Azure Services and Cloud Models Questions

Fundamental understanding of cloud delivery models and the Microsoft Azure platform and services. Cover core cloud service models such as Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service, trade offs in cost and operational burden, and mapping workloads to appropriate models. For Microsoft Azure, discuss compute and orchestration options such as virtual machines and Azure Kubernetes Service, platform services such as App Service, storage options such as Blob storage and file shares, database offerings such as Azure SQL Database and Cosmos DB, identity and access controls such as Azure Active Directory and managed identities, and managed platform capabilities for machine learning and artificial intelligence. Candidates should be able to explain service level trade offs, integration and networking basics for Azure, and how vendor direction influences architectural choices.
