Q1. An organization needs to enforce a rule that all new Azure Storage Accounts created in their 'Production' subscription must use Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and have HTTPS traffic only enabled. The creation of any non-compliant storage account must be blocked. What is the most effective and scalable Azure feature to implement this requirement?
  • A.  Assign a built-in RBAC role to the subscription
  • B.  Create an Azure Automation runbook that checks new resources
  • C.  Deploy all resources using a specific ARM template
  • D.  Assign an Azure Policy with a 'Deny' effect to the subscription
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. Assign an Azure Policy with a 'Deny' effect to the subscription
Azure Policy is the primary service for enforcing organizational standards. A policy with a 'Deny' effect will actively prevent the creation or modification of resources that do not comply with the defined rules, making it the ideal choice for enforcement.
Q2. An organization is migrating an on-premises SQL Server instance to Azure. The solution must provide the highest possible compatibility with instance-scoped features like SQL Server Agent and Service Broker, while minimizing management of the underlying infrastructure. Which Azure service should be recommended?
  • A.  SQL Server on an Azure Virtual Machine
  • B.  Azure SQL Database Single Database
  • C.  Azure SQL Managed Instance
  • D.  Azure SQL Database Elastic Pool
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. Azure SQL Managed Instance
Azure SQL Managed Instance is a fully managed PaaS offering designed for near 100% compatibility with on-premises SQL Server, including instance-scoped features, making it the ideal choice for lift-and-shift migrations.
Q3. An organization has a hybrid environment with VMware virtual machines on-premises and several IaaS VMs in Azure. They need a unified disaster recovery solution that can fail over both workloads to a secondary Azure region. Which service provides this capability?
  • A.  Azure Backup
  • B.  Azure Migrate
  • C.  Azure Site Recovery
  • D.  Azure Arc
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. Azure Site Recovery
Azure Site Recovery provides comprehensive DR orchestration for Azure-to-Azure, VMware-to-Azure, and Hyper-V-to-Azure scenarios, consolidating hybrid recovery into a single platform.
