What this objective tests

AZ-104 Deploy and Manage Azure Compute — Key Topics

Deploy and Manage Azure Compute questions on this certification test your ability to deploy and manage deploy and manage azure compute concepts in scenario-based situations.

Core Deploy and Manage Azure Compute concepts and how they apply in real-world cloud scenarios.
How to deploy deploy and manage azure compute correctly and verify the outcome.
Troubleshooting deploy and manage azure compute issues by interpreting error output and system state.
Cloud best practices and Deploy and Manage Azure Compute design trade-offs tested by this certification.

Common exam traps

Where candidates lose marks on Deploy and Manage Azure Compute

⚠Selecting the most expensive service when a simpler managed option meets the requirement.
⚠Forgetting that cloud resources must be explicitly secured — defaults are rarely secure.
⚠Choosing a global service fix when the issue is region-specific.
⚠Overlooking cost implications of cross-region data transfer in architecture questions.

AZ-104 Deploy and Manage Azure Compute — Practice Questions

You need to deploy 20 identical Azure virtual machines that host the same web application. The solution must support automatic scale-out based on CPU usage and should minimize administrative overhead. What should you deploy?

A virtual machine named VM-App01 hosts a critical internal application. You need to protect the VM so that it can be restored if the VM is deleted or corrupted. The solution must provide centralized backup management and retention policies. What should you use?

You need to restore a deleted file from a backed-up Azure virtual machine without restoring the entire VM. Which Azure Backup capability should you use?

You deploy several Windows virtual machines and need to install Microsoft Antimalware on each VM without logging on manually. What should you use?

Your company hosts an internal web app in Azure App Service. Access must be limited to users connecting from the corporate virtual network over private IP addresses only. What should you configure?

You plan to deploy two virtual machines that run the same line-of-business application. The VMs must remain available during planned maintenance of the Azure platform, but autoscaling is not required. What should you use?

You need to redeploy an Azure virtual machine to a new host while keeping the VM configuration and attached disks. Which action should you use in the Azure portal?

You have a virtual machine scale set that must increase the number of instances automatically when average CPU utilization exceeds 75 percent and decrease when utilization drops below 30 percent. What should you configure?

You have an application that writes heavily to Azure-managed disks and requires the highest consistent IOPS and lowest latency. Which disk type should you choose?

You plan to run a web application on Azure virtual machines and need protection against a single datacenter failure within an Azure region. Which deployment option should you use?

You need to run a scheduled script on an Azure virtual machine every time the VM starts. Which feature should you use?

A Windows VM fails to start after a configuration change. You need to capture screenshots and serial console output to troubleshoot the boot problem. Which feature should you use?

You need to reduce compute cost for a development virtual machine that is used only during business hours on weekdays. Which option provides the most direct built-in cost optimization?

A virtual machine scale set must increase instance count when average CPU exceeds 75 percent and decrease when it stays below 30 percent. What Azure feature should you configure?

You need to run a script on VM-App02 immediately after deployment to install a custom monitoring agent. The solution should not require opening additional inbound management ports. What should you use?

You need to run a stateless web workload on Azure virtual machines and automatically increase or decrease instance count based on demand. You also want a single management boundary for the VM instances. Which solution should you deploy?

You need to deploy several identical virtual machines and ensure that the failure of a single Azure host does not affect all of them. Which feature should you use?

An Azure virtual machine was moved to a host that is experiencing intermittent issues. You need to move the VM to a different Azure host while keeping the existing managed disks and configuration. Which action should you perform?

You need to deploy 25 identical Azure virtual machines for a web application and scale the number of instances automatically based on CPU demand. Which Azure compute feature should you use?

You need to run a script inside an Azure virtual machine after deployment to install application prerequisites. Which feature should you use?

You need to deploy a set of identical Azure virtual machines that can automatically scale out during demand spikes and scale in when usage falls. Which Azure feature should you use?

You need to deploy 30 identical Azure virtual machines for a web application and scale the instance count automatically based on CPU demand. Which Azure compute feature should you use?

You need to ensure that a virtual machine is protected by Azure Backup and can be restored from centralized backup data if the VM is deleted. Which Azure resource should you configure first?

You need to deploy a group of identical Azure virtual machines and ensure they are distributed across fault domains and update domains to reduce the impact of host failures and planned maintenance. Which feature should you use?

You need to run a PowerShell script inside a newly deployed Azure virtual machine to configure application settings immediately after deployment. Which feature should you use?

You need to deploy 20 identical Azure virtual machines for a web application and automatically scale the number of instances based on CPU demand. Which Azure feature should you use?

You are deploying a stateless web application on Azure virtual machines. The solution must automatically add and remove instances based on CPU demand and allow all instances to be managed as one logical group. Which Azure compute feature should you deploy?

A line-of-business application must keep running even if one datacenter in an Azure region has an outage. Which deployment option should you choose for the VMs?

A line-of-business app requires protection against a datacenter outage in a region that supports zones. You want the strongest placement resilience available for the VMs. What should you choose?

A company runs two identical Linux VMs for a stateless web app in an Azure region that supports availability zones. The business requires protection from a full datacenter outage, not just planned host maintenance. Which deployment choice best meets this requirement?
