Try 3 Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 practice questions
Choose an answer, explore the explanation, and see why the other options are less suitable. Three short scenarios. No sign-in required.
1. Keeping a system on-site while using Azure
A healthcare organization must keep its patient records system in its own datacenter under an internal policy, but it wants to host a separate scheduling application in Azure. The two environments will exchange approved information securely. Which cloud deployment model describes this arrangement?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: B — Hybrid cloud, combining on-premises and public cloud resources.
Why B is correct
A hybrid cloud approach combines an organization's on-premises environment with public cloud services. The patient records system remains in the company's datacenter, while the scheduling application runs in Azure. Secure connectivity lets those environments work together without moving every workload into the public cloud. This mixture is the decisive feature of the scenario, rather than the type of application involved. The organization must still enforce its data-handling policy across the connection.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — Public cloud: A fully public-cloud deployment would place both described workloads with a public cloud provider. The patient records system explicitly remains on-premises, so this option misses a required part of the arrangement.
- C — Private cloud: A private cloud uses cloud infrastructure dedicated to one organization. It does not describe the scheduling application running in Azure's public cloud alongside the on-site system.
- D — Multicloud: Multicloud means using services from multiple cloud providers. The scenario identifies one public cloud provider and an on-premises system, not two public cloud providers.
Key takeaway: Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services; multicloud uses more than one cloud provider.

2. Secure office-to-Azure connectivity
A small company needs an encrypted site-to-site connection between its office network and an Azure virtual network. It wants to use its existing public internet service rather than purchase a private connectivity circuit. Which Azure networking service most directly meets this requirement?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: C — Azure VPN Gateway for a site-to-site VPN.
Why C is correct
Azure VPN Gateway supports encrypted connections between an Azure virtual network and on-premises locations over the public internet. A site-to-site VPN uses a tunnel between the Azure VPN gateway and a compatible on-premises VPN device. The company already has internet connectivity and specifically does not want a private circuit. These requirements match a site-to-site VPN Gateway connection. The organization would still need to configure the gateway, local VPN device, addressing and routing correctly.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — Azure ExpressRoute: ExpressRoute connects on-premises networks to Microsoft services over private connectivity through a provider. It is appropriate for different connectivity requirements, but the company specifically wants to use its existing public internet link.
- B — Virtual Network peering: Peering connects virtual networks, often within or between Azure regions. It does not by itself create the requested encrypted tunnel from the company's office network.
- D — Azure Private Endpoint: A private endpoint provides private network access to a supported service through an IP address in a virtual network. It is not the gateway that establishes an office-to-Azure site-to-site VPN tunnel.
Key takeaway: VPN Gateway provides encrypted site-to-site connectivity over the internet; ExpressRoute provides private connectivity.
3. Getting notified about Azure incidents
An Azure administrator wants notifications about service outages and planned maintenance that might affect the organization's subscriptions. They need a personalized view of Azure service incidents rather than performance charts for a particular application. Which tool should the administrator use?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: A — Azure Service Health for relevant service incidents and maintenance.
Why A is correct
Azure Service Health provides a personalized view of issues affecting Azure services and regions that an organization uses. It includes information about service incidents, planned maintenance and health advisories. Administrators can configure Service Health alerts to receive notifications about relevant events. This service-level perspective matches the requirement to track potential Azure platform disruptions across subscriptions. Performance monitoring and the health of individual resources serve related but different purposes.
Why the other options are less suitable
- B — Azure Monitor: Azure Monitor collects and analyzes metrics, logs and telemetry from workloads. It can send alerts, but the question specifically asks for personalized Azure platform incidents and planned maintenance information.
- C — Azure Advisor: Azure Advisor analyzes deployed resources and recommends optimizations. Its recommendations do not replace notifications about current Azure service incidents and planned maintenance events.
- D — Azure Resource Health: Resource Health shows availability and health history for specific resources such as individual virtual machines. The administrator needs the broader service-incident and maintenance view, not a resource-by-resource diagnosis.
Key takeaway: Use Service Health for platform incidents and maintenance; Resource Health for individual resources.

Your questions, answered.
Which AZ-900 exam outline does this practice target?
This practice targets AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, using Microsoft’s English skills outline effective July 20, 2026. Before purchasing, compare the product’s listed topics, included resources and access terms with your intended exam. Microsoft updates some localized examinations after the English version, so check the official objectives for your planned language and examination date.
Is Azure Fundamentals suitable for beginners?
Yes. AZ-900 is a beginner-level Microsoft certification covering cloud computing and foundational Azure services. Microsoft recommends familiarity with an IT area such as infrastructure management, database management or software development. You do not need advanced cloud administration skills to begin studying. Understanding basic networking, storage, access control and cloud terminology will help you interpret scenarios and compare Azure services more confidently.
How should I combine practice questions with practical study?
Combine practice questions with Microsoft Learn and small exercises in an Azure environment you are authorized to use. Compare public, private and hybrid cloud models, review VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute, and examine Azure’s monitoring tools. Focus on explaining why a service fits a particular requirement. These study activities do not mean that subscriptions, hosted labs or cloud credits are included with the practice pack.
What should I do after answering a question incorrectly?
Identify the technical distinction that caused the mistake, rather than memorizing the correct answer letter. For example, review hybrid cloud versus multicloud, VPN Gateway versus ExpressRoute, or Service Health versus Azure Monitor. Read the explanations for each option, revisit the relevant Microsoft Learn topic and try a different scenario. Your practice results help identify gaps but do not predict an official passing score.
Does this practice preview reproduce the official AZ-900 exam format?
No. The three sample questions use four answer options and one correct answer each. Microsoft states that the official examination may include interactive components but does not disclose its exact question-type mix in advance. Microsoft’s exam sandbox demonstrates the testing interface and examples of possible tasks. Check the paid practice product’s listed formats separately rather than assuming that this preview reproduces every official task.
Does completing this practice earn the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification?
No. Completing or purchasing independent practice questions does not award Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals. Earning the credential requires passing Microsoft’s official AZ-900 examination and complying with the applicable candidate requirements. Practice access and official exam registration are separate activities. Review the product’s stated commercial terms for any voucher arrangements instead of assuming that the practice purchase includes an official exam booking.
30-day conditional refund policy
Eligible requests must be made within 30 calendar days, with no more than 20% of any included simulator completed. The purchase must not already be refunded or under a payment dispute or chargeback. Other provisions apply; mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
