AZURE 900 QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS
1 What are Azure Benefits? - Answers - Agility, no need to buy hardware to spin up a
vm.
What are the Exam Topics and percentages? - Answers - Describe cloud concepts
(25-30%)
Describe Azure architecture and services (35-40%)
Describe Azure management and governance (30-35%)
2 What are Azure Benefits? - Answers - Architecture change is easy i.e. VM to
Containers
3 What are Azure Benefits? - Answers - You can scale fast, if you need resource
upgrades i.e. (CPU, Storage) you can do so instantaneously.
4 What are Azure Benefits? - Answers - Disaster recovery: You replicate your software
within geopolitical boundaries. Big distance between regions
5 What are Azure Benefits? - Answers - You have full control over where you can
deploy your redundant data.
Benefits: Capital Expenditure - Answers - you can pay a lump some upfront amount of
money to ensure your resource is functional for the desired time. Model for Private
cloud
Benefits: Operational Expenditure - Answers - From business perspective you can
either choose to pay as you utilize resources. Model of the Public cloud
What is the difference between Scalability and Agility? - Answers - Agility is about the
speed and flexibility of deploying and managing applications.
Scalability is about the ability to handle growth — in users, data, or traffic — efficiently
and cost-effectively.
Agility Benefit - Answers - You can deploy and configure cloud-based resources
quickly as app requirements change. This is great bc needs can change over time.
Rapid Deployment: The ability to quickly set up and configure cloud environments
without the need for physical hardware.
DevOps Support: Tools and services that support Continuous Integration/Continuous
Deployment (CI/CD), allowing for automated testing and deployment.
Global Reach: The ability to deploy applications and services in data centers around the
world, ensuring close proximity to end-users.
Scalability Benefit - Answers - You can add RAM, CPU, or entire virtual machines to a
configuration.
,Elasticity: The ability to automatically or manually scale resources up or down based on
demand.
Pay-As-You-Go Pricing: Customers pay only for the resources they use, which allows
for cost-effective scaling.
Load Balancing: Azure provides automatic distribution of incoming traffic across multiple
instances, helping to manage sudden surges in demand.
Elasticity Benefit - Answers - You can configure cloud-based apps to take advantage
of autoscaling, so apps always have the resources they need.
Availability Benefit - Answers - You can provide a continuous user experience with no
apparent downtime, even when things go wrong.
IAAS - Answers - Provide you with storage, network, hypervisor/vm and computing
power so all the hardware virtualized software to run a computer or server and network.
They will even help you with patching, updating the software packages, Backups and
AV so it is not fully your responsibility.
PAAS - Answers - PaaS provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and
manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the
infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. PaaS is
designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying,
managing, and updating.
Built-in Infrastructure Management: Servers, storage, and networking management are
handled by Azure, allowing developers to focus on their application.
Built-in Development Tools: PaaS offers a range of tools for application development,
such as middleware, development tools, database management systems, business
analytics services, and more.
Support for Multiple Programming Languages: Developers can build applications using
a variety of languages and frameworks supported by the platform.
Use cases for PAAS - Answers - Development framework for building web or mobile
apps
Analytics or business intelligence to deliver insights from data
Additional services like workflow, directory, security, and scheduling
SAAS - Answers - This is the least headache for the client. Think Office 365 where you
do not need to do anything to utilize this tool.
The benefits of IAAS - Answers - IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over
the internet. In an Azure context, it allows customers to rent virtual machines (VMs),
, storage, networks, and operating systems on a pay-as-you-go basis from Microsoft
Azure, without having to invest in physical hardware
Flexibility and Control: Users have control over their virtual networking environment,
including selection of their IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of
route tables and network gateways.
Scalability: Resources can be scaled up or down quickly as demand changes.
Pay-As-You-Go Pricing: Customers pay for the compute, storage, or other resources
they use, without long-term commitments.
Who manages the operating system in IAAS? - Answers - Managed by customers
when using IaaS or an on-premises deployments.
Name some PAAS Services - Answers - Pay as you go type of model
Serverless Solutions: Event driven items that allow you to conduct flows to resolves
something. CPU cycles that is used.
Functions
Logic Apps
Cloud features such as scalability, high-availability, and multi-tenant capability are
included, reducing the amount of coding that developers must do.
App services can benefit what? - Answers - (PaaS) offering from Microsoft Azure,
designed to enable developers to quickly build, deploy, and scale web applications and
APIs without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.
Integrated Security: Azure App Services comes with built-in security features, including
secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates, identity service integration for authentication
(such as Azure Active Directory, Google, Facebook, and Twitter), and compliance
features that meet industry
Rapid Development and Deployment: Azure App Services simplifies the web application
and API development process by providing a framework that supports multiple
programming languages and integrates with various development tools.
What is Azure Kubernetes - Answers - Is an open-source platform designed to
automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers
is a managed container orchestration service provided by Microsoft Azure, based on the
open-source Kubernetes system. Kubernetes is widely recognized for its ability to
automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. AKS
simplifies the use of Kubernetes by removing much of the complexity involved in setting
up, managing, and operating a Kubernetes cluster.
