Microsoft AZ-600 Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub Exam Practice Test

Box 1: Administrator management endpoint

Note: The developers report high chargeback costs for the dev1 region.

Two integrated systems that are dedicated to application development and have the following configurations:

• The integrated systems are disconnected from the Internet. The workloads in the user subscriptions have Internet access.
• One integrated system has a region name of dev1, and the other has a region name of dev2.
• Both regions are used only by developers at Northwind Traders.

The request gets consumption details for the requested subscriptions and for the requested time frame. There is no request body.

This usage API is a provider API, so the caller must be assigned an Owner, Contributor, or Reader role in the provider's subscription.

Method, Request URI

GET https://{armendpoint}/subscriptions/{subId}/providers/Microsoft.Commerce.Admin/subscriberUsageAggregates?reportedStartTime={reportedStartTime} &reportedEndTime={reportedEndTime}&aggregationGranularity={granularity}&subscriberId={sub1.1}&api-version=2015-06-01-preview&continua

Arguments

* armendpoint

Azure Resource Manager endpoint of your Azure Stack Hub environment. The Azure Stack Hub convention is that the name of the Azure Resource Manager endpoint is in the format https://adminmanagement.{domain-name}. For example, for the Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK), if the domain name is local.azurestack.external, then the Resource Manager endpoint is https://adminmanagement.local.azurestack.external.

* subId

Subscription ID of the user who makes the call.

* Etc.

Box 2: Get-AzsSubscriberUsage

Retrieve usage information

PowerShell

To generate the usage data, you should have resources that are running and actively using the system; for example, an active virtual machine (VM), or a storage account containing some data. If you're not sure whether you have any resources running in the Azure Stack Hub Marketplace, deploy a VM, and verify the VM monitoring blade to make sure it's running. Use the following PowerShell cmdlets to view the usage data:

• Install PowerShell for Azure Stack Hub.

• Configure the Azure Stack Hub user or the Azure Stack Hub operator PowerShell environment.

• To retrieve the usage data, call the Get-AzsSubscriberUsage PowerShell cmdlet:

Get-AzsSubscriberUsage -ReportedStartTime "2017-09-06T00:00:00Z"

Step 1: Notify all the users in the int1 region and schedule a maintenance window.

Step 2: Select the subscription that was used to perform the initial registration.

Note: You need to change the int1 region to use the capacity model.

Change the billing model and registration name of the int1 region.

The int1 region runs a high number of Windows virtual machines that use pay-as-you-use images.

Change billing model, how features are offered, or re-register your instance

This section applies if you want to change the billing model, how features are offered, or you want to re-register your instance. For all of these cases, you call the registration function to set the new values. You don't need to first remove the current registration.

# select the subscription used during the registration

Select-AzSubscription -Subscription ''

# rerun registration with new BillingModel (or same billing model in case of re-registration) but using other parameters values from portal

Set-AzsRegistration -PrivilegedEndpointCredential $YourCloudAdminCredential -PrivilegedEndpoint $YourPrivilegedEndpoint -BillingModel '' -RegistrationName '' -ResourceGroupName ''

Step 3: Run the Set-AzsRegistration cmdlet.

You can use Set-AzsRegistration to register Azure Stack Hub with Azure and enable or disable the offer of items in the marketplace and usage reporting.

To run the cmdlet, you need:

A global Azure subscription of any type.

To be signed in to Azure PowerShell with an account that's an owner or contributor to that subscription.

Box 1: Subject Alternative Name

Implement the App Service resource provider and the Event Hubs resource provider on the integrated system/

Only the Subject Alternative Name is used.

Box 2: DNS Name = =*.eventhub.east.azurestack.treyresearch.net

Event Hubs prerequisites

Procure public key infrastructure (PKI) SSL certificates for Event Hubs. The Subject Alternative Name (SAN) must adhere to the following naming pattern: CN=*.eventhub... Subject Name may be specified, but it's not used by Event Hubs when handling certificates. Only the Subject Alternative Name is used. See PKI certificate requirements for the full list of detailed requirements.

Configure the integrated system to resolve external names by using a DNS Server that has an IP address of 10.100.100.100.

Resolving external DNS names from Azure Stack Hub

To resolve DNS names for endpoints outside Azure Stack Hub (for example: www.bing.com), you need to provide DNS servers that Azure Stack Hub can use to forward DNS requests for which Azure Stack Hub isn 't authoritative. For deployment, DNS servers that Azure Stack Hub forwards requests to are required in the Deployment Worksheet (in the DNS Forwarder field). Provide at least two servers in this field for fault tolerance. Without these values, Azure Stack Hub deployment fails. You can edit the DNS Forwarder values with the Set-AzSDnsForwarder cmdlet after deployment.

Configure conditional DNS forwarding

Important

This only applies to an AD FS deployment.

To enable name resolution with your existing DNS infrastructure, configure conditional forwarding.

To add a conditional forwarder, you must use the privileged endpoint.

For this procedure, use a computer in your datacenter network that can communicate with the privileged endpoint in Azure Stack Hub.

1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell session (run as administrator), and connect to the IP address of the privileged endpoint. Use the credentials for CloudAdmin authentication.

$cred=Get-Credential

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName -ConfigurationName PrivilegedEndpoint -Credential $cred

2. After you connect to the privileged endpoint, run the following PowerShell command. Substitute the sample values provided with your domain name and IP addresses of the DNS servers you want to use.

Register-CustomDnsServer -CustomDomainName "contoso.com" -Custom

Table Description automatically generated

When deploying Azure Stack Hub in disconnected mode it is recommended to use certificates issued by an enterprise certificate authority. This is important because clients accessing Azure Stack Hub endpoints must be able to contact the certificate revocation list (CRL).

Instead: Solution: You run the nslookup AzS-ERCS01.azurestack.local command.

Note: nslookup is a network administration command-line tool for querying the Domain Name System to obtain the mapping between domain name and IP address, or other DNS records.

ASDK architecture, Virtual machine roles

The ASDK offers services using the following VMs hosted on the development kit host computer:

* AzS-ERCS01 - Emergency Recovery Console VM.

Your choice of either Azure AD or AD FS is determined by the mode in which you deploy Azure Stack Hub:

When you deploy it in a connected mode, you can use either Azure AD or AD FS.

When you deploy it in a disconnected mode, without a connection to the internet, only AD FS is supported.

E:

Rotate certificate for AD FS identity application

The identity application is created by the operator before deployment of Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub. If the application's object ID is unknown, follow these steps to discover it:

• Go to the Azure Stack Hub administrator portal.
• Go to Subscriptions and select Default Provider Subscription.
• Select Access Control (IAM) and select the AzureStack-AppService- application.
• Take a note of the Object ID, this value is the ID of the Service Principal that must be updated in AD FS.

D: To rotate the certificate for the application in AD FS, you need to have access to the privileged endpoint (PEP). Then you update the certificate credential using PowerShell.

# Sign in to PowerShell interactively, using credentials that have access to the VM running the Privileged Endpoint

$Creds = Get-Credential

# Create a new Certificate object from the identity application certificate exported as .cer file

$Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("")

# Create a new PSSession to the PrivelegedEndpoint VM

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "" -ConfigurationName PrivilegedEndpoint -Credential $Creds -SessionOption (New-PSSessionOption -Culture en-US -UICulture en-US)

# Use the privileged endpoint to update the certificate thumbprint, used by the service principal associated with the App Service identity application

$SpObject = Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock {Set-GraphApplication -ApplicationIdentifier "" -ClientCertificates $using:Cert}

$Session | Remove-PSSession

# Output the updated service principal details

$SpObject
