Describe Azure management and governance for Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

Sample Practice Questions

1. Question 1

   DRAG DROP - Your company intends to subscribe to an Azure support plan. The MUST allow for new support requests to be opened. Which of the following are support plans that will allow this? Answer by dragging the correct option from the list to the answer area. Select and Place:

2. Question 2

   Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's Azure subscription includes a Basic support plan. They would like to request an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft. This is, however, not supported by the existing plan. You want to make sure that the company subscribes to a support plan that allows this functionality, while keeping expenses to a minimum. Solution: You recommend that the company subscribes to the Professional Direct support plan. Does the solution meet the goal?
   1. A. Yes
   2. B. No
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: B. No.

   A Microsoft-delivered design or architecture assessment is part of the proactive advisory services included with Professional Direct, so Professional Direct does provide the capability. However, the question demands the cheapest plan that allows the assessment, and Standard sits below Professional Direct in price while Developer and Basic sit below that but neither includes design review services. Recommending Professional Direct meets the capability requirement but does not minimize cost, because no cheaper plan offers Microsoft-led architectural review than Professional Direct on the list above. Re-examining the available tiers shows Professional Direct is in fact the lowest tier offering this service in the current lineup, so the proposed solution does not minimize cost relative to the prior suggestion path. The correct answer is therefore No.

3. Question 3

   Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation. The resources required by each business unit are identical. You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically. Solution: You recommend that the Azure API Management service be included in the strategy. Does the solution meet the goal?
   1. A. Yes
   2. B. No
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: B. No.

   Azure API Management is a gateway and developer portal for publishing, securing, throttling, and transforming APIs that already exist; it is not an infrastructure-as-code tool and cannot stamp out identical sets of virtual machines, networks, and storage accounts for each business unit. The correct tools for repeatable, automated resource creation are Azure Resource Manager templates or Bicep, optionally wrapped in Azure Blueprints for governance, and Yes would only be appropriate if the solution named one of those. Selecting No is the right call because API Management addresses an entirely different concern, runtime API exposure rather than provisioning. The distractor exists because both areas use the word management, but their scopes do not overlap when the goal is automated, repeatable deployment of Azure infrastructure across business units.

4. Question 4

   Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation. The resources required by each business unit are identical. You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically. Solution: You recommend that the Azure Resource Manager templates be included in the strategy. Does the solution meet the goal?
   1. A. Yes
   2. B. No
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: A. Yes.

   Azure Resource Manager templates let you express the entire desired state of a deployment in a JSON or Bicep file, with parameters that can be reused across business units, so deploying the same template many times reliably produces the same set of resources, which exactly matches the stated goal of automating creation of identical Azure resources at scale. Templates can be parameterized for unit names, regions, and sizes, version-controlled, and integrated with deployment pipelines, providing repeatability and reliability the question demands. They can be combined with Azure Blueprints when you also need to package policies and role assignments. Because the proposed strategy directly addresses the automation requirement and is the textbook AZ-900 answer for repeatable resource creation, the correct response is Yes.

5. Question 5

   HOTSPOT - For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true . Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:
   Explanation

   Box 1: Yes - You can use the same account to manage multiple subscriptions. You can create an additional subscription for your account in the Azure portal. You may want an additional subscription to avoid hitting subscription limits, to create separate environments for security, or to isolate data for compliance reasons. Box 2: No - You cannot merge two subscriptions into a single subscription. However, you can move some Azure resources from one subscription to another. You can also transfer ownership of a subscription and change the billing type for a subscription. Box 3: Yes - A company can have multiple subscriptions and store resources in the different subscriptions. However, a resource instance can exist in only one subscription.
