You want to convert an existing MSI installer into an MSIX package for use with MSIX app attach in Azure Virtual Desktop. Which tool provides the wizard-driven interface to capture and convert the application?

You have session hosts in a Virtual Network. To ensure Azure Virtual Desktop functions correctly, which DNS resolution capability must be available to the session hosts?

You need to update a generalized image used for a pooled host pool. After updating the golden VM and running sysprep, what is the most efficient way to update the existing session hosts?

You want to use Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) features to block logins to Azure Virtual Desktop if a user is logging in from a country where your company does not operate. What should you configure?

You are setting up Azure Virtual Desktop for internal employees. You plan to use Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session. What is the minimum Microsoft 365 or Windows license required for these users?

You need to automate the collection of AVD diagnostic data and trigger an email alert when a session host's CPU utilization exceeds 90% for 5 minutes. Which combination of services should you use?

You are building an Azure Function that processes orders from an Azure Service Bus queue. The function must ensure that each order is processed exactly once, even if the function crashes mid-processing. Which Service Bus feature guarantees this behavior?

Your Azure Function app needs to store temporary state between multiple function executions as part of a long-running workflow. The workflow includes human approval steps that can pause for days. Which solution should you implement?

You have an Azure Function triggered by a Timer. During load testing you notice that multiple instances of the function run simultaneously, causing duplicate processing. How do you prevent concurrent executions of a timer-triggered function?

Your Azure App Service web app stores connection strings for a database. You need to ensure the connection string value is different between your staging and production deployment slots. Which approach is correct?

You are building an application that uploads large files (up to 5 TB) to Azure Blob Storage. You need to implement a reliable upload that can resume if interrupted. Which approach should you use?

Your application needs to grant a third-party vendor temporary read access to a specific blob in a private Azure Storage container without exposing the storage account key. The access should expire in 2 hours. What should you use?

You are designing a multi-tenant SaaS application using Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL. Each tenant's data must be logically isolated and queries should never cross tenant boundaries. Query performance must be predictable. How should you partition the container?

You have published APIs through Azure API Management. A partner application is making too many requests and affecting other consumers. You need to limit the partner to 1,000 requests per hour without modifying backend code. What should you configure in APIM?

Your company exposes internal microservices through Azure API Management. You need to cache the response of a frequently called GET endpoint for 60 seconds to reduce backend load. How do you implement this?

You are implementing a publish-subscribe pattern where multiple services (email, SMS, audit) need to receive every order event independently. Each subscriber must process all messages at its own pace without affecting other subscribers. Which Azure Service Bus feature should you use?

Your order processing Service Bus queue has messages failing repeatedly. After 3 delivery attempts, the messages should be moved to a separate location for investigation without being lost. Which feature handles this automatically?

You need to trigger an Azure Function every time a new blob is uploaded to a specific Azure Storage container. The trigger must fire within seconds of the upload. Which approach offers the lowest latency and most native integration?

Your Event Grid subscription is receiving events but your Azure Function endpoint is failing to process them. Event Grid keeps retrying. You need to preserve undelivered events for up to 24 hours so they can be reprocessed after the bug is fixed. What should you configure?

Your Azure App Service application reads a database password from Azure Key Vault at startup. You want to avoid storing any credentials in code or configuration. The app must access Key Vault without a client secret. What is the recommended approach?

You rotated a database password and updated the secret in Azure Key Vault. Your App Service uses a Key Vault Reference to load the secret. However, the app still uses the old password. What is the most likely cause and how do you fix it?

You are implementing distributed session management for a horizontally scaled ASP.NET Core app using Azure Cache for Redis. After deployment, some users are getting logged out unexpectedly between requests. What is the most likely cause?

Your development team builds Docker images in a CI/CD pipeline and needs to store them securely in Azure. Only Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Instances (ACI) in the same subscription should be able to pull images without using admin credentials. What is the recommended setup?

You are deploying a microservice to Azure Container Apps. The service handles variable traffic — near-zero traffic at night and thousands of requests during business hours. You want to minimize cost during low-traffic periods. Which scaling configuration should you set?

You are building a web application that signs in users with their Microsoft work accounts and reads their calendar events from Microsoft Graph. During sign-in, you need to request permission to read calendars. Which OAuth 2.0 flow and permission type is correct for a server-side web app?

Your Azure Function app is throwing exceptions in production. You need to capture the full exception details, correlated request traces, and custom business events (like 'OrderPlaced') in one place so you can diagnose issues efficiently. Which solution should you implement?

You are analyzing Application Insights telemetry for your web API. You need to find all requests that took longer than 2 seconds in the last 24 hours and count them by operation name. Which tool in Application Insights should you use?

You are developing an API that must be called by other backend services (daemon apps) with no user interaction. These services need to access your API using their own identity. Which Microsoft Identity Platform flow should the calling services use?
