A platform engineer at sailor.sh runs a public API on two Azure virtual machines in the West Europe region. After a well publicized outage elsewhere in the industry, leadership asks that the two VMs be placed so that even the loss of an entire datacenter in the region cannot take both offline. Latency rules require the VMs to stay in West Europe. How should the engineer deploy the VMs?

An operations team wants to standardize how it deploys a three tier test environment that gets torn down and rebuilt for every release. A teammate proposes ARM templates. Which TWO statements accurately describe how ARM templates behave? (Select TWO)

True or false: A CanNotDelete lock applied to a resource group blocks delete operations for every user, including users who hold the Owner role, until the lock is removed.

A freelance developer wants a small piece of code to run automatically every time an image lands in a storage container. There should be no servers to maintain, and charges should accrue only while the code actually executes. Which Azure service should the developer choose?

Which TWO statements about cloud deployment models are accurate? (Select TWO)

An insurance company keeps policy documents in an Azure storage account in a region that supports availability zones. Regulators impose two requirements: the documents must stay available even if an entire datacenter in the primary region fails, and a copy must exist in a geographically distant second region in case of a regional disaster.

During intermittent failures in an order tracking workload, an SRE at a logistics company suspects an Azure platform problem rather than an application bug.

Which tool should the SRE use?
