⩥ What is an Azure Subscription?
Answer: Billing and security boundary:
• This is a billing container for your resources.
• You can also apply permissions via RBAC.
• Organizations normally use multiple subscriptions - dev/test/prod.
• Every subscription trusts a Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
⩥ What are Azure Resources?
Answer: Is an item deployed onto Azure. The resource is based on a
service available on Azure.
Each resource has a resource ID, a location and properties and is a part
of a resource group.
⩥ What is an Azure Resource Group
Answer: This is a logical container that holds resources that you want to
manage together.
,You can apply governance aspects like RBAC, tags and locks onto
resource groups.
⩥ What are Azure regions?
Answer: A specific Azure geography with one or more datacenters.
Regions also comprise of Availability zones. You can increase the
overall redundancy of your infrastructure by spreading the virtual
machines across Availability zones
⩥ What are NSGs?
Answer: Network Security Groups that are Rules that allow/deny traffic
⩥ Azure Disk Encryption
Answer: Encrypts the disks inside the VM using a a data-encryption key
(DEK) stored in an Azure Key Vault. Can target the OS Disk/data Disks
and uses BitLocker on Windows and DM-Crypt on Linux.
⩥ Availability Sets
Answer: Keeps two or more VMs apart on different fault domains
(different racks/power/network) and update domains (host patching).
If one rack fails or one update domain reboots, at least one VM stays up
There is no extra cost for the Availability set, you only pay for the virtual
machines.
,⩥ Max number of Availability Sets
Answer: You can have a maximum of 3 fault domains and 20 update
domains
⩥ Fault Doma in (FD)
Answer: group sha ring power & network
Separate VMs to a void a single rack failure
⩥ Update Domain (UD)
Answer: group that reboots together during planned host updates; only
one updated at a time
⩥ Availability Zones
Answer: Physically separate data centers inside a region. Protects from
data center-level failures
Zones need to be assigned at machine creation.
There is no extra cost for the Availability zone, but there is a data
transfer charge across zones
⩥ Virtual Machine Scale Set
Answer: Lets you manage a fleet of VMs as a single unit.
• You set the model (image/size/network), and the set can autoscale
based on load (CPU, requests, queue length)
, ⩥ Virtual Machine Scale Set Orchestration Modes
Answer: Uniform and flexible
⩥ Virtual Machine Scale Set - Uniform
Answer: Identical instances
Scale set API manages instances. Supports LB health probe or App
Health extension for health.
Great for stateless workloads, simple autoscale, lower variance
⩥ Virtual Machine Scale Set - Flexible
Answer: Manage instances more like regular VMs; mixed
sizes/spot/regular possible.
Better for mixed roles, custom availability needs
⩥ Azure Web Apps
Answer: Part of App Service—is Microsoft's Platform as a Service
(PaaS) for hosting web sites and APIs without managing servers. • You
pick a runtime—.NET, Node.js, Python, Java, PHP—or bring your own
container, and Azure handles the OS patching, platform updates
⩥ Azure App Service Plans
Answer: Free/Shared (F1/D1)
