Are these AZ-104 exam dumps?

No. Every question is original — built on the official exam blueprint and backed by free, public, official Microsoft documentation, with every answer linked to the exact official page behind it. We never use braindumps, leaked questions, or paywalled material. If you are looking for the live exam's actual questions, we do not have them, and we would not sell them.

How long do I have access?

12 months from purchase, including all content updates during that time — certification content changes, so we keep it current rather than promising a hollow 'lifetime'. PDFs you download during that period stay yours to keep.

Can I try before buying?

Yes — 16 questions from this bank are free with a free account, in the same player you would use after purchase. Full sample questions with their explanations are also printed on this page.

What kinds of questions are included?

The bank has 688 questions across all four formats: single answer, multi-select, drag-and-drop, hotspot. It also includes Combined Skills questions, each of which turns on facts from two or more official domains at once. Case studies are included too: one shared scenario with several questions about it, and the scenario stays on screen while you answer.

What happens when Microsoft updates the AZ-104 exam?

We re-check the bank against the new Skills Measured outline and update the questions that need it, then republish. Updates during your 12 months are included at no extra cost. We date our claim against Microsoft's published outline rather than simply saying the pack was "recently updated", so you can check the correspondence yourself.

Yes, before you access what you bought. Because these are digital products delivered immediately, opening a paid question bank or downloading a purchased PDF ends the statutory 14-day withdrawal right — until you do, it is intact. We also refund genuine cases such as a technical failure we cannot fix. The full detail, including exactly what counts as access, is in our Refund Policy.

What most AZ-104 practice sets skip

The parts that are hard to write, not just hard to answer

Certification at this level isn't single-fact recall. The objectives describe decisions that cross domains, and scenario work that takes a whole estate into account. We wrote questions for both — grounded in official documentation, like everything else here.

Combined Skills questions

Each one turns on facts from two or more official domains at once — the cross-area reasoning single-fact drills never build. A mode of their own, for once your domain sets are solid.

case studies

Read one shared scenario, then answer a set of questions about it. The scenario stays on screen, re-readable, the whole way through — so what's being tested is your judgment, not your memory of a paragraph.

Sample question 1

Contoso runs three Azure subscriptions and wants the same users and groups to administer resources in all three. What should they do?

a.Create a separate Microsoft Entra tenant for each subscription
b.Associate all three subscriptions with the same Microsoft Entra tenant✓ correct
c.Combine the three subscriptions into one resource group
d.Replace the subscriptions with custom domain names

Why B: (B) A single Microsoft Entra tenant can be associated with multiple Azure subscriptions, so the same users, groups, and applications manage resources across all of them. (A) separate tenants would split the identities apart. (C) a resource group cannot contain subscriptions. (D) subscriptions and custom domain names are unrelated concepts.

Sample question 2

A team needs a highly available network file share that several VMs can mount over SMB or NFS with read/write access. Which service fits?

a.Azure Blob Storage
b.Azure Queue Storage
c.Azure Files✓ correct
d.Azure Table Storage

Why C: (C) Azure Files provides highly available network file shares reachable over SMB and NFS, which multiple virtual machines can share with read/write access. (A) Blob is object storage, not a mounted share. (B) Queue holds messages. (D) Table is a NoSQL key/attribute store.

Every explanation names why the right answer is right and what each wrong option actually refers to — that's the standard across all 688 questions. Try 16 of them free →

Chapter 1 · free excerpt

How Azure Is Organized, and How You Drive It

An Azure account can hold thousands of things — virtual machines, storage, databases, networks. Nobody manages them one at a time. Azure gives you a four-level structure to group them, set a rule once, and let that rule reach everything underneath. This chapter teaches that structure: where a resource sits, who pays for it, and how one setting can govern a whole estate. Then it covers where your resources physically run, and the four tools you use to command them all. Every later chapter places its service inside this frame, so we start here and keep pointing back.

In Azure, anything you create is a resource. A virtual machine is a resource; so is a storage account, a database, or a virtual network. That is the smallest building block, the thing you actually run. The trouble is scale: a real environment has hundreds or thousands of them, and setting permissions or budgets on each one by hand would be impossible. So Azure wraps resources in three larger containers, each holding the one below it. Learn those four levels and most of Azure administration has a place to live.

A resource group is a folder for resources. Every resource lives in exactly one group at a time. You can move a resource to a different group later, but it is never in two at once. Three rules matter here. A resource group cannot be nested inside another group. It cannot be renamed once created. And any action on the group lands on everything inside it — delete the group and you delete every resource in it. So decide your naming scheme up front.

Mental model

Picture a set of nested boxes, largest to smallest: a crate (management group) holds boxes (subscriptions), each box holds folders (resource groups), each folder holds items (resources). Write a label on the crate and it applies to everything inside — every box, folder, and item. That is inheritance: a rule set high up is a rule set on all of it, at once.

Figure 1.1 — The management hierarchy. Management group → subscription → resource group → resource, broadest to narrowest. The single idea to carry out of this chapter is the arrow on the right: whatever you set high up flows down to everything beneath it.

Worked example

Walk a small company's estate. Northwind keeps two subscriptions — Production and Development — so the two environments bill separately and carry different spending limits. Inside Production, resources are sorted into resource groups by application: one group for the web-shop app (its VMs, database, and storage together), another for the analytics app. Both subscriptions sit under one management group, where an administrator sets a single policy limiting deployments to approved regions. Nobody had to touch each subscription: the policy flowed down. When Northwind retires the analytics app, deleting its resource group removes the app's VMs, database, and storage in one stroke — the delete-applies-to-everything rule doing exactly what it says.

Excerpt ends here — the full chapter continues with the five workloads in depth, exam traps, and verified practice questions.

Who this is for

Anyone sitting AZ-104 for the first time and wanting the blueprint covered, not sampled
Retakers who need to find the gap that cost them, rather than re-reading everything
Practitioners stepping up from fundamentals to a role-based certification
Anyone who wants to check an answer against the official documentation instead of trusting it

Who it isn't for

Anyone looking for the live exam's actual questions. We don't have them, and nobody should be selling them to you — using them puts your certification at risk and teaches you nothing.
Anyone who wants to pass without understanding the material. Every answer here comes with the reasoning and the source, which is slower than memorising and the entire point.
