Question

Case Study 6 - ADatum Corporation Overview ADatum Corporation is consulting firm that has a main office in Montreal and branch offices in Seattle and New York. Existing Environment Azure Environment ADatum has an Azure subscription that contains three resource groups named RG1, RG2, and RG3. The subscription contains the storage accounts shown in the following table. The subscription contains the virtual machines shown in the following table. The subscription has an Azure container registry that contains the images shown in the following table. The subscription contains the resources shown in the following table. Azure Key Vault The subscription contains an Azure key vault named Vault1. Vault1 contains the certificates shown in the following table. Vault1 contains the keys shown in the following table. Microsoft Entra Environment ADatum has a Microsoft Entra tenant named adatum.com that is linked to the Azure subscription and contains the users shown in the following table. The tenant contains the groups shown in the following table. The adatum.com tenant has a custom security attribute named Attribute1. Planned Changes ADatum plans to implement the following changes: - Configure a data collection rule (DCR) named DCR1 to collect only system events that have an event ID of 4648 from VM2 and VM4. - In storage1, create a new container named cont2 that has the following access policies: o Three stored access policies named Stored1, Stored2, and Stored3 o A legal hold for immutable blob storage - Whenever possible, use directories to organize storage account content. - Grant User1 the permissions required to link Zone1 to VNet1. - Assign Attribute1 to supported adatum.com resources. - In storage2, create an encryption scope named Scope1. - Deploy new containers by using Image1 or Image2. Technical Requirements ADatum must meet the following technical requirements: - Use TLS for WebApp1. - Follow the principle of least privilege. - Grant permissions at the required scope only. - Ensure that Scope1 is used to encrypt storage services. - Use Azure Backup to back up cont1 and share1 as frequently as possible. - Whenever possible, use Azure Disk Encryption and a key encryption key (KEK) to encrypt the virtual machines. Hotspot Question You implement the planned changes for cont2. What is the maximum number of additional access policies you can create for cont2? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Answer Area

Stored access policies:
012345
Immutable blob storage policies:
012345

Explanation

You can add up to 2 additional stored access policies and 1 additional immutable blob storage policy based on Azure's per-container limits.

Approach. To determine the remaining number of policies you can add, you must subtract the planned policies from Azure's maximum per-container limits.

Stored access policies: Azure Blob Storage allows a maximum of 5 stored access policies per container. The planned changes dictate creating 3 policies (Stored1, Stored2, Stored3). Therefore, you can create 2 additional stored access policies (5 max - 3 planned = 2).
Immutable blob storage policies: A single container can have a maximum of two immutable policies: exactly one time-based retention policy and one legal hold policy. The planned changes already include creating a legal hold. Thus, you can only add 1 additional immutable policy, which would be the time-based retention policy (2 max - 1 planned = 1).

Common mistakes.

common_mistake. A common mistake is selecting '5' and '2', which represent the absolute maximum policy limits for a container. This ignores the policies already accounted for in the 'Planned Changes' section of the case study.

Concept tested. Azure Blob Storage container limits for Stored Access Policies and Immutable Storage (Time-based retention and Legal holds).
