Question 1

What Azure service allows you to run virtualized Windows or Linux servers in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). They provide IaaS compute resources, giving you full control over the operating system and installed software.

Question 2

Which Azure compute service is best suited for running event-driven, serverless code without managing infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Azure Functions. It executes code in response to triggers (e.g., HTTP requests, timers, queue messages) and you are billed only for execution time.

Question 3

What is the primary use case for Azure App Service?

Accepted Answer

Hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile back ends without managing the underlying infrastructure. It is a PaaS offering supporting multiple languages and frameworks.

Question 4

Which Azure service provides a fully managed Kubernetes container orchestration environment?

Accepted Answer

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It simplifies deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes, handling the control plane automatically.

Question 5

What differentiates Azure Container Instances (ACI) from Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

Accepted Answer

ACI runs individual containers on demand without orchestration or cluster management, making it ideal for simple or burst workloads. AKS provides full Kubernetes orchestration for complex, multi-container applications.
