AZ-304 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    You administer a solution in Azure that is currently having performance issues.

    You need to find the cause of the performance issues pertaining to the security of the Azure infrastructure.

    Which of the following is the tool you should use?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Azure Activity Log is the correct tool for investigating security-related performance issues in Azure infrastructure. It provides detailed logs of administrative operations, policy evaluations, and security events that could impact performance. Activity Log specifically tracks control plane operations and resource management activities that affect security posture and can cause performance degradation. Azure Traffic Analytics focuses on network traffic patterns, Azure Monitor provides general telemetry but lacks security-specific details, and Azure Advisor gives recommendations but does not provide investigative logs for active performance issues.

  2. Question 2

    Your company has virtual machines that hosts sales, finance, and reporting applications in the company’s on-premises data center. You have been given business continuity and disaster recovery objectives for the finance application.

    You have been informed that a seven-year data retention period is required by the application.

    Furthermore, the application must be capable of running from Azure if a disaster occurs. Also, the recovery time objective (RTO) is ten minutes.

    You have to make use of Azure services that satisfy the objectives, while also keeping expenses to a minimum.

    Which of the following is the option you should use?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Azure Backup is the correct solution for meeting business continuity and disaster recovery objectives for virtual machines hosting critical applications. It provides automated backup capabilities, point-in-time recovery, and can restore entire VMs or individual files as needed for business continuity. Azure Site Recovery is primarily for disaster recovery replication between sites, auto-failover groups are specific to SQL databases, and the combined solutions are unnecessary when Azure Backup alone meets the BCDR requirements for VM-based applications.
