A company is adopting a landing zone approach in Azure. The governance team wants to automatically provision a standardized environment for each new Azure subscription. The environment must include: a predefined set of Azure Policy assignments (e.g., enforce resource tagging), specific RBAC role assignments for a central operations team, and a baseline resource group containing a storage account with a specific configuration. The team wants to package all these components into a single, versioned object that can be assigned to a management group and updated over time as requirements change. Which Azure governance service should the team use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Azure Policy

Azure Policy is used to enforce compliance rules on existing resources, but it cannot deploy resources like storage accounts or assign RBAC roles. It only manages policy definitions and assignments, not the full set of infrastructure and roles required by the scenario.

B

Best answer

Azure Blueprints

Azure Blueprints enables you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources (including policies, roles, and ARM templates) that implement and adhere to your organization's standards. Blueprints are versioned and can be assigned to management groups to automatically provision the environment in all child subscriptions.

C

Distractor review

Azure Management Groups

Azure Management Groups provide a hierarchical structure for organizing and managing subscriptions, such as applying policies at scale. However, they do not inherently deploy resources or assign roles; they are containers that help with governance but do not provision environments.

D

Distractor review

Azure Resource Graph

Azure Resource Graph is a service that allows you to query and explore Azure resources across subscriptions. It is used for inventory and discovery, not for provisioning or governance enforcement. It cannot deploy a standardized environment.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Question 1

A developer is building a serverless application that requires integration with an on-premises SQL Server database for real-time data processing. The on-premises network is connected to Azure via a site-to-site VPN. Which Azure service would allow the function to securely access the on-premises database without exposing it to the public internet?

Question 2

A solutions architect is designing a storage solution for a large media company. The company needs to store video files that are accessed infrequently but must be retained for several years for compliance. Which two Azure storage options meet these requirements? (Select two.)

Question 3

A company deploys a multi-tier application using Azure virtual machines. The web tier VMs must be evenly distributed across two distinct data centers within an Azure region to avoid a single point of failure from an infrastructure outage. Which Azure construct should they use to meet this requirement?

Question 4

A company wants to enforce a set of security policies across all their Azure subscriptions. They have created several individual policy definitions. Which Azure construct should they use to group these policies together and assign them as a single package?

Question 5

A company deploys a line-of-business application on an Azure virtual machine. The IT team wants to ensure the application remains secure. According to the shared responsibility model, which of the following security tasks is the sole responsibility of the customer (the company)?

Question 6

A company develops a web API that runs on Azure App Service. The development team wants to deploy a new version of the API to a staging environment, run integration tests against it, and then gradually shift production traffic to the new version. If any issues are detected, they want to immediately roll back to the previous version without redeploying. Which Azure App Service feature should the team use to meet these requirements?

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Azure Blueprints — Azure Blueprints (option B) is the correct service because it is designed to define a repeatable set of Azure resources that adhere to an organization's standards, patterns, and requirements. A blueprint can include policy assignments, role assignments, and ARM templates (for resources like storage accounts). It can be versioned and assigned to a management group, ensuring all subscriptions under that group automatically receive the defined components. Azure Policy only manages policy definitions and cannot deploy resources or assign roles. Management Groups provide a hierarchical structure for organizing subscriptions but do not deploy or configure resources. Azure Resource Graph is a query tool for exploring resources, not for provisioning or governance enforcement.
