compute resources exam questions
and answers
What type of service are VMs a part of? -
correct answer ✅IaaS
What kind of planning does Provisioning VMs to Azure require?
(hint: 7 steps) -
correct answer ✅Start with the network
Name the VM
Decide the location for the VM
Determine the size of the VM
Understanding the pricing model
Storage for the VM
Select an operating system
What are virtual networks (VNets) used in Azure to provide? -
correct answer ✅private connectivity between Azure VMs and
other Azure services
If the VMs and services are part of the same network, will they be
able to access one another? True or False? -
correct answer ✅True

compute resources exam questions
and answers
By default, services outside the VNet can't connect to services
within the virtual network. Is this something you can configure? -
correct answer ✅Yes, you can configure the network to allow
access to the external service, including your on-prem servers.
What is the character limit on Azure Windows VM and Linux VMs? -
correct answer ✅You can specify a name of up to 15 characters on
a Windows VM and 64 characters on a Linux VM.
What should a virtual machine name include? -
correct answer ✅The VM name should define a manageable Azure
resource. The name should be meaningful and consistent so you
can identify what the VM does.
What are some considerations for the location of a VM? -
correct answer ✅The location can limit your available options.
Each region has different hardware available and some
configurations aren't available in all regions.

compute resources exam questions
and answers
There are price differences between locations. If your workload
isn't bound to a specific location, it can be very cost effective to
check your required configuration in multiple regions to find the
lowest price.
Why do you need to be cautious when resizing production VMs? -
correct answer ✅Resizing may require a restart that can cause a
temporary outage or change configuration settings like the IP
address.
How many disks do All Azure VMS have? -
correct answer ✅minimum 2
-OS disk
-temp disk
All disks are stored as VHDs
Data on the temporary disk may be lost during a maintenance
event or when you redeploy a VM. True or False? -
correct answer ✅True.

compute resources exam questions
and answers
During a standard reboot of the VM, the data on the temporary
drive should persist. However, there are cases where the data may
not persist, such as moving to a new host. Therefore, any data on
the temp drive shouldn't be data that is critical to the system.
How do you connect to a Linux-based VM hosted in Azure? -
correct answer ✅SSH
SSH is an encrypted connection protocol that allows secure sign-ins
over unsecured connections. Depending on your organization's
security policies, you can reuse a single public-private key pair to
access multiple Azure VMs and services. You don't need a separate
pair of keys for each VM or service you wish to access.
How do you connect to a windows based VM hosted on Azure? -
correct answer ✅RDP
What is the Azure Bastion service? -
correct answer ✅The Azure Bastion service is a fully platform-
managed PaaS service. Bastion provides secure and seamless
RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly over SSL.
