    a. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
    b. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
    c. Software as a Service (SaaS)

Now that you have answered the sample questions, check how many of them are correct. Remember, the passing percentage is 70% for you to get certified for the Azure fundamentals AZ-900 exam.

Here are the correct answers:

  1.  c
    Explanation: High availability keeps the service up and running for long periods of time, with little downtime, depending on the service in question.
  2.  b
    Explanation: Management Groups facilitate the hierarchical ordering of Azure resources into collections, at a level of scope above subscriptions. Distinct governance conditions can be applied to each management group, with Azure Policy and Azure RBACs, to manage Azure subscriptions effectively. The resources and subscriptions assigned to a management group automatically inherit the conditions applied to the management group.
  3. a
    Explanation: Blobs. Azure Blob storage is Microsoft’s object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data.
  4. b
    Explanation: JSON: Resource Manager templates are JSON files that define the resources you need to deploy for your solution. You can use the template to easily re-create multiple versions of your infrastructure, such as staging and production
  5. c
    Explanation: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can require two or more elements for full authentication.
  6. c
    Explanation: Role-Based Access (RBAC) lets you grant users only the rights they need to perform their jobs.
  7. a
    Explanation: Service Level Agreements. The SLA defines performance targets for an Azure product or service.
  8. c
    Explanation: Public Preview means that an Azure feature is available to all Azure customers for evaluation purposes.
  9. a
    Explanation: Shared responsibility model is the correct answer. Under the shared responsibility model, management of the resource is shared between the cloud provider and the end-user. The cloud provider is responsible for the cloud services infrastructure and the end-user is responsible for the service being configured and managed correctly.
  10. b
    Explanation: Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the best choice here because the PaaS services handle the IT management tasks for you, so you can focus on writing code.

Disclaimer: These questions are NOT appearing in the certification exam. I, personally or CloudThat do not have any official tie-up with Microsoft regarding the certification or the kind of questions asked. These are my best guesses for the kind of questions to expect with Microsoft in general and with the examination.

How do I manage multiple Azure subscriptions?

When you define your management group hierarchy, first create the root management group. Then move all existing subscriptions in the directory into the root management group. New subscriptions always go into the root management group initially. Later, you can move them to another management group.

Which of the following allows you to easily manage access policies and compliance across multiple subscriptions?

If your organization has many Azure subscriptions, you may need a way to efficiently manage access, policies, and compliance for those subscriptions. Management groups provide a governance scope above subscriptions.

What can you use to deploy Azure resources across multiple subscriptions in a?

To simplify the management of resources, you can use an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) to deploy resources at the level of your Azure subscription. For example, you can deploy policies and Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to your subscription, which applies them across your subscription.

How do you apply Azure policy to multiple Azure subscriptions?

Log into the Azure portal with your Azure Active Directory (AD) global administrator account. Then navigate to the Properties blade and set the Global admin can manage Azure Subscriptions and Management Groups field to Yes.
