AZ-300 Azure Monitoring & Management 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Azure Monitor capability uses machine learning to detect anomalies and group related alerts from multiple signals into a single incident?
- Metric Alerts
- Log Search Alerts
- Azure Monitor Alerts correlation
- Smart Detection / AIOps (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Smart Detection / AIOps
Azure Monitor's AIOps (Smart Detection) uses ML to detect anomalies and correlate multiple alert signals into a single actionable incident, reducing alert noise.
Question 2: What is the purpose of Diagnostic Settings in Azure Monitor?
- Patch Azure resources automatically
- Configure where resource logs and metrics are sent (Log Analytics, Storage, Event Hub) (Correct answer)
- Create custom dashboards
- Set RBAC permissions on resources
Correct answer: Configure where resource logs and metrics are sent (Log Analytics, Storage, Event Hub)
Diagnostic Settings route a resource's platform logs and metrics to one or more destinations: Log Analytics workspace, Azure Storage, or Azure Event Hub.
Question 3: Which Azure service provides application performance monitoring (APM) with distributed tracing, dependency mapping, and availability testing?
- Azure Monitor Metrics
- Application Insights (Correct answer)
- Log Analytics
- Azure Network Watcher
Correct answer: Application Insights
Application Insights is an APM service within Azure Monitor that tracks request rates, failures, dependencies, exceptions, and user behavior for applications.
Question 4: What does Azure Cost Management + Billing enable architects to do?
- Deploy resources cheaper
- Analyze cloud spending, set budgets with alerts, and forecast future costs across subscriptions (Correct answer)
- Apply security policies
- Manage resource RBAC
Correct answer: Analyze cloud spending, set budgets with alerts, and forecast future costs across subscriptions
Azure Cost Management provides cost analysis dashboards, budget alerts, and forecasting to help organizations understand and control their Azure spending.
Question 5: Which Azure governance service allows you to deploy a consistent set of Azure resources, policies, and RBAC assignments across multiple subscriptions?
- Azure Policy
- Azure Blueprints (Correct answer)
- Management Groups
- Azure Resource Graph
Correct answer: Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints package resource templates, policies, and RBAC into reusable definitions that can be assigned to subscriptions for consistent governance.
Question 6: What does Azure Resource Graph allow architects to do?
- Create network topology diagrams
- Query the properties and relationships of Azure resources across subscriptions at scale using KQL (Correct answer)
- Monitor resource health
- Manage resource locks
Correct answer: Query the properties and relationships of Azure resources across subscriptions at scale using KQL
Azure Resource Graph provides a fast, scalable query interface to explore Azure resource properties, configurations, and relationships across tenants and subscriptions.
