Q1 Answer: Azure storage can be used for many different categories of storage, such as storage for

VMs, unstructured and structured data. What are examples of technologies or methodologies for each
of the categories?

• Storage for Virtual Machines. This includes disks and files. Disks are persistent block storage for
Azure IaaS virtual machines. Files are fully managed file shares in the cloud.

• Unstructured Data. This includes Blobs and Data Lake Store. Blobs are highly scalable, REST
based cloud object store. Data Lake Store is Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) as a service.

• Structured Data. This includes Tables, Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL DB. Tables are a key/value,
auto-scaling NoSQL store. Cosmos DB is a globally distributed database service. Azure SQL DB is
a fully managed database-as-a-service built on SQL.

Q2 Answer: You are the administrator for your organizations file servers, which includes a large
amount of data considered outdated, but needs to be kept for compliance and regulation purposes.
To minimize costs, while still accounting for end-user performance, what type of storage accounts
should you use for the active data, and what type should you use for archived data?

For actively used data, you should use a General Purpose v2 account, with a standard storage
performance tier. For archived data, use a Blob storage account, with Archive tier.

A general-purpose storage account gives you access to Azure Storage services such as tables, queues,
files, blobs and Azure virtual machine disks under a single account. This type of storage account has two
performance tiers:

• A standard storage performance tier which allows you to store tables, queues, files, blobs, and
Azure virtual machine disks.

• A premium storage performance tier which currently only supports Azure virtual machine disks.

A Blob storage account is a specialized storage account for storing your unstructured data as blobs
(objects) in Azure Storage. Blob storage has different tiers based on frequency of use:

• A Hot access tier which indicates that the objects in the storage account will be more frequently
accessed.

• A Cool access tier which indicates that the objects in the storage account will be less frequently
accessed.

• An Archive access tier which only applies to blob level storage in the general purpose v2
accounts.

To take advantage of the new archive access tier and for the lowest price per gigabyte, it's
recommended that you create new storage accounts as general-purpose v2 accounts.
Q.4 you have to design a solution for an application to support videos that can be streamed directly to
the browser, as well as be shared across applications. What storage service would you use?

Answer: Azure Blob Storage. Blob Storage is ideal for storing massive amounts of unstructured data like
binary data, such as video files; which can be streamed directly to browsers, can be accessed from
anywhere in the world, and also can be shared across applications.

Q.5 You have to 'lift and shift' an on-premises application to cloud. The application uses on-premises
file servers. What storage service would you use on cloud to replace the on-premises servers?

Answer: Azure File Storage. Azure File Storage can be used to replace on-premises file servers, and can
be accessed via the standard SMB and NFS protocols, accessed from anywhere in the world , and can be
shared across applications in the cloud..

Q6: You have to design a solution to decouple application components and use asynchronous data
exchange and processing between them. What storage service would you use?

Answer: Azure Queue Storage. Azure Queue Storage allows for asynchronous message queuing between
application components.

Q 7: What compute options does Azure provide?

Azure provides four different computing options or techniques.

Answer: Azure Region: Azure Region is a geographical region where clusters of Azure data centers are
located, and are connected through a dedicated low-latency network.

Availability Zones: Azure Regions contain multiple isolated locations called Availability Zones, each of
which contains an isolated data center having independent power, cooling, and network.

Q 10 what is difference between resource and resource group?

Answer: A resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources like web apps, databases,
and storage accounts are deployed and managed.
Resources: Resources are instances of services that you create, like virtual machines, storage, or SQL
databases.

Q.10 what are Azure Subscription?

Answer: Azure subscriptions are logical grouping of services used by an organization, for which
Microsoft charges the organization based on either a per-user based license fee or on cloud-based
resource consumption. An organization can have multiple subscriptions.

Q.11 what is difference between resource and service in azure?

Answer: Azure resource is an instance of the Cloud service (Or its components.) When you pay for a
service and use it for something it becomes a 'resource' for you. A manageable item that is available
through Azure.

Q.12 what is app registration

Answer: Application registrations in the Azure portal. Creating a new application using Visual Studio
and configuring it to use Azure AD authentication. When an admin adds an application from the app
gallery (which will also create a service principal) Using the Microsoft Graph API or PowerShell to create
a new application

Q.13 what is service principle in azure AD?

Answer: An Azure service principal is an identity created for use with applications, hosted services, and
automated tools to access Azure resources. This access is restricted by the roles assigned to the service
principal, giving you control over which resources can be accessed and at which level.

Service principals define who can access the application, and what resources the application can access.
A service principal is created in each tenant where the application is used and references the globally
unique application object. The tenant secures the service principal's sign in and access to resources

Q.13 Difference between app Registration & Enterprise application (Service principle)

Answer: The App Registration itself (or application object) — this is the actual application object where
you configure application settings. The Enterprise Application (or Service Principal Object) — this is a
representation (or instantiation) of the application within a directory.

Application Registration create an global application object which will allow the app to delegate to user
identity for resource access, whereas the Enterprise application is the application identity (a service
principle) in each AD tenant
