  1. What is an Azure Resource Group?

    Answer: A logical container used to organize and manage related Azure resources

    A Resource Group is a logical container in Azure that holds related resources for a solution, allowing you to manage, monitor, and control access to those resources as a single unit.

  2. Which Azure pricing model requires no upfront commitment and charges only for the compute resources consumed during actual use?

    Answer: Pay-as-you-go

    Pay-as-you-go charges you only for the services you use, billed monthly with no upfront costs or long-term contracts, making it the most flexible option for getting started.

  3. Which Azure service provides cloud-based identity and access management, enabling single sign-on to Microsoft cloud applications and other third-party services?

    Answer: Azure Active Directory

    Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service that lets employees sign in and access resources, supporting single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access.

  4. Which Azure tool allows you to estimate the monthly cost of Azure services before deploying any resources?

    Answer: Azure Pricing Calculator

    The Azure Pricing Calculator is a web-based tool that lets you configure and estimate costs for Azure products before committing to any deployment, helping with budget planning.

  5. What is the minimum number of Availability Zones present in an Azure region that supports them?

    Answer: 3

    Azure regions that support Availability Zones always contain at least three physically separate zones within the region, ensuring that a failure in one zone does not affect the others and enabling high-availability deployments.

  6. Which Azure service lets you run containerized applications on-demand without provisioning or managing the underlying virtual machine infrastructure?

    Answer: Azure Container Instances

    Azure Container Instances (ACI) is the fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure — it launches containers directly without requiring you to manage VMs or adopt a full orchestration platform.
