This question evaluates your knowledge of Azure Virtual Machines — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305). Understanding Azure Virtual Machines is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
Your application requires high CPU performance for compute-intensive workloads like video encoding. Which Azure Virtual Machines instance type is optimized for this?
To protect your virtual machines from brute-force RDP and SSH attacks, which feature of Microsoft Defender for Cloud should you implement to provide 'Just-In-Time' (JIT) network access?
You are designing a high-scale microservices application. You want to use a serverless container platform that handles scaling, traffic splitting (for blue/green deployments), and Dapr integration without managing Kubernetes clusters. Which service should you choose?
Which Azure security feature provides a way to 'Shadow' or proxy your on-premises SSH and RDP management traffic through the Azure portal, eliminating the need for public IP addresses on your VMs?
To increase the availability of your application, you want to deploy your virtual machines across different data centers within an Azure region that have independent power, cooling, and networking. What is this concept called?
