AZ-900T01: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (2 days) Quiz Questions and Answers

Answer :
  • No

Explanation :

Usually, when Microsoft releases a new service, the service is released in private preview phase. During private preview, Microsoft will invite a few customers to test the new service and provide feedback. Also during private preview phase, regular support services are not available. When the service is mature and considered ready for production environments testin, Microsoft will transition the service to public preview phase. During this phase, any customer can run and test the service. As opposed to private preview, Microsoft teams will provide formal support services in this phase. The last step is migrating the service to generally available (GA) phase. During public preview phase, there may be functionalities or features fixing as well, but once the service is transitioned to GA, the new service is considered stable and ready for real production workloads. All Azure services in GA are available to all customers. Also, the service is covered by support via all official Microsoft support channels. And now, coming back to the statement presented in this scenario, we can clearly state that Azure Generally Available (GA) services are available to all Azure customers.
Answer :
  • Azure Event hubs

Explanation :

Azure Event Hubs is actually a big data streaming platform and event ingestion service. So this Azure service is dedicated to big data, which is not the case in this scenario. Azure Analysis Services is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) that provides enterprise-grade data models in the cloud.” (microsoft.com). Simply put, Azure Analysis Services can be used to run data analysis, fast and easy, using tools like Power BI. Azure Stream Analytics is a real-time analytics and event-processing engine that is designed to analyze and process high volumes of fast streaming data, from multiple sources simultaneously.” (microsoft.com) For simplicity, streaming data could represent for example TV online streaming, Live video streaming in general, event streaming, etc. So this leads us to the last available option, Azure Monitor. Azure Monitor can be used to collect multiple events from multiple Azure resources , storing them in a centralised repository.
Answer :
  • Yes

Explanation :

Azure Cloud Shell is a very powerful tool available in Azure Portal. Within Azure Cloud Shell, you can choose either Bash or PowerShell to configure or manage your Azure subscription. Very important to note and understand is that in order to access Azure Cloud Shell (Bash or PowerShell), you only need a valid internet connection to connect to Azure Portal. Once you connect and authenticate with Azure Portal, you can then launch Azure Cloud Shell, choose either Bash or PowerShell and deploy whatever Azure services you want or need. The command presented is technically correct, you only need to validate where exactly you can run this command. The command is Azure CLI specific, so you can run it either in Bash, in Azure Cloud Shell, or maybe locally on your laptop or PC, if you have all necessary prerequisites installed.

Answer :
  • Azure Functions

Explanation :

Azure provides a range of serverless execution environments, fully managed services and a comprehensive set of developer tools and services to build your applications. If we now refer to running code in Azure in a serverless manner, Azure Functions service can be used. Both containers and virtual machines represent Azure computing options, that you will pay for by renting compute power. Azure Storage Account doesn’t meet the requirements as well, because Storage Accounts represent a combination of IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service and PaaS – Platform as a Service.
Answer :
  • an Azure policy

Explanation :

Azure Policy is a service in Azure that you use to define, assign, and, manage standards for resources in your environment. You can use an Azure Policy for many useful tasks, such as: - prevent the creation of disallowed resources - ensure new resources have specific settings applied - run evaluations of your existing resources to scan for non-compliance. Azure Policy offers several built-in policies that are available by default. In this specific scenario, we would use the Allowed Locations policy to define the locations where resources can be deployed.
Answer :
  • No

Explanation :

Azure Network Security Groups can’t be used to encrypt any kind of network traffic. The main use case for Azure network security groups is traffic filtering. What kind of traffic ? Well, traffic going into Azure data centers, or traffic leaving Azure data centers. Where are network security groups applied? NSGs are applied either at the VM level (specifically at the network interface card level), or at the subnet level. If you want or need to apply traffic filtering policies at the virtual network level, you can use the Azure Firewall service.
Answer :
  • Yes

Explanation :

If you don’t want to use Azure Cloud Shell and prefer working on your own laptop, you first need to install Azure CLI module on your laptop or PC. Once this process is complete, you can start running commands directly on your laptop, either in Command Prompt application or PowerShell application. Since the proposed solution mentions installing the CLI module in the first place, and then running the command, the proposed solution will technically meet the goal.

Answer :
  • within a single Azure region

Explanation :

Availability Zones in Azure represent unique physical locations, deployed within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. Some Azure regions, so not all Azure regions, support Availability Zones. So, coming back to this questions, an Availability Zone in Azure has physically separate locations (or data centers) within a single Azure region.
