Question 2easymultiple choice
Full question →You are deploying a containerized application to Azure Container Instances. The application requires a custom domain name and SSL/TLS termination. You need to configure these features. Which resource should you create alongside the container group?
Question 3mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer needs to run a Kusto query against application request data to identify 95th percentile latency by operation. Where should the query be run? The architecture review board prefers a managed AWS-native control.
Question 4mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are developing a web app that authenticates users via Microsoft Entra ID. The app needs to read the user's profile and send emails on their behalf. You want to minimize user consent prompts. Which OAuth 2.0 grant type should you use?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are developing an Azure Function that processes messages from an Azure Service Bus queue. The function uses a Service Bus queue trigger and runs on a Consumption Plan. The queue receives a high volume of messages in bursts. You need to ensure that the function scales out to handle the load but does not exceed 10 concurrent instances. Which configuration should you apply?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are monitoring an Azure App Service using Application Insights. You notice that the server response time is high for certain requests. You need to drill down to see which external dependencies (like databases or APIs) are causing the delay. Which Application Insights feature should you use?
Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building a serverless application that needs to react to insertions and updates in an Azure Cosmos DB container. You want to process these changes using an Azure Function. Which trigger should you configure for the function?
Question 8mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an Azure Logic App that must connect to a third-party CRM system using a custom API. The API requires an API key in the header of every request. You need to securely store the API key and reference it in the Logic App. Which approach should you use?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer needs to grant an Azure Function read access to secrets in Azure Key Vault without storing any credentials in the function code or configuration. Which approach should they use?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an Azure Logic App that needs to call a third-party REST API. The API requires an API key to be passed in the 'X-API-Key' header. You have stored the API key as a secret in Azure Key Vault. The Logic App uses a managed identity that has read access to the Key Vault secret. You want to retrieve the API key securely at runtime and include it in the HTTP request. Which approach should you use?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an event-driven application that needs to publish messages to multiple independent subscribers. Each subscriber must be able to filter messages based on custom properties, and each subscriber must receive all messages that match its filter, even if other subscribers have different filters. The solution must guarantee message delivery. Which Azure messaging service should you use?
Question 12hardmultiple choice
Full question →You are developing a web application that relies on a third-party weather API. The API has a rate limit of 10 requests per second per API key. You need to ensure your application never exceeds this limit and also caches responses for 10 minutes to reduce call frequency. Which combination of Azure services should you implement?
Question 13hardmultiple choice
Full question →You are developing a web API that must authenticate requests using Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) and OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. You want to validate the token in your API code. Which library should you use?
Question 14mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are using Azure Event Grid to respond to blob storage events (blob created). You need to ensure that only JPEG image files trigger a function for processing, while other files are ignored. The number of files is high, and you want to minimize cost and latency. How should you filter events?
Question 15easymultiple choice
Full question →You are building a web application that allows users to upload profile pictures. The images are up to 5 MB in size and must be stored durably. The images are accessed infrequently after upload (a few times per month). You want to minimize storage costs while ensuring the data is available within seconds when requested. Which Azure Blob Storage access tier should you use for the blob container?
Question 16mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are developing a .NET Core application that stores session state data. The data is infrequently updated but must be read quickly for every user request. You need a serverless, globally distributed storage solution with low latency reads. Which Azure storage solution should you use?
Question 17easymultiple choice
Full question →You are developing an ASP.NET Core application that needs to access Azure Key Vault to retrieve secrets. You have enabled a managed identity for the App Service. Which Azure SDK class should you use to authenticate to Key Vault?
Question 18mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an Azure Logic App that needs to call an external HTTP API secured with OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow. The client ID and client secret are stored in Azure Key Vault. You need to obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header of each request. Which combination of actions should you use within the Logic App?
Question 19easymultiple choice
Full question →You are designing a solution to store user-uploaded images. The images are accessed infrequently (a few times per month) and must be available for download within seconds when requested. You need to minimize storage costs while meeting the access requirements. Which Azure Blob Storage access tier should you choose for the container?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are deploying a container group to Azure Container Instances that runs a stateful application. The application writes data to the /data directory. You need to ensure that the data is preserved if the container restarts. Which volume mount type should you use?
Watch out for
Common Develop Azure Compute Solutions 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).
