Premium tier
Transaction-optimized tier
Archive tier offers the lowest storage costs for data that is rarely accessed and can tolerate retrieval latency. Hot tier is for frequent access, Premium tier is high-performance, and there is no 'transaction-optimized' tier.
Which Azure feature allows you to automatically scale resources based on metrics?
Autoscale rules in Azure Monitor
Azure Scheduler
Azure Logic Apps
Azure Functions
Autoscale rules in Azure Monitor let you define scaling conditions based on metrics like CPU or memory. Scheduler runs jobs on a schedule, Logic Apps orchestrate workflows, and Functions run code on demand.
Which Azure service provides disaster recovery by replicating on-premises workloads to Azure?
Azure Site Recovery
Azure Backup
Azure Migrate
Azure Data Factory
Azure Site Recovery orchestrates replication of on-premises or Azure VMs to a secondary location for business continuity. Backup protects data snapshots, Migrate helps assess and move workloads, and Data Factory handles data integration.
To grant a VM secure access to retrieve secrets from Azure Key Vault without credentials, which feature should you use?
Managed identities for Azure resources
Service principals
Shared access signatures
Azure AD B2C
Managed identities provide an automatically managed identity in Azure AD for applications to access resources like Key Vault without storing credentials. Service principals require manual secret management, SAS is for storage, and B2C is for consumer identity.
In a hub-and-spoke network topology, where should Azure Firewall be deployed for centralized traffic control?
In the hub virtual network
In each spoke network
In the on-premises network
In an Azure DNS zone
In a hub-and-spoke design, deploying Azure Firewall in the hub VNet centralizes traffic inspection for all spokes. Placing it in spokes duplicates infrastructure, on-premises is outside Azure, and DNS zones do not host firewalls.
Which Azure disk storage option offers sub-millisecond latency for I/O-intensive applications?
Ultra Disk Storage
Premium SSD
Standard HDD
Standard SSD
Ultra Disk Storage provides configurable IOPS and throughput with sub-millisecond latency for demanding workloads. Premium SSD offers high performance but higher latency, and Standard disks are lower cost with higher latency.
When diagnosing intermittent network connectivity issues between VMs, which Azure Network Watcher feature provides step-by-step connection checking?
Connection Troubleshoot
IP Flow Verify
NSG Flow Logs
Packet Capture
Connection Troubleshoot simulates a TCP connection and shows the network path and any failures between endpoints. IP Flow Verify checks rule evaluation, NSG Flow Logs show aggregated flows, and Packet Capture records raw traffic.
