Sample DP-300 Practice Questions
Question 1
In a scenario where you need to provision an Azure SQL Managed Instance in a specific region with a custom endpoint, which of the following steps should you take to ensure the instance is correctly configured and accessible from a virtual network in the same subscription?
- Create the virtual network and then the managed instance.
- Create the managed instance with the custom endpoint and then configure virtual network integration.
- Create the managed instance and then create the virtual network.
- Configure virtual network integration after creating both the managed instance and the virtual network.
The correct answer is B because you must first create the Azure SQL Managed Instance with the specified endpoint and then configure the virtual network integration to allow the managed instance to communicate with the virtual network. Option A is incorrect because it does not address the need for virtual network integration. Option C is incorrect as it suggests creating the virtual network before the managed instance, which is not necessary and could lead to misconfiguration. Option D is incorrect because it implies that the virtual network integration can be done after the managed instance is created without any prior steps.
Question 2
When configuring storage for an Azure SQL Managed Instance, which of the following actions is necessary to ensure optimal performance and compliance with data governance policies?
- Ensure the managed instance is in the same region as the storage account.
- Configure the storage account with the appropriate access tier and performance level.
- Enable encryption on the managed instance.
- Set the storage account to use geo-redundant storage (GRS).
The correct answer is B because configuring the storage account with the appropriate access tier and performance level ensures optimal performance and helps comply with data governance policies. Option A is incorrect as it does not mention the importance of setting the access tier and performance level. Option C is incorrect because it focuses on the wrong aspect; the primary concern is the storage account configuration rather than the managed instance itself. Option D is incorrect as it suggests enabling encryption without mentioning the need for setting the access tier and performance level.
Question 3
In a scenario where you need to configure database authentication using Microsoft Entra-only authentication for a SQL Server database, which of the following steps should you take to ensure that only users with valid Microsoft Entra identities can access the database without needing to create SQL Server logins?
- Create SQL Server logins for all users.
- Configure Microsoft Entra-only authentication for the database.
- Enable Windows authentication for the database.
- Create contained database users for all users.
The correct answer is B because configuring Microsoft Entra-only authentication ensures that only users with valid Microsoft Entra identities can access the database. Option A is incorrect because it involves creating SQL Server logins, which is not necessary when using Microsoft Entra-only authentication. Option C is incorrect because it suggests enabling Windows authentication, which is not relevant in this context. Option D is incorrect because it refers to contained database users, which are not suitable for Microsoft Entra-only authentication.
