns.

You discover that the queries against the fact table are very slow.

Which type of index should you add to provide the fastest query times?

A. nonclustered column store
B. clustered column store
C. nonclustered
D. clustered

Clustered columnstore indexes are one of the most efficient ways you can store your data in a dedicated SQL pool. Columnstore tables won\’t benefit a query unless the table has more than 60 million rows.
