Azure Resource Manager template consists of JSON, not XAML, and expressions that you can use to construct values for your deployment. 
A good JSON editor can simplify the task of creating templates. 
Note: In its simplest structure, an Azure Resource Manager template contains the following elements:
{ 
"$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "",
"parameters": ,
"variables": ,
"resources": [ ],
"outputs": { }
}

In an effort to simplify the tempdb configuration experience, SQL Server 2016 setup has been extended to configure various properties for tempdb for multi-processor environments. 
A new tab dedicated to tempdb has been added to the Database Engine Configuration step of setup workflow. 
Configuration options:
Data Files 
Number of files – this will default to the lower value of 8 or number of logical cores as detected by setup. 
Initial size – is specified in MB and applies to each tempdb data file. This makes it easier to configure all files of same size. Total initial size is the cumulative tempdb data file size (Number of files * Initial Size) that will be created. 
Autogrowth – is specified in MB (fixed growth is preferred as opposed to a non-linear percentage based growth) and applies to each file. The default value of 64MB was chosen to cover one PFS interval.

Note: SQL Database automatically creates a database backups and uses Azure read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) to provide geo-redundancy. These backups are created automatically and at no additional charge. You don't need to do anything to make them happen. Database backups are an essential part of any business continuity and disaster recovery strategy because they protect your data from accidental corruption or deletion.

Premium Storage Disks Limits 
When you provision a disk against a Premium Storage account, how much input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput (bandwidth) it can get depends on the size of the disk. Currently, there are three types of Premium Storage disks: P10, P20, and P30. Each one has specific limits for IOPS and throughput as specified in the following table:

Enable read caching on the disk(s) hosting the data files and TempDB. 
Do not enable caching on disk(s) hosting the log file. Host caching is not used for log files. 
Incorrect Answers:

Box 1: ProductionNetwork
The virtual network is named ProductionNetwork. 
Box 2: None /Not Assigned
As the servers in the availability group must be directly accessible only by other company VMs in Azure, there should be no Public IP address. 
Box 3: ProductionServer2
You create the first node of the availability group and add it to an availability set named ProductionServers2. 
The availability group node is a virtual machine (VM) that runs Microsoft SQL Server.

Note: A standard disk is expected to handle 500 IOPS or 60MB/s.
A P10 Premium disk is expected to handle 500 IOPS. 
A P20 Premium disk is expected to handle 2300 IOPS. 
A P30 Premium disk is expected to handle 5000 IOPS. 
VM size: A3
Max data disk throughput is 8x500 IOPS

For a database size of 500 GB the Premium tier is required. 
Both P1 and P2 are adequate. P1 is preferred as it is cheaper. 
Note:

        

Incorrect Answers:
A, C: Maximum database size is 250 GB for the Standard pricing tier.
