Microsoft - AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Sample Questions
Question: 563
Measured Skill: Describe cloud concepts (20-25%)
Select the answer that correctly completes the sentence.
| A | A cloud service provider's service-level agreement (SLA) expresses availability as a percentage of uptime over a given year. |
| B | A cloud service provider's service-level agreement (SLA) expresses elasticity as a percentage of uptime over a given year. |
| C | A cloud service provider's service-level agreement (SLA) expresses reliability as a percentage of uptime over a given year. |
| D | A cloud service provider's service-level agreement (SLA) expresses scalability as a percentage of uptime over a given year. |
Correct answer: AExplanation:
The Service Level Agreements (SLA) describe Microsoft’s commitments for uptime and connectivity for Microsoft Online Services. Service availability is the amount of time that a provider's service is available for use. This is sometimes measured in a time slot. For example, your SLA might specify that a provider's service will be available for a minimum of 99.5% capacity for a specific 12-hour window each day.

Question: 564
Measured Skill: Describe Azure architecture and services (35–40%)
Select the answer that correctly completes the sentence.
| A | If you delete data from an Azure Cosmos DB datastore before 30 days has elapsed, you must pay an early deletion fee. |
| B | If you delete data from Azure SQL Database before 30 days has elapsed, you must pay an early deletion fee. |
| C | If you delete data from the cool access tier of Azure Blob Storage before 30 days has elapsed, you must pay an early deletion fee.
|
| D | If you delete data from the hot access tier of Azure Blob Storage before 30 days has elapsed, you must pay an early deletion fee. |
Correct answer: CExplanation:
Blobs are subject to an early deletion penalty if they are deleted, overwritten or moved to a different tier before the minimum number of days required by the tier have transpired. For example, a blob in the cool tier in a general-purpose v2 account is subject to an early deletion penalty if it's deleted or moved to a different tier before 30 days has elapsed. For a blob in the cold tier, the deletion penalty applies if it's deleted or moved to a different tier before 90 days has elapsed. This charge is prorated. For example, if a blob is moved to the cool tier and then deleted after 21 days, you'll be charged an early deletion fee equivalent to 9 (30 minus 21) days of storing that blob in the cool tier. Early deletion charges also occur if the entire object is rewritten through any operation (i.e. Put Blob, Put Block List, or Copy Blob) within the specified time window. This charge is prorated based on the data storage price of the corresponding tier, i.e. deleting an archived blob after 120 days will lead to this object being charged for 180 days.
Note: In an account that has soft delete enabled, a blob is considered deleted after it is deleted and retention period expires. Until that period expires, the blob is only soft-deleted and is not subject to the early deletion penalty.

Question: 565
Measured Skill: Describe Azure management and governance (30–35%)
Select the answer that correctly completes the sentence.
| A | Initiatives are used to group related Azure policies. |
| B | Management groups are used to group related Azure policies. |
| C | Parameters are used to group related Azure policies. |
| D | Resource groups are used to group related Azure policies. |
Correct answer: AExplanation:
Azure Policy is a service in Azure which allows you create polices which enforce and control the properties of a resource. When these policies are used they enforce different rules and effects over your resources, so those resources stay compliant with your IT governance standards.
An Azure initiative is a collection of Azure policy definitions that are grouped together towards a specific goal or purpose in mind. Azure initiatives simplify management of your policies by grouping a set of policies together as one single item. For example, you could use the PCI-DSS built-in initiative which has all the policy definitions that are centered around meeting PCI-DSS compliance.
Similar to Azure Policy, initiatives have definitions ( a bunch of policies ) , assignments and parameters. Once you determine the definitions that you want, you would assign the initiative to a scope so that it can be applied.
