Question 155 of 982
Identify considerations for relational data on Azure →easyMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The correct answer is the Azure SQL Database server. This ARM template snippet is correct because the properties defined—such as serverName, administratorLogin, and administratorLoginPassword—are specific to provisioning a logical SQL Server that hosts Azure SQL Databases, whereas Azure SQL Managed Instance requires properties like managedInstanceCreateMode and subnetId, and Azure Database for MySQL uses different authentication and storage settings. On the Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between Azure data services by recognizing key deployment parameters in ARM templates, a common scenario where candidates confuse the SQL Database server with a Managed Instance. A frequent trap is seeing “SQL” and assuming it’s a Managed Instance, but remember: if you see administratorLogin and serverName, it’s the standard server for single databases or elastic pools. Memory tip: “Admin login and server name mean a standard SQL server game.”

DP-900 Practice Question: Identify considerations for relational data on Azure

This DP-900 practice question tests your understanding of identify considerations for relational data on azure.

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

✓

Azure SQL Database server

Option A is correct because the properties include serverName, administratorLogin, etc., which are for an Azure SQL Database server. Option B is wrong because Azure SQL Managed Instance deployment uses different properties. Option C is wrong because Azure Database for MySQL has different properties. Option D is wrong because Azure Synapse Analytics workspace has different properties.

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.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

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.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • 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 cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
