How many copies of data are maintained by an Azure Storage account that uses geo-redundant storage (GRS)?
Correct Answer:
C
Explanation
Azure Functions is the correct answer as a serverless computing service where you pay only for execution time without managing infrastructure. App Service requires you to manage the underlying compute resources, so it is not serverless. Virtual Machines require full infrastructure management. Azure Kubernetes Service involves managing container orchestration, which is also not serverless. Serverless means the cloud provider handles all infrastructure provisioning and scaling automatically.
A company is planning on deploying a stateless based application based on microservices using the Azure Service Fabric service. You need to design the infrastructure that would be required in the Azure Service Fabric service.

FAQ
AZ-900 Exam FAQ
Common questions about the exam itself
What level of technical background do I need for AZ-900?
AZ-900 is designed for broad audiences including non-technical professionals. You should have general familiarity with IT concepts like networking and storage basics, but hands-on Azure experience is not required. The exam tests conceptual knowledge rather than hands-on skills.
How much time should I spend preparing for AZ-900?
Most candidates spend 2 to 4 weeks preparing if studying part-time, though this varies by background. The exam is relatively short at 45 minutes, so focused study on the three domains is more effective than lengthy preparation. Using Microsoft Learn's free materials can reduce study time significantly.
Which exam domain is hardest and how do I study it?
Describe Azure architecture and services is the largest domain at 35-40% of the exam weight. Spend the most time on this domain understanding how Azure regions, availability zones, compute services, networking, storage, and identity work together. Hands-on practice in the free Azure portal helps these concepts stick.
Is AZ-900 harder than other Microsoft certifications?
AZ-900 is intentionally the easiest Microsoft certification, designed as an entry point. It tests foundational concepts rather than hands-on administration or architecture skills. If you pass AZ-900, you are ready for intermediate exams like AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) or AZ-900 (Azure Developer), which dive deeper into implementation.
How long does the AZ-900 certification stay valid?
AZ-900 never expires. Unlike role-based certifications like AZ-104 that require annual renewal, Azure Fundamentals is a permanent credential once earned. This is one of the key advantages of starting with AZ-900 in your Azure learning path.
Can I retake the exam if I fail?
Yes, you can retake AZ-900 as early as 24 hours after a failed attempt. There is no waiting period for your first retake. From the second retake onwards, there is a 14-day waiting period between attempts. Each retake requires a separate exam fee.
What happens on exam day for an online AZ-900 exam?
You connect through your web browser to a Pearson VUE proctor who verifies your identity and test environment. The proctor watches you via webcam throughout the exam. The 45-minute testing period begins only after you click 'Start Exam' and cannot be paused. You see your pass or fail result immediately upon completion.
Does AZ-900 prepare me for a specific job role?
AZ-900 does not target a specific job role but instead validates cloud literacy across roles. It is most useful for cloud sales professionals, business analysts, and IT generalists. If you want to move toward a specific role like administrator or developer, you should pursue the corresponding intermediate or advanced certification after AZ-900.
What format are the exam questions in?
AZ-900 uses multiple-choice questions with four options, multiple-response questions where you select all correct answers, drag-and-drop matching, and scenario-based questions. The majority of questions are standard multiple-choice. Understanding each format beforehand prevents confusion during the actual exam.
How does the passing score work on AZ-900?
You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass. Microsoft uses scaled scoring, meaning a score of 700 does not equal 70% of questions correct. The exact percentage varies by exam session, so focus on understanding concepts thoroughly rather than aiming for a specific percentage correct.
