Sample AZ-900 practice questions
A company wants to move their infrastructure to Azure but keep full control over the operating system, middleware, and runtime. Which cloud service model should they use?
A. Software as a Service (SaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) ✓
D. Function as a Service (FaaS)
IaaS gives you virtual machines while you control the OS, middleware, and runtime. PaaS abstracts the OS. SaaS is fully managed. FaaS (serverless) is a subset of PaaS focused on individual functions.
Which Azure feature allows you to organize and apply governance at scale across multiple subscriptions?
A. Azure Resource Groups
B. Azure Management Groups ✓
C. Azure Blueprints
D. Azure Policy
Management Groups sit above subscriptions and allow you to apply policies, RBAC, and budgets across multiple subscriptions at once. Resource Groups organize resources within a subscription.
A company needs to store unstructured data like images and videos at low cost with high durability. Which Azure service is most appropriate?
A. Azure Blob Storage ✓
B. Azure SQL Database
C. Azure Table Storage
D. Azure File Storage
Azure Blob Storage is designed for unstructured data with tiered storage (Hot, Cool, Cold, Archive) to optimize cost. Azure SQL is relational. Table Storage is NoSQL key-value. File Storage provides SMB/NFS shares.
How to pass AZ-900
Azure Management & Governance is 40% of the exam
Study Azure Cost Management, Azure Advisor, Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, RBAC, Locks, and the Trust Center. These are conceptual — you need to know what each tool does and when to use it.
Know the difference between availability zones and regions
Regions are geographic locations. Availability Zones are physically separate data centers within a region. Paired regions provide regional disaster recovery. These distinctions appear in architecture questions.
