Azure Interview Questions Part #3


Below are the questions for Azure interview :-

Q #1 What all could be the backend of Basic Load balancer.
Q #2 Customer wanted very low latency between the Azure VM as that’s the need or requirement of the app. What all could you suggest.
Q #3 What is the best way to check which NSG rule is blocking the traffic.
Q #4 How to enable Hybrid benefit in Azure or how can I deploy VM using HUB ?
Q #4 What is scaling , Types and how can you use it to benefit your app?
Q #6 Can you change the Name of the Azure VM on the portal? If yes how ?
Q #7 Can you add the existing machine in the AV-set ? if yes how ?
Q #8 Difference between Managed disk and Unmanaged Disk ?
Q #9 If you want to load balance between AV-Zones what kind of Azure Load balancer you need ?
Q #10 If I create a standard managed disk from an existing VHD that's 80 GB, how much will that cost me?



Lets discuss the Answers -

Q #1  What all could be the backend of Basic Load balancer
Single VM , multiple VM only if part of AV-set & VMSS

Q #2 Customer wanted very low latency between the Azure VM as that’s the need or requirement of the app. What all could you suggest
PPG , Accelerated networking & RSS ( Receive Side Scaling)

A proximity placement group is an Azure Virtual Machine logical grouping capability that you can use to decrease the inter-VM network latency associated with your applications. When the VMs are deployed within the same proximity placement group, they are physically located as close as possible to each other. Proximity placement groups are particularly useful to address the requirements of latency-sensitive workloads.

Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, greatly improving its networking performance. This high-performance path bypasses the host from the datapath, reducing latency, jitter, and CPU utilization, for use with the most demanding network workloads on supported VM types.

Accelerated networking enables on supported VM types & for all other Windows VMs, using Receive Side Scaling (RSS) can reach higher maximal throughput than a VM without RSS.

Q #3 What is the best way to check which NSG rule is blocking the traffic.
Use the inbuilt feature of Azure monitor called network watcher under network and diagnostic tools you will find IP flow verify . This feature can you give exact rule which is blocking the traffic.


Q #4 How to enable Hybrid benefit in Azure or how can I deploy VM using HUB ?
You can create from marketplace and use save money options and if you want to utilize the HUB for existing one you can use configuration option on VM pane and use HUB

Q #5 What is scaling , Types and how can you use it to benefit your app?



Q #6 Can you change the Name of the Azure VM on the portal? If yes how ?



Q #7 Can you add the existing machine in the AV-set ? if yes how ?



Q #8 Difference between Managed disk and Unmanaged Disk ?

Managed Disks = are managed by Microsoft Azure and you don't need any storage account while created new disk. Since the storage account is managed by Azure you do not have full control of the disks that are being created.
Un-managed Disks = is something which requires you to create a storage account before you create any new disk. Since, the storage account is created and owned by you, you have full control over all the data that is present on your storage account. Additionally, you also need to take care of encryption, data recovery plans etc.

New features or benefits of Managed disk :-
1.Simple and scalable VM deployment: Managed Disks will allow you to create up to 10,000 VM disks in a subscription, which will enable you to create thousands of VMs in a single subscription.
2.Better reliability for Availability Sets: Managed Disks provides better reliability for Availability Sets by ensuring that the disks of VMs in an Availability Set are sufficiently isolated from each other to avoid single points of failure.
3.      Highly durable and available
4.      Granular access control: You can use Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to assign specific permissions for a managed disk to one or more users. Managed Disks exposes a variety of operations, including read, write (create/update), delete, and retrieving a shared access signature (SAS) URI for the disk.
5.      Azure Backup service support: Use Azure Backup service with Managed Disks to create a backup job with time-based backups, easy VM restoration and backup retention policies


Q #9 If you want to load balance between AV-Zones what kind of Azure Load balancer you need ?
we need Standard LB which is compatible as per zones and standard IP if its public LB.

Q #10 If I create a standard managed disk from an existing VHD that's 80 GB, how much will that cost me?
A standard managed disk created from an 80-GB VHD is treated as the next available standard disk size, which is an S10 disk. You're charged according to the S10 disk pricing.
