  1. A company is migrating an on-premises application to Azure and needs to ensure that secrets, keys, and certificates are managed securely with auditable access. Which Azure service should be used?

    Answer: Azure Key Vault

    Azure Key Vault provides centralized, hardware-backed storage for secrets, keys, and certificates with comprehensive access policies and audit logging.

  2. An architect needs to design a serverless API that scales automatically and supports OpenAPI specifications. Which Azure service provides this capability with minimal management overhead?

    Answer: Azure API Management

    Azure API Management provides a fully managed API gateway that supports OpenAPI import, automatic scaling, and acts as a facade for backend services.

  3. A solution architect needs to replicate an Azure SQL Database to a secondary region with automatic failover and minimal data loss. Which feature should be configured?

    Answer: Active Geo-Replication

    Active Geo-Replication continuously replicates an Azure SQL Database to a readable secondary in another region and supports automatic or manual failover.

  4. A company needs to implement a CI/CD pipeline for deploying containerized applications to AKS. Which Azure native service provides end-to-end DevOps pipeline capabilities?

    Answer: Azure DevOps Pipelines

    Azure DevOps Pipelines provides CI/CD automation for building, testing, and deploying containerized applications to AKS and other Azure services.

  5. An application needs to process messages in a guaranteed order and ensure each message is processed exactly once. Which Azure messaging service best meets these requirements?

    Answer: Azure Service Bus with sessions

    Azure Service Bus with message sessions supports ordered processing and duplicate detection, guaranteeing FIFO delivery and exactly-once processing semantics.

  6. A company wants to implement zero-trust network security for Azure-hosted applications. Which approach enforces identity verification for every access request regardless of network location?

    Answer: Azure AD Conditional Access with MFA

    Azure AD Conditional Access with MFA enforces identity verification and policy-based access controls for every request, implementing zero-trust principles regardless of network location.

  7. When designing an Azure solution, a company needs to run background jobs that process items from a queue triggered by queue depth. Which Azure compute option is most appropriate?

    Answer: Azure Functions with Queue trigger

    Azure Functions with a Queue Storage or Service Bus trigger automatically scales and invokes functions in response to queue messages, ideal for event-driven background processing.
