Deploy and Manage Azure Compute practice questions

Use this page to practise Deploy and Manage Azure Compute questions for this certification. Focus on how the exam tests deploy and manage azure compute in scenario format — understanding the why behind each answer builds more durable knowledge than memorising options.

Courseiva uses original exam-style practice questions designed for learning and revision. The goal is to understand the concepts, recognise exam patterns, and improve through explanations — not memorise copied exam dumps.

Watch out for

Common Deploy and Manage Azure Compute exam traps

▸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.

Question 1mediummultiple choice

Read the full Deploy and Manage Compute explanation →

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?

Trap 1: 20 individual virtual machines in the same resource group.

This requires more manual management and does not provide group autoscaling by default.

Trap 2: An availability set.

Availability sets improve redundancy for VMs but do not provide autoscaling or fleet management.

Trap 3: Azure Container Instances.

This changes the compute model and does not fit the requirement for identical virtual machines.

A
20 individual virtual machines in the same resource group.
Why wrong: This requires more manual management and does not provide group autoscaling by default.
B
A Virtual Machine Scale Set.
VM Scale Sets provide a managed group of identical VMs with autoscaling support.
C
An availability set.
Why wrong: Availability sets improve redundancy for VMs but do not provide autoscaling or fleet management.
D
Azure Container Instances.
Why wrong: This changes the compute model and does not fit the requirement for identical virtual machines.

Deploy and Manage Azure Compute 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?
