- Question 1Design infrastructure solutions
An architect evaluates whether to use Azure App Service or Azure Container Apps for a new microservices platform. The team wants built-in Dapr, autoscale to zero, and KEDA-based event-driven scaling. Which service should be chosen?

An architect evaluates whether to use Azure Functions Premium Plan vs. App Service Plan for a Function App. The function needs VNet integration, pre-warmed instances to avoid cold starts, and custom maximum scale-out. Which plan provides all three?

Key Compute Concepts for AZ-305
AZ-305 Compute Exam Tips
Compute Solution Design questions in AZ-305 are typically scenario-based. Focus on solution architecture design, resilience, governance, and data platform trade-offs. Priority concepts: virtual machine, aks, app service, functions, container apps, batch.
What AZ-305 Expects
- Anchor your answer in select architecture decisions that balance business continuity, performance, and governance.
- Compute scenarios for AZ-305 are frequently mapped to Domain 4 (25-30%), so read the objective carefully before picking controls or architecture.
- Expect multi-topic scenarios where Compute 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 (Expert) and vendor best practices.
High-Value Compute Concepts
- Know the core Compute building blocks cold: virtual machine, aks, app service, functions.
- Review the edge-case features and limits for container apps, batch; these details are commonly used to differentiate answer choices.
- Practice service-integration reasoning: how Compute pairs with Networking, Application Architecture in real deployment patterns.
- For AZ-305, explain why the chosen Compute design meets reliability, security, and cost expectations better than the alternatives.
Common AZ-305 Traps
- Watch for designing for feature completeness but not for resilience.
- Questions in Design Infrastructure Solutions often include distractors that look correct for Compute 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 Compute implementation paths and justify which one best fits the scenario?
- Can you map the chosen answer back to Design Infrastructure Solutions (25-30%) outcomes for AZ-305?
- Can you explain security and access boundaries for Compute without relying on default-open assumptions?
- Can you describe how Compute integrates with Networking and Application Architecture during failure, scaling, and monitoring events?
