Review Question 1
What terms from the below list are valid core architectural components of Microsoft Azure?
(choose four)
Region
Availability zone
Server group
Resource group
Availability set

Explanation
Region, availability zone, resource group, and availability set are the correct answers, as they are all
core architectural components of Azure. Server Groups are not a core architectural component of
Microsoft Azure.
Review Question 2
Every resource created in Azure must exist in one and only one what?
Availability set
Availability zone
Resource group
Azure Resource Manager

Explanation
Resource group is the correct answer. Each resource must exist in one, and only one, resource group.
All other answers are incorrect, as a resource does not need to exist in an availability set or an
availability zone, and Azure Resource Manager is a management layer that creates resources, but a
resource cannot exist in this layer.
Review Question 3
As a best practice, all resources that are part of an application and share the same life cycle exist in
the same what?
Geography
Resource group
Region
Availability set

Explanation
Resource group is the correct answer. Resources that are part of an
application and share its life cycle should be placed in the same
resource group for ease of management. It is not a recommended best practice for
resources to be placed in the same geography, region, or availability set.
Review Question 4
You want to deploy an application in a container, and may need to run it at scale on some
occasions. You want to deploy the containers directly to Azure without having to first deploy virtual
machines. Which services are available for you to use to deploy containers directly to Azure?
(choose two)
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Azure Functions
VMs
Azure Container Instances

Explanation
AKS and Azure Container Instances are the correct answers. Azure Container Instances allows you to
deploy containers directly to Azure; and Azure Kubernetes Service is a container orchestrator, which
allows you run containers at scale without having to manage underlying VMs. Azure Functions is not
the correct answer as Functions is involved in serverless computing and does not run containers
directly. VMs is not the correct answer either, because although you could run containers in an IaaS
virtual machine, you would have to manage the virtual machine to do so.
Review Question 5
You need to deploy a legacy application in Azure that has some customizations that are needed to
ensure it runs successfully. The application will run on a Windows VM. Which Azure service from the
below list would you recommend to run the virtual machine in?
Azure App Service
Azure Event Grid
Azure Virtual Machines
Azure Container Instances

Explanation
Azure Virtual Machines is the correct answer, because it is an IaaS service and as such you are
responsible for configuring and managing the virtual machine on which the application will run. This
enables you to customize it as needed in this case. Azure App Service is a PaaS service, and as such
you will not be able to customize the underlying virtual machine in which the application runs. Azure
Event Grid is a messaging service in Azure that triggers other events. It allows you to connect
serverless logic to events coming from multiple Azure services, and it connects to events from external
sources, all as part of a serverless computing model. However, it does not run virtual machines. Azure
Container Instances will not run virtual machines; it will only run containers, and is a PaaS service.
Review Question 6
True or false: Resource Manager templates are JSON files.
True
False

Explanation
Resource Manager templates are JSON files that define the resources you need to deploy for your
solution. You can then use the template to easily re-create multiple versions of your infrastructure,
such as staging and production.
Review Question 7
Which of the following services are part of Core Networking services in Azure?
Azure App Services
Azure Blob Storage
Azure Cosmos DB
Azure VPN Gateway

Explanation
Azure VPN Gateway is the correct answer, because it allows you to connect securely from your on-
premises environment to Azure. It is also referred to as a Virtual Network Gateway. Azure App
Services is a PaaS service for running different types of apps, such as web apps, mobile apps, and
others. Azure Blob Storage is part of storage services, and Azure Cosmos DB is part of data services.
Review Question 8
Which of the following services are part of Core IoT services in Azure?
IoT Central
Application Gateway
Azure DevOps
Azure PowerShell

Explanation
IoT Central is the correct answer, because it is an SaaS for IoT that allows you to connect, monitor,
and manage your IoT assets at scale. Application Gateway is a gateway service to allow your
application connect internally or externally and is part of the Networking suite of services. Azure
DevOps is part of the DevOps suite of services and allows you build continuous integration and
delivery pipelines. Azure PowerShell is a scripting language that allows you manage and configure
Azure.
Review Question 9
Which of the following services are part of the Artificial Intelligence service in Azure?
HDInsight
Azure Machine Learning service
Azure DevTest Labs
Azure Advisor

Explanation
Azure Machine Learning service is the correct answer. Machine Learning service provides a cloud-based
environment that you can use to develop, train, test, deploy, manage, and track machine learning models.
HDInsight is a fully managed, open-source analytics service for enterprises, and is part of the big data and
analytics category of services. Azure DevTest Labs is a service that helps developers and testers quickly
create environments in Azure while minimizing waste and controlling cost. It is part of the DevOps suite of
services. Azure Advisor is a free service built into Azure that provides recommendations on high availability,
security, performance, and cost. It is part of the management suite of tools and services.
