What the exam tests

What to know about Azure Monitor

Cloud concepts questions usually test the service model (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) and deployment model (public/private/hybrid/community) appropriate for a given scenario.

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS responsibilities and examples.

Public, private, hybrid and community cloud deployment models.

On-premises vs cloud trade-offs: cost, control, scalability.

How cloud connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute) work.

Watch out for

Common Azure Monitor exam traps

  • ▸IaaS gives you infrastructure control; SaaS gives you only the application.
  • ▸Hybrid cloud combines on-premises and public cloud — not two public clouds.
  • ▸Cloud does not automatically mean cheaper or more secure.
  • ▸Management responsibility shifts with each service model (IaaS → PaaS → SaaS).

Frequently asked questions

What does the AZ-104 exam test about Azure Monitor?
Cloud concepts questions usually test the service model (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) and deployment model (public/private/hybrid/community) appropriate for a given scenario.
How should I use these practice questions?
Select your answer before revealing the explanation. Then read why each option is right or wrong — this active recall approach builds retention far faster than re-reading notes.
Can I practise just Azure Monitor questions in a focused session?
Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Azure Monitor domain. Use a 10-question session first to gauge your baseline, then move to 20 or 30 once the weak spots are clear.
Where can I practise other AZ-104 topics?
Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the AZ-104 question bank to see all topics.
Are these real exam questions or dumps?
These are original practice questions written to test the same concepts the AZ-104 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
