Explanation:
Box 1: windows Example code: var request = new HttpRequestMessage(method, $"{resourceUri}?api-version=2017-04");
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", createToken(resourceUri, KEY_NAME, KEY_VALUE));
request.Headers.Add("X-WNS-Type", "wns/raw");
request.Headers.Add("ServiceBusNotification-Format", "windows"); return request;
Box 2: application/octet-stream
Example code capable of sending a raw notification: string resourceUri =
$"https://{NH_NAMESPACE}.servicebus.windows.net/{HUB_NAME}/ messages/";
using (var request = CreateHttpRequest(HttpMethod.Post, resourceUri))
{
request.Content = new StringContent(content, Encoding.UTF8,
"application/octet-stream");
request.Content.Headers.ContentType.CharSet = string.Empty; var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode); }

Question 2 Topic 19
DRAG DROP
You are developing a REST web service. Customers will access the service by using an Azure API Management instance.
The web service does not correctly handle conflicts. Instead of returning an HTTP status code of 409, the service returns a
status code of 500. The body of the status message contains only the word conflict.
You need to ensure that conflicts produce the correct response.
How should you complete the policy? To answer, drag the appropriate code segments to the correct locations. Each code
segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to
view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: on-error
Policies in Azure API Management are divided into inbound, backend, outbound, and on-error.
If there is no on-error section, callers will receive 400 or 500 HTTP response messages if an error condition occurs.
Box 2: context
Box 3: context
Box 4: set-status
The return-response policy aborts pipeline execution and returns either a default or custom response to the caller. Default
response is 200 OK with no body. Custom response can be specified via a context variable or policy statements.
Syntax:
Box 5: on-error

Question 5 Topic 19
A company is implementing a publish-subscribe (Pub/Sub) messaging component by using Azure Service Bus. You are
developing the first subscription application.
In the Azure portal you see that messages are being sent to the subscription for each topic. You create and initialize a
subscription client object by supplying the correct details, but the subscription application is still not consuming the
messages.
You need to ensure that the subscription client processes all messages.
Which code segment should you use?
- A. await subscriptionClient.AddRuleAsync(new RuleDescription(RuleDescription.DefaultRuleName, new TrueFilter()));
- B. subscriptionClient = new SubscriptionClient(ServiceBusConnectionString, TopicName, SubscriptionName);
- C. await subscriptionClient.CloseAsync();
- D. subscriptionClient.RegisterMessageHandler(ProcessMessagesAsync, messageHandlerOptions);
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Using topic client, call RegisterMessageHandler which is used to receive messages continuously from the entity. It registers
a message handler and begins a new thread to receive messages. This handler is waited on every time a new message is
received by the receiver.
subscriptionClient.RegisterMessageHandler(ReceiveMessagesAsync, messageHandlerOptions); Reference:

Question 6 Topic 19
You are developing a solution that will use Azure messaging services.
You need to ensure that the solution uses a publish-subscribe model and eliminates the need for constant polling.
What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Service Bus
- B. Event Hub
- C. Event Grid
- D. Queue
Answer:
A C
Explanation:
It is strongly recommended to use available messaging products and services that support a publish-subscribe model, rather
than building your own. In Azure, consider using Service Bus or Event Grid. Other technologies that can be used for pub/sub
messaging include Redis, RabbitMQ, and Apache Kafka. Reference:

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
Use the set-backend-service policy to redirect an incoming request to a different backend than the one specified in the API
settings for that operation. Syntax:
Box 2: No
The condition is on 512k, not on 256k.
Box 3: No
The set-backend-service policy changes the backend service base URL of the incoming request to the one specified in the
policy.

Question 8 Topic 19
HOTSPOT
You are creating an app that uses Event Grid to connect with other services. Your apps event data will be sent to a
serverless function that checks compliance. This function is maintained by your company.
You write a new event subscription at the scope of your resource. The event must be invalidated after a specific period of
time.
You need to configure Event Grid.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: SAS tokens
Custom topics use either Shared Access Signature (SAS) or key authentication. Microsoft recommends SAS, but key
authentication provides simple programming, and is compatible with many existing webhook publishers.
In this case we need the expiration time provided by SAS tokens.
Box 2: ValidationCode handshake
Event Grid supports two ways of validating the subscription: ValidationCode handshake (programmatic) and ValidationURL
handshake (manual). If you control the source code for your endpoint, this method is recommended.
Incorrect Answers:
ValidationURL handshake (manual): In certain cases, you can't access the source code of the endpoint to implement the
ValidationCode handshake. For example, if you use a third-party service (like Zapier or IFTTT), you can't programmatically
respond with the validation code.

Question 10 Topic 19
You are developing an Azure messaging solution.
You need to ensure that the solution meets the following requirements:
Provide transactional support.
Provide duplicate detection.
Store the messages for an unlimited period of time.
Which two technologies will meet the requirements? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Azure Service Bus Topic
- B. Azure Service Bus Queue
- C. Azure Storage Queue
- D. Azure Event Hub
Answer:
A B
Explanation:
The Azure Service Bus Queue and Topic has duplicate detection.
Enabling duplicate detection helps keep track of the application-controlled MessageId of all messages sent into a queue or
topic during a specified time window.
Incorrect Answers:
C: There is just no mechanism that can query a Storage queue and find out if a message with the same contents is already
there or was there before. D: Azure Event Hub does not have duplicate detection Reference:

Question 12 Topic 19
DRAG DROP
You develop software solutions for a mobile delivery service. You are developing a mobile app that users can use to order
from a restaurant in their area. The app uses the following workflow:
1. A driver selects the restaurants from which they will deliver orders.
2. Orders are sent to all available drivers in an area.
3. Only orders for the selected restaurants will appear for the driver.
4. The first driver to accept an order removes it from the list of available orders.
You need to implement an Azure Service Bus solution.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the
answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Create a single Service Bus Namespace
To begin using Service Bus messaging entities in Azure, you must first create a namespace with a name that is unique
across Azure. A namespace provides a scoping container for addressing Service Bus resources within your application.
Box 2: Create a Service Bus Topic for each restaurant for which a driver can receive messages. Create topics.
Box 3: Create a Service Bus subscription for each restaurant for which a driver can receive orders. Topics can have multiple,
independent subscriptions.
