Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Exam Prep: Azure core architecture: regions, zones and resource hierarchy

1. Question 1 sur 15

   What is an Azure region?

   • AA container that holds related resources for one app
   • BAn area with one or more nearby, linked datacentres
   • CA group of subscriptions that share one invoice
   • DA single rack of servers inside one datacentre
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: B. An area with one or more nearby, linked datacentres

   A region is a geographical area with at least one, and often several, datacentres that are close together and linked by a low-latency network.

2. Question 2 sur 15

   What is an availability zone?

   • AAn isolated instance of Azure for government agencies
   • BA pair of regions at least 300 miles apart
   • CA separate datacentre in a region with its own power and cooling
   • DA folder in the Azure portal that organizes resources by team and project
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: C. A separate datacentre in a region with its own power and cooling

   Availability zones are physically separate datacentres within a region, each with independent power, cooling and networking.

3. Question 3 sur 15

   At minimum, how many availability zones does a region that supports zones have?

   • AOne
   • BTwo
   • CThree
   • DSix
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: C. Three

   Every availability zone-enabled region has a minimum of three separate availability zones.

4. Question 4 sur 15

   Which order of the Azure resource hierarchy goes from the largest scope to the smallest?

   • AManagement groups, subscriptions, resource groups, resources
   • BResources, resource groups, management groups, subscriptions
   • CResource groups, subscriptions, management groups, resources
   • DSubscriptions, management groups, resources, resource groups
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: A. Management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, resources

   Management groups sit above subscriptions, subscriptions contain resource groups, and resource groups contain resources.

5. Question 5 sur 15

   How many resource groups can one resource belong to at a time?

   • AExactly one
   • BUp to two
   • CAs many as you need
   • DUp to six
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: A. Exactly one

   Every resource must belong to exactly one resource group. Some resources can be moved, but a resource is in only one group at a time.

6. Question 6 sur 15

   You delete a resource group. What happens to the resources inside it?

   • AThey are deleted too
   • BThey stay in place but lose their tags
   • CThey move up to the subscription level
   • DThey move to a default resource group
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: A. They are deleted too

   Deleting a resource group deletes everything in it, so check its contents first.

7. Question 7 sur 15

   Which statement about resource groups is true?

   • AA resource group can contain whole subscriptions
   • BOne resource can belong to several resource groups
   • CA resource group can't be placed inside another resource group
   • DA resource group can be renamed whenever you like
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: C. A resource group can't be placed inside another resource group

   Resource groups can't be nested, and they can't be renamed after they are created.

8. Question 8 sur 15

   A company wants separate invoices and separate access rules for its production and development work. What should it create?

   • AA separate Azure account for every employee
   • BSeparate subscriptions
   • CSeparate tags on every resource
   • DSeparate availability zones for each team
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: B. Separate subscriptions

   A subscription is both a billing boundary, with its own invoice, and an access control boundary.

9. Question 9 sur 15

   Which of these Azure services doesn't ask you to choose a region?

   • AAzure Virtual Machines
   • BAzure Virtual Desktop
   • CAzure Kubernetes Service
   • DAzure DNS
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: D. Azure DNS

   Some global services, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Traffic Manager and Azure DNS, don't require you to select a region.

10. Question 10 sur 15

    How far apart are most Azure region pairs?

    • AAt least 3,000 miles (about 4,800 km)
    • BOn two different continents
    • CAt least 300 miles (about 480 km)
    • DAt least 30 miles (about 48 km)
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. At least 300 miles (about 480 km)

    Most regions are paired with another region in the same geography that is at least 300 miles away.

11. Question 11 sur 15

    How are planned Azure updates rolled out to a region pair?

    • AOnly to the region with fewer customers
    • BNever, because paired regions are not updated
    • CTo one region of the pair at a time
    • DTo both regions at exactly the same time
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. To one region of the pair at a time

    Planned updates roll out to paired regions one region at a time to reduce downtime and the risk of an outage.

12. Question 12 sur 15

    You deploy a virtual machine into one specific availability zone that you choose. What kind of service is this?

    • AA zone-redundant service
    • BA non-regional service
    • CA zonal service
    • DA sovereign service
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. A zonal service

    Zonal services are pinned to one zone, such as VMs, managed disks and IP addresses. Zone-redundant services are replicated across zones by Azure.

13. Question 13 sur 15

    • ATwo
    • BSix
    • CThree

    An administrator applies a policy to a management group that limits virtual machines to one location. What happens?

    • AEach subscription owner can choose to override it
    • BOnly management groups created later get the policy
    • CEvery subscription under that group inherits the policy
    • DIt applies only to VMs created in the Azure portal
