1) You are designing a solution that needs to store and process vast amounts of unstructured data (text, images) and analyze it with big data tools. Which combination of Azure services should you use?
2) A retail application needs to process real-time purchase transactions from stores worldwide. Which Azure service would be best for ingesting and processing this high-throughput, real-time data?
3) Your team is building a machine learning model on Azure that involves experimenting with different algorithms and parameters. Which Azure service is best suited to this iterative process?
4) You need to set up a CI/CD pipeline for a project that requires automated builds, tests, and deployments to multiple environments. Which Azure service provides the necessary integration for this process?
5) You are tasked with ensuring sensitive data in an Azure SQL Database remains protected at rest and in transit. Which two options would best accomplish this?
6) You need to set up a secure pipeline for processing and storing data from an on-premises environment into Azure Blob Storage. Which combination of tools best supports this secure data transfer?
7) For an e-commerce website with users from various geographic regions, you need to ensure low latency and reliable connectivity. Which Azure service can direct traffic to the closest data center?
8) You are implementing a serverless solution that processes files as they are uploaded to Azure Blob Storage. Which Azure service is ideal for triggering the process upon file upload?
9) A SaaS company needs a database solution that can automatically scale to accommodate high transaction volumes and maintain low latency globally. Which service would meet these requirements?
10) For a solution that involves ingesting, transforming, and storing data for BI reporting, which Azure services would be ideal for the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process?
11) You need to deploy a highly available API endpoint with backend services located in multiple regions. Which service allows you to provide global load balancing and failover capabilities?
12) To track changes in Azure resources over time, such as updates to VM configurations and network settings, which service would you use?
13) You are managing a multi-tier application that needs separate resource management and security controls for each tier. Which approach would help achieve this effectively?
14) You have an application with sensitive data that must remain within the company’s on-premises environment while using Azure for scalable data processing. Which Azure architecture pattern would best support this?
15) A manufacturing company needs to monitor IoT device data continuously and trigger alerts based on threshold breaches. Which combination of services would best meet this requirement?
16) You need to implement an Azure SQL Database that replicates data between primary and secondary regions for disaster recovery. Which replication feature should you enable?
17) You are setting up a data lake that allows for both structured and unstructured data with fine-grained access control. Which Azure storage option supports this with optimal security management?
18) A financial services application needs to retain logs for auditing, with protection against accidental or intentional deletion. Which feature provides this immutability?
19) An enterprise wants to integrate multiple data sources, transform the data, and output it for use in Power BI reports. Which combination of Azure services would be ideal for this ETL and reporting workflow?
20) You need to deploy a set of applications across multiple VMs in a fault-tolerant and scalable way. Which Azure feature provides automatic load balancing and fault isolation?
