Which feature allows App Service to adjust the number of application instances based on traffic load? Autoscaling Hybrid Connections Fault Tolerance High Availability
Autoscaling
What is the top-level structure for managing cloud resources in Azure? Azure Resource Groups Azure Resources Azure Management Groups Azure Subscriptions
Azure Management Groups
Which Azure service allows creating thousands of VMs with auto-scaling? Azure VMs. Azure VM Scale Sets. Azure Functions. Azure App Services.
Azure VM Scale Sets.
How can Azure Spot VMs contribute to cost savings? By offering licensing benefits By providing autoscaling functionality By allowing the use of on-premises licenses By utilizing unused capacity at a lower cost
By utilizing unused capacity at a lower cost
What is the purpose of Azure Role-Based Access Control (Azure RBAC)? Customizing built-in role descriptions. Enforcing user permissions for application development. Managing cloud resources in Microsoft Azure. Controlling access and authorization of resources in Azure.
Controlling access and authorization of resources in Azure.
What is the purpose of Azure Subscriptions in an organization? Managing compliance policies Controlling monthly bill and resource costs Controlling access to resources Grouping resources for easy management
Controlling monthly bill and resource costs
What is the primary advantage of serverless computing, such as Azure Functions? Increased control over infrastructure Long-term infrastructure maintenance Manual provisioning of servers Cost efficiency
Cost efficiency
What is the primary purpose of Azure Region Pairs? Load balancing resources across regions Ensuring sequential updates in a region Managing cross-platform compatibility Creating backup regions for disaster recovery
Creating backup regions for disaster recovery
How does horizontal scaling differ from vertical scaling in Azure VM Scale Sets? Horizontal scaling adds resources to VMs, while vertical scaling adds or removes VMs. Horizontal scaling is manual, while vertical scaling is automatic. Horizontal scaling increases the number of VM instances, while vertical scaling adjusts resources within the VMs. Horizontal scaling upgrades memory, disk memory, and CPU power, while vertical scaling adjusts the number of VM instances.
Horizontal scaling increases the number of VM instances, while vertical scaling adjusts resources within the VMs.
Why is choosing the right VM size important in Azure? Aesthetic preferences Impacts network speed only Influences memory, compute, and storage capabilities Determines the color scheme
Influences memory, compute, and storage capabilities
Why is knowledge of VM pricing models essential in Azure? Helps in naming the VM correctly Determines the VM color in the Azure portal Influences performance and availability Only affects the visual appearance of VMs
Influences performance and availability
Why is flexibility in programming languages beneficial for Azure Functions? It reduces the need for integration. It increases dependency on specific languages. It limits the scope of development. It accommodates diverse development preferences.
It accommodates diverse development preferences.
What does an Azure Resource Group act as in Microsoft Azure? Logical container for resources Container for user accounts Logical container for VMs Group for managing compliance
Logical container for resources
What is the purpose of Azure Cost Management + Billing? Ensure resiliency and low latency. Control user identities and access. Protect applications from hardware failures. Manage financial aspects of cloud consumption.
Manage financial aspects of cloud consumption.
How can you find Azure Compute services in the Azure Portal? Check the Azure Dashboard for Compute services. Use the search bar and type "Azure Compute. Go to Azure Marketplace and search for Compute. Navigate to All Services, select Compute category.

What is the primary purpose of Azure VM Scale Sets? Running and managing a scalable set of VMs Providing Azure Hybrid Benefit Hosting databases and storage Saving costs through unused capacity
Running and managing a scalable set of VMs
What is the primary advantage of using Azure Virtual Machines (VMs)? Limited control over Infrastructure Scalable computing resources No responsibility for maintenance Restricted access to OS updates and patches
Scalable computing resources
What is the purpose of Azure Container Registry (ACR)? To store, administer, and deploy container images securely. To provide a serverless environment for microservices. To run containerized applications in Azure. To manage access permissions for Azure Container Instances.
To store, administer, and deploy container images securely.
Which tool helps estimate cost savings by migrating workloads to Azure? Azure Cost Management + Billing. Azure Pricing Calculator. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator. Microsoft Entra Id)
