  1. Question 1Deploy and manage Azure compute resources

    A company migrates a microservices application to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The operations team needs to ensure that sensitive configuration values like database passwords are not stored in plaintext within container images or deployment YAML files. What is the recommended approach?

    AStore secrets as environment variables in the container image
    BEmbed credentials in the Kubernetes ConfigMap
    CUse Azure Key Vault with the Secrets Store CSI Driver to inject secrets into pods
    DEncode the passwords in base64 and store in a Kubernetes Secret YAML file checked into Git

Key Containers Concepts for AZ-104

AZ-104 Containers Exam Tips

Azure Container Solutions questions in AZ-104 are typically scenario-based. Focus on day-to-day Azure administration, identity, network, compute, storage, and monitoring. Priority concepts: container instances, aci, aks, kubernetes, docker, container registry.

What AZ-104 Expects

  • Anchor your answer in prioritize operationally practical configurations and least-privilege administration.
  • Containers scenarios for AZ-104 are frequently mapped to Domain 2 (15-20%), so read the objective carefully before picking controls or architecture.
  • Expect multi-topic scenarios where Containers interacts with identity, networking, governance, or monitoring patterns rather than appearing as an isolated question.
  • When two options are both technically valid, prefer the choice that best aligns with the exam's operational scope (Associate) and vendor best practices.

High-Value Containers Concepts

  • Know the core Containers building blocks cold: container instances, aci, aks, kubernetes.
  • Review the edge-case features and limits for docker, container registry; these details are commonly used to differentiate answer choices.
  • Practice service-integration reasoning: how Containers pairs with App Service, Virtual Machines in real deployment patterns.
  • For AZ-104, explain why the chosen Containers design meets reliability, security, and cost expectations better than the alternatives.

Common AZ-104 Traps

  • Watch for forgetting scope inheritance and RBAC precedence.
  • Questions in Implement and Manage Storage often include distractors that look correct for Containers but violate least-privilege, compliance, or availability requirements.
  • Avoid picking options purely by feature name; validate data path, failure handling, and governance impact before answering.
  • If the prompt hints at automation or repeatability, eliminate manual-only operational answers first.

Fast Review Checklist

  • Can you compare at least two Containers implementation paths and justify which one best fits the scenario?
  • Can you map the chosen answer back to Implement and Manage Storage (15-20%) outcomes for AZ-104?
  • Can you explain security and access boundaries for Containers without relying on default-open assumptions?
  • Can you describe how Containers integrates with App Service and Virtual Machines during failure, scaling, and monitoring events?
