Scenario practice questions
Use this page to practise AZ-204 Scenario practice questions. The goal is not to memorise dumps, but to understand the concept, review the explanation and improve your exam readiness.
What the exam tests
What to know about Scenario
Scenario questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
How the topic appears in realistic exam-style scenarios.
Which detail in the question changes the correct answer.
How to eliminate plausible but wrong options.
How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.

Question 2mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are developing an application that writes logs to Azure Blob Storage. Each log entry is small (less than 1 KB) and you need to store millions of entries per day. You want to minimize storage costs and maximize write throughput. Which blob type should you use?
Question 3hardmultiple choice
Full question →You need to store billions of small log entries (each ~200 bytes) generated from multiple IoT devices. The logs are written in chronological order and are rarely updated. You need to run queries that scan large ranges of data by timestamp each day. You want to maximize write throughput and minimize storage costs. Which Azure Storage solution should you choose?
Question 4mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an IoT solution that generates millions of small log entries (each less than 1 KB) per day. The logs are rarely read, and when they are read, they are always accessed in chronological order. You need to minimize storage costs and maximize write throughput. Which Azure Blob Storage type should you use?
Question 5easymultiple choice
Full question →A company stores archival data in Azure Blob Storage. The data is accessed only a few times per year, and retrieval can take up to 15 hours. Which blob access tier minimizes storage costs while meeting these requirements?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building an Azure Logic App that must call an external API that uses the OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant. The API requires the user to sign in interactively to grant consent. You want to minimize development effort and securely manage the token lifecycle. Which built-in action and authentication method should you use?
Question 7hardmultiple choice
Full question →You need to emit a custom metric in Application Insights that tracks the number of page views per browser. You expect high volume (millions of events per day). Which API should you use to ensure efficient pre-aggregation and avoid performance issues?
Question 8mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are using Application Insights to monitor an ASP.NET Core web API. Users report that a specific endpoint is slow, but you cannot reproduce the issue in development. You need to identify which line of code is causing the delay in production. Which Application Insights feature should you use?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building a serverless workflow using Azure Logic Apps. The workflow must start when a new blob is uploaded to a specific container in Azure Blob Storage. Which trigger should you configure?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →An application stores large media files (up to 5 GB) that are frequently appended to but rarely read sequentially. Which Azure Blob Storage type should be used to optimize writes and cost?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are building a data pipeline that writes billions of small log records (each ~200 bytes) to Azure Blob Storage. The logs are always written in chronological order and are read sequentially in order. You must minimize storage cost and achieve maximum write throughput. Which blob type should you use?
Question 12easymultiple choice
Full question →You are developing an application that writes log entries to Azure Blob Storage. Each log entry is approximately 500 bytes, and you expect to generate millions of entries per day. The logs are rarely read, and when they are read, you need to retrieve ranges of logs sequentially. Which blob type should you use to minimize storage costs and maximize write throughput?
Question 13mediummultiple choice
Full question →You are implementing an order processing system using Azure Durable Functions. The function must send notifications to multiple channels (email, SMS, push) in parallel and wait for all to complete before sending a confirmation. Which Durable Functions feature should you utilize?
Question 14mediummultiple choice
Full question →You have an order processing system using Azure Service Bus. Each order generates multiple messages that must be processed in order and by the same consumer. Which Service Bus feature ensures this?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →You need to store large binary files (up to 2 GB) that are frequently overwritten in place (entire file replaced). You want to minimize storage cost and write latency. Which Azure Blob Storage type should you use?
Question 16easymultiple choice
Full question →You need to store terabytes of archival data that must be retained for 10 years. The data is accessed once or twice per year. You need to minimize storage costs. Which Azure Storage tier should you use?
Watch out for
Common Scenario exam traps
- ▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
- ▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
- ▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
- ▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the AZ-204 exam test about Scenario?
- Scenario 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 Scenario questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Scenario 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-204 topics?
- Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the AZ-204 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-204 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
