Practice Assessment Question for Exam
AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Which two factors affect Azure costs? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. - ANS resource
location, resource usage
Usage meters, such as CPU time, disk size, and write operations, are used to calculate your bill for an
Azure resource. Deleting or deallocating a resource means that you will no longer be billed for it.
Different regions can have different associated prices. Resources cost the same no matter the time of
day or the day of the week.
You plan to build a new solution in Azure that will use platform as a service (PaaS) products.
What should you use to estimate the monthly costs? - ANS Azure Pricing calculator
The Azure Pricing calculator allows you to estimate and configure according to your specific
requirements. You will then receive a consolidated estimated price and a detailed breakdown of the
costs associated with each resource you added to your solution.
Which two features are available by using Azure Cost Management + Billing? Each correct answer
presents a complete solution. - ANS Create and manage budgets, Generate historical reports and
forecast future usage
Azure Cost Management allows you to create and manage cost and usage budgets by monitoring
resource demand trends, consumption rates, and cost patterns. It also allows you to use historical data
to generate reports and forecast future usage and expenditures.
You have an Azure virtual machine that is accessed only between 9:00 and 17:00 each day.
What should you do to minimize costs but preserve the associated hard disks and data? - ANS Deallocate
the virtual machine when it is not needed
,If you have virtual machine workloads that are used only during certain periods, but you run them every
hour of every day, then you are wasting money. These virtual machines are great candidates to
deallocate when not in use and start back when required to save compute costs while the virtual
machines are deallocated.
You need to associate the costs of resources to different groups within an organization without changing
the location of the resources.
What should you use? - ANS resource tags
Resource tags can be used to group billing data and categorize costs by runtime environment, such as
billing usage for virtual machines running in a production environment.
What can be applied to a resource to prevent accidental deletion? - ANS a resource lock
A resource lock prevents resources from being accidentally deleted or changed. Resource tags offer the
custom grouping of resources. Policies enforce different rules across all resource configurations so that
the configurations stay compliant with corporate standards. An initiative is a way of grouping related
policies together.
You need to recommend a solution for Azure virtual machine deployments. The solution must enforce
company standards on the virtual machines.
What should you include in the recommendation? - ANS Azure Policy
Azure policies will allow you to enforce company standards on new virtual machines when combined
with Azure VM Image Builder and Azure Compute Gallery. By using Azure Policy and role-based access
control (RBAC) assignments, enterprises can enforce standards on Azure resources. But on virtual
machines, these mechanisms only affect the control plane or the route to the virtual machine.
Which two actions can be performed by using Azure portal? Each correct answer presents a complete
solution. - ANS Create new resources, Create Microsoft Entra user
, The Azure portal provides a GUI to view all the services you are using, create new services, configure
your services, and view reports.
Which management layer accepts requests from any Azure tool or API and enables you to create,
update, and delete resources in an Azure account? - ANS Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
ARM is the deployment and management service for Azure. It provides a management layer that
enables you to create, update, and delete resources in an Azure account.
Which two tools are accessible via Azure Cloud Shell to manage an Azure environment? - ANS Azure CLI,
Azure PowerShell
Azure CLI is an executable program with which a user can execute commands in Bash that call the Azure
REST API. Azure Cloud Shell also supports Azure PowerShell as an executable program.
What should you use to access Azure Cloud Shell? - ANS a web browser
Cloud Shell is an interactive, browser-accessible shell for managing Azure resources.
What can you use to manage servers across third party cloud platforms and on-premises environments?
- ANS Azure Arc
Azure Arc simplifies governance and management by delivering a consistent multi-cloud and on-
premises management platform.
You need to be notified when there are new recommendations for reducing Azure costs.
Which tool should you use? - ANS Azure Advisor
