Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 56

What are two benefits of platform as a service (PaaS) relational database offerings in Azure, such as Azure SQL Database? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. access to the latest features
• B. complete control over backup and restore processes
• C. in-database machine learning services
• D. reduced administrative effort for managing the server infrastructure

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because PaaS offerings like Azure SQL Database provide access to the latest features automatically and significantly reduce the administrative tasks involved in managing the underlying server infrastructure. Option B is incorrect as PaaS typically abstracts backup and restore processes, and C, while it may be a feature, is not universally applicable to all PaaS relational databases.
