1.Which service in Azure is used to manage resources in Azure?

Application Insights
Azure Resource Manager
Azure Portal
Log Analytics

Answer: B Azure Resource Manager

2. Which of the following web applications can be deployed with Azure?

ASP.NET
PHP
WCF
All of the mentioned

Answer: D All of the mentioned

3.What are Roles and why do we use them?

Explanation: Roles are nothing servers in layman terms. These servers are managed,
load balanced, Platform as a Service virtual machines that work together to achieve
a common goal.

There are 3 types of roles in Microsoft Azure:

Web Role
Worker Role
VM Role

Let�s discuss each of these roles in detail:

Web Role � A web role is basically used to deploy a website, using languages
supported by the IIS platform like, PHP, .NET etc. It is configured and customized
to run web applications.
Worker Role � A worker role is more like an help to the Web role, it used to
execute background processes unlike the Web Role which is used to deploy the
website.
VM Role � The VM role is used by a user to schedule tasks and other windows
services. This role can be used to customize the machines on which the web and
worker role is running.

4.A _________ role is a virtual machine instance running Microsoft IIS Web server
that can accept and respond to HTTP or HTTPS requests.

Web
Server
Worker
Client

Answer: A. Web

Explanation: The answer should be Web Roles, there are no roles such as Server or
Client roles. Also, Worker roles can only communicate with Azure Storage or through
direct connections to clients

5.Is it possible to create a Virtual Machine using Azure Resource Manager in a


Virtual Network that was created using classic deployment?
Explanation: This is not supported. You cannot use Azure Resource Manager to deploy
a virtual machine into a virtual network that was created using classic deployment.

6. What are virtual machine scale sets in Azure?

Explanation: Virtual machine scale sets are Azure compute resource that you can use
to deploy and manage a set of identical VMs. With all the VMs configured the same,
scale sets are designed to support true autoscale, and no pre-provisioning of VMs
is required. So it�s easier to build large-scale services that target big compute,
big data, and containerized workloads.

7. Are data disks supported within scale sets?

Explanation: Yes. A scale set can define an attached data disk configuration that
applies to all VMs in the set. Other options for storing data include:

Azure files (SMB shared drives)


OS drive
Temp drive (local, not backed by Azure Storage)
Azure data service (for example, Azure tables, Azure blobs)
External data service (for example, remote database

8.What is an Availability Set?

Explanation: An availability set is a logical grouping of VMs that allows Azure to


understand how your application is built to provide redundancy and availability. It
is recommended that two or more VMs are created within an availability set to
provide for a highly available application and to meet the 99.95% Azure SLA. When a
single VM is used with Azure Premium Storage, the Azure SLA applies for unplanned
maintenance events

9.What are Fault Domains?

Explanation: A fault domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that share a


common power source and network switch, similar to a rack within an on-premise
data-centers. As you create VMs within an availability set, the Azure platform
automatically distributes your VMs across these fault domains. This approach limits
the impact of potential physical hardware failures, network outages, or power
interruptions.

10.What are Update Domains?

Explanation: An update domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that can


undergo maintenance or can be rebooted at the same time. As you create VMs within
an availability set, the Azure platform automatically distributes your VMs across
these update domains. This approach ensures that at least one instance of your
application always remains running as the Azure platform undergoes periodic
maintenance. The order of update domains being rebooted may not proceed
sequentially during planned maintenance, but only one update domain is rebooted at
a time.

11.What are Network Security Groups?

Explanation: A network security group (NSG) contains a list of Access Control List
(ACL) rules that allow or deny network traffic to subnets, NICs, or both. NSGs can
be associated with either subnets or individual NICs connected to a subnet. When an
NSG is associated with a subnet, the ACL rules apply to all the VMs in that subnet.
In addition, traffic to an individual NIC can be restricted by associating an NSG
directly to a NIC

12.Do scale sets work with Azure availability sets?

Explanation: Yes. A scale set is an implicit availability set with 5 fault domains
and 5 update domains. Scale sets of more than 100 VMs span multiple placement
groups, which are equivalent to multiple availability sets. An availability set of
VMs can exist in the same virtual network as a scale set of VMs. A common
configuration is to put control node VMs (which often require unique configuration)
in an availability set and put data nodes in the scale set.

13.Why is Azure Active Directory used?

Explanation: Azure Active Directory is an Identity and Access Management system. It


is used to grant access to your employees to specific products and services in your
network. For example: Salesforce.com, twitter etc. Azure AD has some in-built
support for applications in its gallery which can be added directly.

14.Where can I find a list of applications that are pre-integrated with Azure AD
and their capabilities?

Explanation: Azure AD has around 2900 pre-integrated applications. All pre-


integrated applications support single sign-on (SSO). SSO let you use your
organizational credentials to access your apps. Some of the applications also
support automated provisioning and de-provisioning

15.What is Azure Service Fabric?

Explanation: Azure Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that makes it


easy to package, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable micro-services. Service
Fabric also addresses the significant challenges in developing and managing cloud
applications. Developers and administrators can avoid complex infrastructure
problems and focus on implementing mission-critical, demanding workloads that are
scalable, reliable, and manageable. Service Fabric represents the next-generation
middleware platform for building and managing these enterprise-class, tier-1,
cloud-scale applications.

16. What is a VNet?

Explanation: VNet is a representation of your own network in the cloud. It


logically isolates your instances launched in the cloud, from the rest of your
resources.

17. What is the difference between Service Bus Queues and Storage Queues?

Explanation: The Azure Storage Queue is simple and the developer experience is
quite good. It uses the local Azure Storage Emulator and debugging is made quite
easy. The tooling for Azure Storage Queues allows you to easily peek at the top 32
messages and if the messages are in XML or Json, you�re able to visualize their
contents directly from Visual Studio Furthermore, these queues can be purged of
their contents, which is especially useful during development and QA efforts.

The Azure Service Bus Queues are evolved and surrounded by many useful mechanisms
that make it enterprise worthy! They are built into the Service Bus and are able to
forward messages to other Queues and Topics. They have a built-in dead-letter queue
and messages have a time to live that you control, hence messages don�t
automatically disappear after 7 days.
Furthermore, Azure Service Bus Queues have the ability of deleting themselves after
a configurable amount of idle time. This feature is very practical when you create
Queues for each user, because if a user hasn�t interacted with a Queue for the past
month, it automatically gets clean it up. Its also a great way to drive costs down.
You shouldn�t have to pay for storage that you don�t need. These Queues are limited
to a maximum of 80gb. Once you�ve reached this limit your application will start
receiving exceptions.

18.Is it possible to add an existing VM to an availability set?

Explanation: No. If you want your VM to be part of an availability set, you need to
create the VM within the set. There currently no way to add a VM to an availability
set after it has been created

19.How much storage can I use with a virtual machine
