Pass The AZ-900 Exam With Confidence
Journey to Azure Certification
John had a passion for cloud technology, up to the time of researching for this study. Having worked for quite some time as a system administrator for a mid-sized company, he thought it was time to tweak it up and venture into cloud computing. Still, eager to depend his knowledge and achieve professional growth, John embarked on AZ-900, which would prove his familiarity with the Microsoft Azure basics.
-
John could begin by taking an exam that requires him to study topics contained in the AZ-900 exam through an online course. In exactly the same manner, he spent hours consuming video lectures, documentation, and practicing in Azure portal. On one of the days, he realized there is a forum online where different people are posting their experience and recommendations regarding this exam. This community was his source of inspiration and encouragement he needed to continue staying strong.
-
And when the time came for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam, John had both the thrill and butterflies feeling system. He was wondering about his level of preparedness and thus came up with the idea of administering some practice tests. Every practice test proved to be helpful and showed him a few of his strong points and a few of the topics which he should reconsider.
-
Finally on the particular day of the Microsoft AZ-900 exam John was comfortably seated in front of his personal computer free from any form of psychological hindrance. Each of them read over the question and attempted to apply what was learned. Finally, by the end of the exam, he felt like he could answer them all fluently. Several days later, John received an email with the title, ‘’Success, you have successfully passed the AZ-900 exam!’’
John’s search for the AZ-900 certification was quite an enlightening experience and definitely one full of dedication and effort. With this certification in hand, one could start to consider what other Azure certifications he or she wanted to go after and other challenges in one’s career.
Questions and Answers:
-
Question: This being the case, the following are some of the benefits of using cloud services like Microsoft Azure:
Answer:
-
Cost Efficiency: This is because cloud services employ a pricing model where usage is billed to the client or subscriber rather than charging them to buy initial equipment and devices.
-
Scalability: It means that Azure provides firms with flexibility in resource allocation so that they can maximize the use of resources while minimizing on the ones that are not necessary, a feature that plays a critical role in ensuring that firms perform optimally without overusing the resources available to them.
-
Disaster Recovery: Based on the needs that were analyzed earlier, different solutions are offered by Azure to provide backup and disaster recovery.
-
Global Reach: Azure has data centers across the world making it easier for organizations to deploy applications where their clients are, to enhance performance of their applications.
-
Question: Out of Service Models in context to Cloud Computing; What is the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS?
Answer:
-
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Offers computing resources situated through internet/network. Utilizing this approach, clients can only hire infrastructure resources such as virtual machines, storage and networks, meaning that they get to manage the operating systems as well as the applications.
-
PaaS (Platform as a Service): It provides plants and software instruments through the web, such as frameworks and substrata, enabling its users to concentrate on program creation without worrying about lower tiers.
-
SaaS (Software as a Service): offers licensed software and computer programs through the use of the Internet on a subscription model. This eliminates the complexity of managing the infrastructure, middleware, and application updates since it is the provider who prepares the software for use via the browsers.
-
Question: Knowing about Azure Regions and Availability Zones is important in order to be able to properly configure Azure services.
Answer:
-
Azure Regions: Data center sites that are in different regions or geographical locations. The region is a geographic area view in which all the Azure resources Could be provisioned and controlled. These geographical regions may include East America, West Europe, and South East Asia.
-
Availability Zones: Different areas within an Azure region but occupy different centers or different physical entities. Each zone consists of one or more facilities and each of the facilities is supported by its own power and cooling infrastructure and the network connectivity. Availability Zones give architectures and high availability and IT failure recovery for applications by permitting resources to be duplicated across zones.
-
Question: This paper aims at describing what is Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and its relevance in the management of IT systems.
Answer:
-
Azure Resource Manager (ARM): This is a management layer in the Azure environment that helps in the deployment, management and keep resources organized through a single pane. ARM enables users to create, modify and delete a resource at one time as a group; hence enhancing efficiency in management of resources and deployment.
Importance:
-
Consistency: Dutifully oversees the use of eventual resources as per templates to allow for standardization.
-
Access Control: For coming with resource protection mechanism and permission management, it offers role based access control (RBAC).
-
Tagging: Is useful for resource referencing to make it easier to organize as well as more accurate billing.
-
Resource Groups: This is helpful in shaping related resources into coherent categories in the management and monitoring processes.
-
Question: Although it is beyond the scope of this paper to draw a detailed description of all of Azure’s identity and access management services, mention some of the most significant components below.
Answer:
-
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD): A cloud-based Identity and Access Management which offers the user Login to applications and resources as well as passcode authentication and further protection measures in form of conditional access to curb cyber attacks.
-
Roles and Role Assignments: This is a capability of Azure AD where certain user permissions can be granted or denied at a certain level of specificity.
-
Identity Protection: Prevention of unauthorized access to user accounts and interventions such as managing sign-ins and other security threats.
-
Conditional Access: Measures to implement access control that will depend on some state of the user in terms of location, state of the device, or the application that the user is using.
In this way, by reading these questions and answers, John was able to enhance his knowledge about Azure fundamentals and achieveazure certification success.
