| Front | Back |
| Advantages of Private Endpoints in Azure Networking | Enables private connection between Azure resources and clients via virtual network |
| Azure Availability Sets | Ensures high availability by distributing VMs across fault and update domains |
| Azure Bastion | Provides secure RDP and SSH connectivity to VMs directly through the Azure portal without exposing them to the internet |
| Azure DevTest Labs | Facilitates quick provisioning of environments for development and testing purposes while managing costs |
| Azure Disk Encryption | Protects sensitive data by encrypting VM disks using industry-standard AES-256 encryption |
| Azure ExpressRoute | Offers private, dedicated connectivity from on-premises to Azure |
| Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) | Orchestrates and manages containerized applications using Kubernetes |
| Azure Load Balancer | Distributes incoming traffic across multiple resources for high availability |
| Azure Managed Disks | Simplifies VM disk management while providing scalability, durability, and availability |
| Azure Monitor | Collects, analyzes, and acts on telemetry data from Azure resources to optimize performance and availability |
| Azure Proximity Placement Groups | Groups VMs to reduce network latency by placing them physically close together in the same data center |
| Azure Resource Manager (ARM) | Facilitates deployment and management of Azure resources via templates |
| Azure Service Tags | Predefined identifiers to simplify management by grouping IP ranges for Azure services |
| Azure Shared Image Gallery | Simplifies versioning and sharing of VM images across Azure regions |
| Azure Traffic Manager | Routes incoming user traffic across multiple regional deployments |
| Azure Virtual Network | Enables secure communication between Azure resources and on-premises environments |
| Azure Virtual WAN | Provides a unified and scalable service for interconnecting branch offices, remote users, and data centers |
| Azure VPN Gateway | Provides secure cross-location connectivity via encrypted tunnels |
| Benefits of Azure Backup for Infrastructure | Provides data protection with automated backup and recovery options for Azure resources and on-premises systems |
| Benefits of Azure Blob Storage for Virtualization | Provides scalable storage for VM disks and other unstructured data |
| Benefits of Azure Reserved Capacity for Virtual Machines | Reduces costs for predictable workloads with significant price discounts over Pay-As-You-Go pricing |
| Best practice for Azure VM sizing | Choose based on workload performance, scalability, and cost requirements |
| Difference between Azure Availability Zones and Availability Sets | Availability Zones provide isolation across data centers, while Availability Sets protect VMs within the same data center from hardware failures |
| Difference between Azure Functions and Virtual Machines | Functions are serverless event-driven compute, whereas VMs offer complete control over OS and resources |
| Difference between Azure Reserved Instances and Pay-As-You-Go VMs | Reserved Instances offer cost savings for long-term workloads, while Pay-As-You-Go provides flexible pricing for short-term needs |
| Difference between Standard and Basic Azure Load Balancer | Standard supports more features and scales better for production workloads |
| How does Azure DDoS Protection work? | Protects against Distributed Denial of Service attacks by monitoring traffic and automatically mitigating threats |
| How does Azure Hybrid Benefit work? | Allows reuse of on-premises licenses to reduce Azure costs |
| Primary purpose of Azure Files | Provides fully managed file shares accessible via SMB or NFS protocols |
| Primary use case for Azure Spot VMs | Leverages unused Azure compute capacity at low costs for non-critical workloads |
| Purpose of Azure Policy | Ensures compliance by enabling creation and enforcement of policies for Azure resource configuration |
| What is Azure Application Gateway? | A web traffic load balancer for secure application delivery |
| What is Azure Auto-Scaling? | Automatically adjusts resources to match workload demands for cost efficiency and performance |
| What is Azure Container Instances? | A service to manage and run individual containers without managing virtual machines |
| What is Azure Disk Storage? | A high-performance block storage service for mission-critical workloads |
| What is Azure Front Door? | A scalable and secure entry point for delivering fast and high availability global applications |
| What is Azure Marketplace? | A catalog of solutions and services that can be deployed on Azure infrastructure |
| What is Azure Network Watcher? | A diagnostic and visualization service for monitoring Azure virtual networks |
| What is Azure Route Server? | Simplifies dynamic routing between network virtual appliances (NVAs) and Azure virtual networks |
| What is the purpose of NSGs in Azure Networking? | Network Security Groups filter inbound and outbound traffic for Azure resources |
