Test your Microsoft Azure knowledge with questions on Azure services, Active Directory, virtual networks, and cloud deployments.
Answer a real Azure interview question before you browse the list. No signup needed.
A developer needs to run a short piece of code every time a new image lands in Azure Blob Storage, to generate a thumbnail. The code runs for a few seconds at unpredictable times, and the company does not want to manage or pay for an idle server between uploads. Which Azure service is the BEST fit?
Practice in a session
10 questions from Azure, one after another, then your score and streak.
Key services include Azure Virtual Machines, App Services, Azure Functions, Azure AD, Virtual Networks, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Azure DevOps, and AKS (Kubernetes). Understanding Azure Resource Manager and ARM templates is also important.
Both test similar cloud concepts but with different service names and approaches. Azure interviews often emphasize integration with Microsoft ecosystem (Active Directory, .NET, Office 365). Many companies use multi-cloud, so understanding both platforms is advantageous.
Azure AD (now Microsoft Entra ID) is a cloud identity and access management service. It handles authentication, SSO, MFA, and conditional access policies. It integrates with Office 365, Azure resources, and thousands of SaaS apps. Understanding Azure AD is critical for any Azure role.
App Service hosts full web applications with always-on infrastructure and supports .NET, Java, Node.js, Python. Azure Functions is serverless and event-driven, ideal for short-running tasks triggered by HTTP requests, queues, or timers. Choose App Service for full apps and Functions for microservices.
Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model NoSQL database with guaranteed single-digit millisecond latency. It supports document, key-value, graph, and column-family data models. Use it when you need global distribution, low latency, and elastic scaling. It is a common choice for real-time applications.
Azure certifications (AZ-900 Fundamentals, AZ-104 Administrator, AZ-305 Solutions Architect) demonstrate structured knowledge and commitment. They are not required but give you an edge, especially for Azure-focused roles. Many employers list specific certifications as preferred qualifications.
