Common Questions About the Microsoft 070-776 Exam

What is the Microsoft Engineering Data with Microsoft Cloud Services exam all about?

The 070-776 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the MCSA: Data Engineering with Azure certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Engineering Data with Microsoft Cloud Services credential. It sits at the Associate level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to 70-775 Perform Data Engineering on Microsoft HDInsight, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 070-776 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 070-776 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

Microsoft Engineering Data with Microsoft Cloud Services Sample Questions:

Question #1

You have a Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse that has a fact table named FactOrder. FactOrder contains three columns named CustomerId, OrderId, and OrderDateKey. FactOrder is hash distributed on CustomerId.
OrderId is the unique identifier for FactOrder. FactOrder contains 3 million rows.
Orders are distributed evenly among different customers from a table named dimCustomers that contains 2 million rows.
You often run queries that join FactOrder and dimCustomers by selecting and grouping by the OrderDateKey column.
You add 7 million rows to FactOrder. Most of the new records have a more recent OrderDateKey value than the previous records.
You need to reduce the execution time of queries that group on OrderDateKey and that join dimCustomers and FactOrder.
What should you do?

A. Change the distribution for the dimCustomers table to OrderDateKey.
B. Change the distribution for the FactOrder table to round robin.
C. Change the distribution for the FactOrder table to be based on OrderId.
D. Update the statistics for the OrderDateKey column.

Question #2

You have a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Analytics service.
You plan to configure diagnostic logging.
You need to use Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) to monitor the IP addresses that are used to access the Data Lake Store.
What should you do?

A. Send the audit logs to Log Analytics.
B. Send the request logs to Log Analytics.
C. Stream the audit logs to an event hub.
D. Stream the request logs to an event hub.

Question #3

You use Microsoft Azure Data Lake Store as the default storage for an Azure HDInsight cluster.
You establish an SSH connection to the HDInsight cluster.
You need to copy files from the HDInsight cluster to the Data LakeStore.
Which command should you use?

A. AdlCopy
B. hdfs dfs
C. AzCopy
D. hadoop fs

Question #4

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You are monitoring user queries to a Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse that has six compute nodes.
You discover that compute node utilization is uneven. The rows_processed column from sys.dm_pdw_workers shows a significant variation in the number of rows being moved among the distributions for the same table for the same query.
You need to ensure that the load is distributed evenly across the compute nodes.
Solution: You add a nonclustered columnstore index.
Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Question #5

You are creating a series of activities for a Microsoft Azure Data Factory. The first activity will copy an input dataset named Dataset1 to an output dataset named Dataset2. The second activity will copy a dataset named Dataset3 to an output dataset named Dataset4.
Dataset1 is located in Azure Table Storage. Dataset2 is located in Azure Blob storage. Dataset3 is located in an Azure Data Lake store. Dataset4 is located in an Azure SQL data warehouse.
You need to configure the inputs for the second activity. The solution must ensure that Dataset3 is copied after Dataset2 is created.
How should you complete the JSON code for the second activity? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
