Exam AZ-900

Azure Fundamentals practice questions

Exam-style questions across all three AZ-900 domains, in the weightings Microsoft publishes. Every option is explained, including the three you did not pick.

The Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals exam (AZ-900) tests whether you understand the Azure cloud well enough to talk about it accurately: which service answers which requirement, where Microsoft's responsibility ends and yours begins, how the bill is put together, and which governance and monitoring tools exist. It assumes no technical background, which is why it is taken by salespeople, project managers and students as often as by engineers, and why the difficulty sits entirely in telling similar things apart.

  • Questions written as scenarios, the way AZ-900 actually asks
  • The three domains in Microsoft's own proportions, not an even split
  • Current names throughout, so Entra ID rather than Azure Active Directory

An ExamRoad Azure question, answered correctly, with the explanation shown underneath.

A question from the bank, graded, with the trap that catches most candidates.

What you get

Everything you need for Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, in one place

Practice, explanations, a timed paper and a plan. Free to start, and it remembers where you left off.

Every wrong option explained

Most banks tell you the answer was C. This one tells you why you picked B, which is where the marks actually leak.

Timed exam simulator

Sit a full paper under the clock with explanations hidden until you submit, then read a breakdown by topic.

Flashcards that space themselves

Cards you find hard come back sooner. Cards you know disappear for weeks, so revision time goes where it is needed.

A plan built to your exam date

Tell it when you sit, and the material is split across the days you have left, weighted to what you keep getting wrong.

Weak areas found for you

Mastery is tracked per concept from your answers, so you are sent back to the topics costing you marks, not the ones you enjoy.

Works in twenty minutes

On a phone, in a queue, between lectures. Tap an answer, read why it was wrong, move on. Your progress follows you.

How it works

Four steps, then repeat until it is automatic

  1. 1

    Tell us your exam date

    Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, your level and the day you sit it. The plan fits the days you actually have.

  2. 2

    Answer exam-style questions

    Scenarios in the format the paper uses, drawn in the weightings the awarding body publishes.

  3. 3

    Read why you were wrong

    Not just the key. The reason your option was tempting, and the trap the question was built on.

  4. 4

    Drill your weak areas

    Mastery is tracked per concept, so you are sent back to what is costing you marks.

A real question

This is what you actually get

Not a marketing mock-up. This item is pulled live from the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals bank, with everything a member sees: why the answer is right, why each of the other three is wrong, and the trap the examiner set.

Cloud Concepts · The Shared Responsibility Model

A company runs an application on Azure virtual machines. Who is responsible for applying operating system updates inside those machines?

  • AThe customer, because the guest operating system is theirs on infrastructure services
  • BMicrosoft, because it operates the data centreMicrosoft secures the physical infrastructure and the hypervisor, not the operating system you chose to run.
  • CShared equally between the twoThe model divides responsibilities rather than splitting individual tasks.
  • DNobody, because Azure virtual machines do not need updatesAny operating system receives security updates.

A virtual machine is an infrastructure service, so everything from the operating system upwards belongs to the customer. Microsoft is responsible for the physical hosts beneath it.

Exam trap

The split moves with the service type. The same patching task is yours on a virtual machine and Microsoft's on Azure SQL Database.

AZ-900 is a discrimination test dressed as a vocabulary test. Almost every question describes a requirement without naming a service and offers three neighbouring services in the options: Policy or role-based access control, Service Health or Monitor, the Pricing Calculator or the Total Cost of Ownership Calculator, zone-redundant or geo-redundant storage.

Three pairs decide a surprising number of marks. Scalability against elasticity, where only one includes shrinking. High availability against disaster recovery, where the scale of the failure names which. And what may exist against who may act, which is Policy against access control.

The management and governance domain is a third of the paper and the part candidates skip because it sounds administrative. It is also the most mechanical to learn, which makes it the cheapest place to pick up the marks that get you over the line.

What the exam covers

  • Cloud Concepts25-30%

    The shared responsibility model, public, private, hybrid and multicloud, capital versus operating expenditure, and the benefit words the exam separates carefully.

  • Azure Architecture and Services35-40%

    Regions, zones and region pairs, the management group hierarchy, compute, networking, storage, databases, and Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Azure Management and Governance30-35%

    The cost tools and calculators, Azure Policy, locks and role-based access control, the deployment tools, and Advisor, Service Health and Monitor.

Questions people ask before starting

No. It is the entry-level Azure certification and assumes none. It is commonly taken by people in sales, project management and procurement who need to understand what their colleagues and customers are talking about, as well as by engineers starting out.
