Microsoft AZ-900 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.

  Your Azure trial account expired last week. You are now unable to create additional Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) user accounts.

  Instructions: Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select "No change is needed". If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

  A. No change is needed
  B. start an existing Azure virtual machine
  C. access your data stored in Azure
  D. access the Azure portal
  B. start an existing Azure virtual machine

  ---

  Your Azure trial account expired last week. You are now unable to "start an existing Azure virtual machine."

  After an Azure Free Trial subscription expires, the subscription is disabled to prevent accidental charges.

  Resource-dependent services, such as Azure Virtual Machines, cannot be started or created because they require compute resources.

  Azure Active Directory (Azure AD, now Microsoft Entra ID) is largely independent of the subscription's billing status. Basic administrative tasks, including creating user accounts, are still allowed.

  Therefore, the original statement about creating Azure AD users is incorrect, and the correct statement reflects the limitation on starting existing VMs.

  References: Microsoft Learn: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/subscription-disabled

  "When a subscription is disabled, you cannot create or start billable resources. However, management tasks in Azure AD / Microsoft Entra are generally still allowed."

  Regarding accessing the portal and overall disabled state:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/reactivate-disabled-subscription

  Title: Reactivate a disabled Azure subscription-Microsoft Cost Management Supports the claim that you can still sign in to the portal.

  Regarding the disabled state, stopping of VMs, and read-only storage:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/subscription-states

  Title: Azure subscription states-Microsoft Cost Management

  This page defines the Disabled state, confirming that VMs are deallocated and storage is read-only.

  Regarding Free Trial specific expiration:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-subscription-trial

  Title: Create an Azure Free Account-Microsoft Cost Management

  This page explains what happens when the 12-month free services or credits expire, leading to the Disabled state mentioned in the previous link.

  Regarding Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) service independence:

  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/service-capabilities-features

  Title: What is Microsoft Entra ID?-Microsoft Entra

  This provides the context that core identity features (like basic user management/creation) are often included in the Free tier, which is generally not dependent on the consumption billing status of an Azure subscription.

  Which cloud computing model includes on-premises and cloud-based resources?

  A. private
  B. public
  C. hybrid
  C. hybrid

  ---

  A hybrid cloud - sometimes called a cloud hybrid - is a computing environment that combines an on-premises datacenter (also called a private cloud) with a public cloud, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. Some people define hybrid cloud to include "multicloud" configurations where an organization uses more than one public cloud in addition to their on-premises datacenter.

• Question 104:

  DRAG DROP

  Match the Azure services to the appropriate descriptions.

  To answer, drag the appropriate service from the column on the left to its description on the right. Each service may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

  Explanation:

  Box 1: ExpressRoute

  ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection with the help of a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.

  Box 2: Virtual network peering

  Virtual network peering enables you to seamlessly connect two or more Virtual Networks in Azure. The virtual networks appear as one for connectivity purposes. The traffic between virtual machines in peered virtual networks uses the Microsoft backbone infrastructure.

  Box 3: VPN gateway

  VPN gateways provide secure connectivity between multiple sites, such as on-premises data centers, Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, and Google Cloud VMware Engine private clouds. Traffic is encrypted because the VPN connections traverse the internet.
