DP-900 Practice Question: Describe considerations for working with non-relational data on Azure

This DP-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe considerations for working with non-relational data on azure. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Exhibit

{
  "version": "2019-01-01",
  "name": "assignSasPolicy",
  "type": "Microsoft.Authorization/policyAssignments",
  "properties": {
    "policyDefinitionId": "/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/abcd-1234",
    "parameters": {
      "effect": "deny"
    },
    "scope": "/subscriptions/12345/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/storage1"
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator deploys this Azure Policy assignment. What is the most likely effect on storage account 'storage1'?

Clue words in this question

Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.

  • Clue: "most likely"

    Why it matters: Probability qualifier — the question wants the most probable cause or outcome, not a guaranteed one. Eliminate low-probability options.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Public network access will be denied.

The Azure Policy assignment shown in the exhibit denies the creation or update of storage accounts that do not have public network access disabled. Since 'storage1' is subject to this policy, the policy will enforce the 'Deny' effect, preventing any configuration that allows public network access. If 'storage1' already exists and is compliant, it remains; if it is non-compliant, the policy will block changes that would enable public access, effectively denying public network access.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    Public network access will be denied.

    Why this is correct

    The 'deny' effect denies non-compliant requests.

    Clue confirmation

    The clue word "most likely" in the question point toward this answer.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    The storage account will be deleted.

    Why it's wrong here

    Policy does not delete resources.

  • ✗

    Firewall rules will be added.

    Why it's wrong here

    Firewall rules are not configured by this policy.

  • ✗

    Soft Delete will be enabled.

    Why it's wrong here

    Soft Delete is not related.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates confuse 'Deny' with 'DeployIfNotExists' or 'Modify' effects, assuming the policy will automatically change settings or delete resources, when in fact 'Deny' only blocks non-compliant requests.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

The 'publicNetworkAccess' property on Azure Storage accounts controls whether the account's endpoint is accessible from the internet. When set to 'Disabled', all traffic must come through private endpoints or service endpoints, effectively blocking any public IP-based access. This policy uses the 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts' resource type and the 'Deny' effect, which is evaluated during resource creation or update requests (PUT/PATCH) and blocks the operation if the condition is not met. In a real-world scenario, this policy is often used to enforce a zero-trust network model, ensuring that no storage account accidentally exposes data to the public internet.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
