Microsoft AZ-305 Practice Test 5
Question 40
A service needs CPU alerts per VM but the fleet changes daily with autoscaling. Which Azure architecture choice best meets this requirement?
- Hardcode one alert against a VM scheduled for deletion.
- Run a log query for SQL exceptions and call it a VM CPU signal.
- Use a supported multi-resource metric alert scoped to the required resources or group.
- Store the pager email in an unrelated storage account connection string.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Resource-scoped rules reduce per-instance manual duplication as the fleet changes.
Incorrect Answers
A:A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored. This proposal contradicts the stated architecture constraint.
B:SQL exception text does not measure host CPU utilization. In the present requirement, a service needs CPU alerts per VM but the fleet changes daily with autoscaling. The needed design instead works because resource-scoped rules reduce per-instance manual duplication as the fleet changes.
D:Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling. In the present requirement, a service needs CPU alerts per VM but the fleet changes daily with autoscaling. The needed design instead works because resource-scoped rules reduce per-instance manual duplication as the fleet changes.
Question 41
An architecture proposal for metric alerting and action groups relies on the following approach: Hardcode one alert against a VM scheduled for deletion. Which specific failure or mismatch should the design reviewer identify?
- A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
- SQL exception text does not measure host CPU utilization.
- Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
- Cost records contain spend rather than per-request failure and revision correlation.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Hardcode one alert against a VM scheduled for deletion. A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
Incorrect Answers
B:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Run a log query for SQL exceptions and call it a VM CPU signal.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
C:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Store the pager email in an unrelated storage account connection string.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
D:This concern applies to Search only the billing usage summary for the application. in another design solutions for logging and monitoring design. The current proposal specifically fails because a single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
Question 42
Acceptance testing must establish the following operational result: Coverage checks ensure monitored instances follow the intended scope. Which verification action most directly establishes that outcome?

- Compare request failure timestamps with the recorded deployment marker.
- Raise controlled CPU utilization and verify alert evaluation and notification.
- Add and remove a test instance and verify alert coverage.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Coverage checks ensure monitored instances follow the intended scope.
Incorrect Answers
A:That verification addresses the different requirement: An outage must notify different teams based on severity without changing every alert rule. It does not directly establish coverage checks ensure monitored instances follow the intended scope.
B:This is a test for Support needs a query that correlates request failures with a deployment revision in App Insights. The requirement here is instead demonstrated by add and remove a test instance and verify alert coverage.
C:That verification addresses the different requirement: A production VM must page on sustained high CPU without querying individual application events. It does not directly establish coverage checks ensure monitored instances follow the intended scope.
Question 43
An outage must notify different teams based on severity without changing every alert rule. Which Azure architecture choice best meets this requirement?
- Store the pager email in an unrelated storage account connection string.
- Use shared Azure Monitor action groups with appropriate routing integrations.
- Run a log query for SQL exceptions and call it a VM CPU signal.
- Hardcode one alert against a VM scheduled for deletion.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Action groups centralize notification destinations and response integrations.
Incorrect Answers
A:Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling. This proposal contradicts the stated architecture constraint.
C:SQL exception text does not measure host CPU utilization. In the present requirement, an outage must notify different teams based on severity without changing every alert rule. The needed design instead works because action groups centralize notification destinations and response integrations.
D:A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored. In the present requirement, an outage must notify different teams based on severity without changing every alert rule. The needed design instead works because action groups centralize notification destinations and response integrations.
Question 44
An architecture proposal for metric alerting and action groups relies on the following approach: Store the pager email in an unrelated storage account connection string. Which specific failure or mismatch should the design reviewer identify?
- Metrics are aggregates and do not replace the resource audit log category.
- A single disappearing resource will leave new instances unmonitored.
- Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
- SQL exception text does not measure host CPU utilization.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Store the pager email in an unrelated storage account connection string. Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
Incorrect Answers
A:This concern applies to Assume default Metrics collection includes Key Vault audit events. in another design solutions for logging and monitoring design. The current proposal specifically fails because storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
B:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Hardcode one alert against a VM scheduled for deletion.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
D:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Run a log query for SQL exceptions and call it a VM CPU signal.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, Storage connection strings do not provide alert delivery or severity handling.
Question 45
Acceptance testing must establish the following operational result: Delivery proof isolates notification configuration from metric detection. Which verification action most directly establishes that outcome?
- Raise controlled CPU utilization and verify alert evaluation and notification.
- Add and remove a test instance and verify alert coverage.
- Produce a controlled vault operation and check its diagnostic log entry.
- Invoke the action group test and verify each intended recipient.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Delivery proof isolates notification configuration from metric detection.
Incorrect Answers
A:That verification addresses the different requirement: A production VM must page on sustained high CPU without querying individual application events. It does not directly establish delivery proof isolates notification configuration from metric detection.
B:That verification addresses the different requirement: A service needs CPU alerts per VM but the fleet changes daily with autoscaling. It does not directly establish delivery proof isolates notification configuration from metric detection.
C:This is a test for A Key Vault's audit events are absent from central security searches though metrics are visible. The requirement here is instead demonstrated by invoke the action group test and verify each intended recipient.
Question 46
A payment API needs root-cause timing across HTTP requests and remote payment providers. Which TWO telemetry capabilities should be implemented? (Select TWO.)
- Collect only VM disk capacity percentage.
- Remove exception logging to reduce storage.
- Instrument outgoing dependency calls with propagated trace context.
- Generate a new uncorrelated transaction identifier at each service hop.
- Capture application request duration, errors and operation identifiers.
Explanation
Correct Answers
C:Dependency spans show downstream latency within the transaction.
E:Request telemetry establishes the application-side span.
Incorrect Answers
A:Disk-space metrics cannot establish an individual API dependency span.
B:This discards the data needed to diagnose failing requests.
D:Uncorrelated spans prevent distributed trace reconstruction.
Question 47
An architecture proposal for application insights design relies on the following approach: Look only at VM disk capacity statistics for API request traces. Which specific failure or mismatch should the design reviewer identify?
- Disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency.
- Lifecycle policy changes blob storage tiers; it does not stream events.
- Independent identifiers prevent a reliable end-to-end trace chain.
- Network flows cannot identify application exception stack traces or handler outcomes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Look only at VM disk capacity statistics for API request traces. Disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency.
Incorrect Answers
B:This concern applies to Set a storage lifecycle tier and expect it to push live events to the partner. in another design solutions for logging and monitoring design. The current proposal specifically fails because disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency.
C:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Assign unrelated random identifiers at each hop without propagation.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, Disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency.
D:That assessment refers to the separate proposal 'Export only virtual network flow logs and infer HTTP handler exceptions.' not to the recommendation under review. Here, Disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency.
Question 48
Acceptance testing must establish the following operational result: Correlation IDs connect incoming requests to downstream timing evidence. Which verification action most directly establishes that outcome?
- Read produced test events from the designated Event Hubs consumer group.
- Follow one synthetic transaction through every instrumented service.
- Inspect an end-to-end trace that contains the payment dependency span.
- Deploy a controlled failing release and inspect request/exception trends.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Correlation IDs connect incoming requests to downstream timing evidence.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is a test for A security monitoring partner consumes events from Azure resources in near-real time outside Azure. The requirement here is instead demonstrated by inspect an end-to-end trace that contains the payment dependency span.
B:That verification addresses the different requirement: A microservice platform needs consistent correlation across asynchronous handlers. It does not directly establish correlation IDs connect incoming requests to downstream timing evidence.
D:That verification addresses the different requirement: An API team needs per-operation failure rates after each release with minimal manual logging. It does not directly establish correlation IDs connect incoming requests to downstream timing evidence.
Question 49
An API team needs per-operation failure rates after each release with minimal manual logging. Which Azure architecture choice best meets this requirement?
- Export only virtual network flow logs and infer HTTP handler exceptions.
- Assign unrelated random identifiers at each hop without propagation.
- Look only at VM disk capacity statistics for API request traces.

Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Integrated telemetry exposes request status patterns by operation and time.
Incorrect Answers
A:Network flows cannot identify application exception stack traces or handler outcomes. This proposal contradicts the stated architecture constraint.
B:Independent identifiers prevent a reliable end-to-end trace chain. In the present requirement, an API team needs per-operation failure rates after each release with minimal manual logging. The needed design instead works because integrated telemetry exposes request status patterns by operation and time.
C:Disk space metrics cannot attribute latency to a specific outbound dependency. In the present requirement, an API team needs per-operation failure rates after each release with minimal manual logging. The needed design instead works because integrated telemetry exposes request status patterns by operation and time.
