Review Azure architecture decisions with 150 original practice questions from Cloudpuz Academy. This course covers the AZ-305 objective areas published for April 17, 2026 and provides two independent sets of 75 questions. Every answer option includes an explanation so you can examine the requirement, identify a suitable design, and understand the tradeoffs behind the alternatives.

The questions cover identity, governance, and monitoring; data storage; business continuity; and infrastructure. Review scoped authorization, managed identities, privileged access, policy, logging, and secret management. Compare relational, document, object, file, and analytical data services, with attention to access patterns, scalability, protection, and operational responsibilities.

Business continuity scenarios explore recovery point and recovery time objectives, availability zones, regional recovery, backups, replication, testing, dependencies, and failback. Infrastructure questions compare compute services, asynchronous messaging, APIs, caching, application configuration, deployment, migration, private connectivity, and traffic routing. Current caching examples use Azure Managed Redis rather than presenting retiring Azure Cache for Redis as the preferred new design.

Each set distributes questions within the published domain ranges: identity, governance, and monitoring 25-30%; data storage 20-25%; business continuity 15-20%; and infrastructure 30-35%. These are single-answer concept-review exercises, not a reproduction of the official exam's formats, difficulty, duration, or scoring. The 100-minute allowance and 80% target are course learning settings, not Microsoft's scaled passing score. This course contains practice tests rather than video lectures or hands-on labs, and no practice result guarantees certification success.

This course focuses on AZ-305. Earning the Azure Solutions Architect Expert credential also requires the Azure Administrator Associate certification under the current Microsoft requirements. Completing these practice tests does not satisfy either official certification requirement. Familiarity with Azure administration, networking, identity, storage, and application architecture is recommended.

Use Test 1 to identify gaps, review all explanations, and consult current Microsoft Learn documentation and architecture guidance. Use Test 2 as an independent check, and validate important concepts through practical design exercises. Service capabilities and availability change, so verify production decisions against current documentation. All questions are independently authored, with no actual, recalled, leaked, or copied certification questions. Cloudpuz Academy is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
