Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Serverless Compute (Functions and Logic Apps)

A healthcare provider wants to design a serverless workflow to handle patient appointment scheduling. The requirements are:

1. Automatically send a notification to an on-premises hospital database and send a confirmation email via Microsoft 365 when a patient schedules an appointment. This requires integrating multiple external APIs using a visual design interface with minimal coding.
2. Run a custom C# sorting and scheduling optimization algorithm to allocate physician slots based on patient urgency levels.

Which two Azure services should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select two.)

  1. Azure Logic AppsAnswer
  2. Azure FunctionsAnswer
  3. C
    Azure Virtual Machines
  4. D
    Azure App Service

Answer

Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions
The solution requires a combination of integration workflows and custom code execution. Azure Logic Apps provides a designer-first, low-code interface with pre-built connectors to orchestrate workflows across systems like Microsoft 365 and databases. Azure Functions provides a code-first, serverless environment to run custom code (such as the C# scheduling algorithm) on demand without managing servers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the integration and orchestration requirements.
Azure Logic Apps is selected for connecting Microsoft 365 and the database with minimal code.
Azure Logic Apps is designed for connector-first integrations using a visual designer.
2
Identify the custom code execution requirement.
Azure Functions is selected to execute the custom C# sorting algorithm.
Azure Functions is a code-first serverless compute service ideal for custom logic.
3
Verify that both selected services are serverless.
Both Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions scale automatically and charge based on consumption.
This fulfills the constraint to use serverless technologies in Azure.
