,Identity and Access Management (Questions 1–5)
Q1. An administrator needs to ensure that users in different
departments can only access Azure resources assigned to their
department while maintaining centralized identity control. What
should be implemented?
A. Azure Firewall policies
B. Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) with Role-Based
Access Control
C. Network Security Groups only
D. Azure Load Balancer rules
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID)
with Role-Based Access Control
Explanation: Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) provides centralized
identity management while RBAC ensures fine-grained permission
control over Azure resources. Firewall and NSGs control traffic, not
identity permissions, and load balancers do not manage access
control.
Q2. A company wants to enforce multi-factor authentication only
for privileged users accessing the Azure portal. Which feature
should be used?
A. Conditional Access Policies
B. Azure Policy
C. Azure Resource Locks
D. Azure Advisor
Correct Answer: 🔴 A. Conditional Access Policies
Explanation: Conditional Access allows granular enforcement such
as requiring MFA for specific users or roles. Azure Policy governs
resources, not authentication behavior.
Q3. Which Azure feature ensures that only approved applications
can be registered and used within the organization?
,A. Azure AD App Proxy
B. Enterprise Applications Gallery
C. Azure AD Application Governance
D. Azure Resource Manager
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Azure AD Application Governance
Explanation: Application governance controls app lifecycle and
permissions. App Proxy is for remote access, not governance.
Q4. A global administrator needs to assign least privilege access
to a user managing virtual machines only. What should be
assigned?
A. Owner role at subscription level
B. Reader role at tenant level
C. Virtual Machine Contributor role
D. Security Administrator role
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Virtual Machine Contributor role
Explanation: This role allows VM management without full
subscription control. Owner role is excessive, Reader is too limited,
Security Admin is unrelated.
Q5. Which identity solution supports hybrid authentication
between on-premises Active Directory and Azure?
A. Azure AD B2C
B. Azure AD Connect
C. Azure Bastion
D. Azure Monitor
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Azure AD Connect
Explanation: Azure AD Connect synchronizes on-prem AD with
Azure AD enabling hybrid identity. Other options serve different
purposes.
Azure Governance and Subscriptions (Questions 6–10)
, Q6. A company wants to enforce tagging of all Azure resources
before deployment. Which service should be used?
A. Azure Blueprints
B. Azure Bastion
C. Azure Load Balancer
D. Azure DNS
Correct Answer: 🔴 A. Azure Blueprints
Explanation: Blueprints enforce governance rules including tagging
standards. The other options do not enforce resource compliance.
Q7. What is the primary purpose of Azure Policy?
A. Deploy virtual machines automatically
B. Enforce compliance rules across resources
C. Provide VPN connectivity
D. Monitor application logs
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Enforce compliance rules across resources
Explanation: Azure Policy ensures resources meet organizational
standards and compliance requirements.
Q8. A company needs to isolate production and development
environments. What is the best approach?
A. Separate resource groups only
B. Separate subscriptions
C. Single resource group with tags
D. Single virtual network
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Separate subscriptions
Explanation: Subscriptions provide strong isolation boundaries for
billing, access, and governance.
Q9. Which Azure tool provides cost analysis and spending
tracking?
A. Azure Monitor
B. Azure Cost Management + Billing
