Question 2mediummultiple choice
Full question →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?
Question 3easymultiple choice
Full question →A build pipeline needs to run a Linux container for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. The team does not want to manage servers, clusters, or an always-on VM. Which Azure service should be used?
Question 4easymultiple choice
Full question →A company hosts a stateless web application behind a load balancer. Traffic increases during the day and drops at night. The team wants Azure to automatically add or remove identical VM instances based on demand. What should the administrator deploy?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →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?
Question 6easymultiple choice
Full question →A build pipeline must run a Linux container for about 10 minutes per request. The team does not want to manage servers or a Kubernetes cluster. Which Azure service should the administrator choose?
Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →A branch office with a fixed public IP needs encrypted access to private Azure virtual machines and internal services in a VNet. Traffic must travel across the public internet in an encrypted tunnel, and the connection should use a route-based design. What should the administrator deploy in Azure?
Question 8mediummultiple choice
Full question →A branch office uses an on-premises firewall that supports IPsec/IKE and has a stable public IP. The office needs always-on private connectivity to an Azure VNet over the internet. Which Azure component should the administrator deploy?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →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?
Question 10easymultiple choice
Full question →A company wants an alert to be sent by email and SMS whenever a production virtual machine's CPU percentage goes above 80 percent. The administrator also wants the notification targets to be reusable by other alerts later. What should the administrator configure first?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →A help desk analyst wants a query in Log Analytics that returns Azure virtual machines that have stopped sending a heartbeat for more than 15 minutes. Which KQL query should the analyst run?
Question 12mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a virtual machine in a subnet that must access an Azure Storage account. The storage account should remain reachable through its public endpoint, but access must be limited to that subnet, and the traffic should stay on the Azure backbone rather than the internet. Which feature should the administrator configure on the subnet?
Question 13hardmulti select
Full question →A contractor needs Contributor on only VM1 and VM2 in rg-prod. Other resources in rg-prod must remain untouched, and the contractor must not gain access to any other resource groups or subscriptions. Which two role-assignment scopes meet the requirement? Select two.
Question 14mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer deleted a single configuration file on a Windows Azure VM. The administrator wants to restore only that file from the latest backup without replacing the entire VM. Which restore workflow should be used?
Question 15easymultiple choice
Full question →A developer wants to publish an internet-facing web application from source code. The solution must support built-in HTTPS, deployment slots for testing, and autoscale. The team does not want to manage servers. Which Azure service should the administrator recommend?
Question 16mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer packages an internal web app as a Linux container. The app must be published with built-in HTTPS, deployment slots, and autoscale, and the team does not want to manage OS patching or container hosts. Which Azure service should the administrator choose?
Question 17easymultiple choice
Full question →A file server VM is corrupted after a bad change. The team needs to recover the whole machine to the latest recovery point, not just one file. Which restore workflow should they use?
Question 18easymultiple choice
Full question →A line-of-business app runs on a single Azure VM in a region that supports availability zones. The business wants the VM to keep running if one datacenter in the region becomes unavailable. Which deployment choice best meets this requirement?
Question 19hardmultiple choice
Full question →A project team has 12 operators who need to read resource properties and restart only the virtual machines in one application resource group. Access should be removed automatically when an operator leaves the team, and any new VMs added to that resource group should inherit the same access without further changes. What should the administrator configure?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →You need to view recommendations about underutilized virtual machines, security improvements, and cost-saving opportunities in Azure. Which service should you use?

Frequently asked questions
- What does the AZ-104 exam test about Virtual Machine?
- Virtual Machine questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
- 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 Virtual Machine questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Virtual Machine 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.
