Full question →A team needs to run a Linux container for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, triggered by an external system. They do not want to manage servers, clusters, or a web framework. Which Azure service is the best fit?
Question 12easymulti select
Full question →A team needs an alert that emails the operations group whenever a VM's average CPU percentage stays above 85% for 10 minutes. Which two Azure Monitor components must you configure? Select two.
Question 13easymultiple choice
Full question →A team wants an email and SMS notification whenever the average CPU on a production VM stays above 85% for 10 minutes. The same notification setup may be reused by other alerts later. Which Azure feature should you configure?
Question 14hardmultiple choice
Full question →After a bad script ran, one file at C:\Finance\Q4.xlsx was deleted from a Windows VM. The VM is still running, and the team wants only that file restored without replacing the operating system disk or restarting the VM. What should the administrator use from Azure Backup?
Question 15mediummulti select

Question 16mediummultiple choice
Full question →A Virtual Machine Scale Set must add instances automatically when average CPU usage is above 75 percent and remove instances when CPU drops below 30 percent. Which feature should you configure?
Question 17mediummultiple choice
Full question →A team standardizes 30 Windows VMs for a line-of-business application. They install IIS, a monitoring agent, and baseline security settings on one reference VM. Future deployments must use that same build and be easy to version. Which Azure feature should the administrator create?

Question 20mediummulti select
Full question →A Windows VM needs a one-time command run immediately after deployment, and a second VM must automatically install an agent and copy configuration files during provisioning. Which two Azure compute features should the administrator use? Select two.
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).
