Azure Interview Questions

Q.) What is meant by Microsoft Azure and Azure diagnostic?
Answer: This is one of the most basic Azure cloud interview questions asked very often. Microsoft
Azure is a cloud computing interface that is implemented by Microsoft so as to get benefited from
cloud computing.
Q.) What is meant by cloud computing?
Answer: This is a basic question that finds its mention in most of the Microsoft Azure interview
questions eBook. Cloud Computing is the high-level abstraction procedure that focuses on business
logic. This is a service delivered via the internet that aids you with the computing services without
laying much importance on the infrastructural needs just like the electric supply.
Q.) What is the scalability of cloud computing?
Answer: If the above question appears as the Azure cloud interview questions your most appropriate
answer will be scaling is one of the advantages that are of two types;
 Vertical scaling, where the configuration yields to increase the existing capacity of the
machine. Just like expanding the size of the RAM from 4GB to 32GB.
 Horizontal Scaling, an aspect where the physical aspect is increased like putting multiple
machines at work instead of replacing the existing machine.
Q.) What is meant by PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS?
Answer: These are the basic terms while dealing with the cloud services and are commonly asked in
an Azure interview:
 PaaS stands for Platform as a Service that enables you to get a platform to deliver
without directly giving authorization to the OS software.
 SaaS stands for Software as a Service is devoid of platform infrastructure software that
can be used without direct purchase.
 IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a Service which enables you to get the hardware from
the provider as the desired service which can be configured by the user.
Q.) Explain the fault domain.
Answer: This is one of the common Azure interview questions which should be answered that

it is a logical working domain in which the underlying hardware is sharing a common power
source and switch network. This means that when VMs is created the Azure distributes the VM
across the fault domain that limits the potential impact of hardware failure, power interruption or
outages of the network.
Q.) What do you mean by a BLOB and what are their types?
Answer: BLOB is a Binary Large Object that is composed of any size and type of file. They are
mainly of two types-the page and the block blob.
Explain the Window Azure platform?
Answer: It is collectively a PaaS developed by the Microsoft programmed to run a deployment

vehicle and a runtime for the data center to host the cloud computing. Let’s proceed to the next
general Azure Interview Questions that may be asked.
Q.)Explain the different deployment model of the cloud?
Answer: When asked as the Azure cloud interview question you should answer it in the following
way. There are various deployment models for the cloud;
 Private Cloud Deployment Model is one where you own the infrastructure and the cloud
provider enables you to get the service exclusively.
 Public Cloud Deployment Model is one where you get the multi-tenant infrastructure
from the service provider exclusively.
 Hybrid Cloud Deployment Model is a set up of intermixed public and private data in
which the confidential data will be served in-house and the public directed website is
there to address the public.
Q.) State the purpose of the cloud configuration file?
Answer: There is a primary .csfg file available with each and every cloud service. The main purpose
of this file is
 They hold the main copy of certificates.

 They have the storage of user-defined settings.
 There are a number of instances in any service project.
Q.) What are the main functions of the Azure Cloud Service?
Answer: The main functions of the Azure Cloud Service are;
 It is designed to host the running application and at the same time manage the
background running application.
 The application of web processing is termed as “web role” whereas the background
processing is termed as the “worker role”.
Q.) What are the different types of roles?
Answer: There are basically three different types of roles;
 Web Role that is used to deploy website by making use of language which is supported
by the IIS platform customized to run the web application.
 VM Role is used to schedule the window services and task. It is done by the user through
customization of the machine on which the worker’s role is running.
 Worker Role is to execute the process that runs in the background by deploying the
website.
Q.) Define role instance in Azure.

A role instance is nothing but a virtual machine where the application code runs with the help of
running role configurations. There can also be multiple instances of a role as per the definition in the
cloud service configuration files.
Q.) Why is Azure Diagnostics API needed?

Azure Diagnostics API helps us collect diagnostic data such as performance monitoring, system event
logs, etc from the applications that are running on Azure.
Q.) What is Azure Blob Storage?

 Azure Blob storage is the object storage solution provided by Microsoft for the cloud. Blob
stands for “Binary Large Object”. Blob-based storage is used to store massive unstructured data in
terms of text or binary format. It is ideal for serving documents/images/audio/video/text directly to
browser.
Q.) What is NSG?
NSG stands for Network Security Group that has a list of ACL (Access Control List) rules which either
allows/denies network traffic to subnets or NICs (Network Interface Card) connected to a subnet or
both. When NSG is linked with a subnet, then the ACL rules are applied to all the Virtual Machines in
that subnet.
Q.) What is Azure Resource Manager?
Azure Resource Manager is a service provided by Azure to provide management and application
deployment in Azure.
The resource manager provides the management layer that helps the developer to create, modify or
delete the resources in the Azure subscription account.
Q.) Is it possible to design applications that handle connection failure in Azure?
Yes, it is possible and is done by means of the Transient Fault Handling Block. There can be multiple
causes of transient failures while using the cloud environment:
Q.) Is it possible to login to a Linux Virtual Machine without using a password?
Yes, it is possible by making use of the Key Vault mapping to any Admin VM, we can log in to another
VM without the need for a password.
Q.) Is it possible to get a public DNS or IP address for the Azure Internal Load Balancer?
No! As the name itself says, Azure Internal Load Balancer supports only Private IP addresses, and
hence the assignment of a public IP address or DNS name is not possible.
Q.) Is it possible to map the Windows machines running on two different port numbers, say 80 and
81, on an IIS Web Server to an Azure Load Balancer?
Yes, it can be done by defining a separate Load Balancer Role in Azure.
