The 10 sample cards as a list
  1. A template is deployed to a resource group in Complete mode. What happens to resources in the group that the template does not mention?
    They are deleted. Incremental mode, the default, leaves unlisted resources alone and only adds or updates what the template defines.

    Watch out: Microsoft no longer recommends Complete mode and plans to phase it out; it points to deployment stacks for removing resources a deployment no longer defines.
    Compute › ARM Templates and Bicep
  2. Before running a Bicep deployment against production, an admin wants to preview which resources would be created, changed or deleted. Which command?
    az deployment group what-if --resource-group Prod --template-file main.bicep
    Compute › ARM Templates and Bicep
  3. Which Azure CLI command deploys a Bicep file to an existing resource group?
    az deployment group create --resource-group MyRG --template-file main.bicep
    Compute › ARM Templates and Bicep
  4. The same template must deploy to dev, test and prod with different VM sizes and names. How is that usually handled?
    With parameters in the template and a separate parameter file per environment holding that environment's values.
    Compute › ARM Templates and Bicep
  5. How many IP addresses does Azure reserve in every subnet?
    Five — the network address, three addresses Azure uses for the gateway and DNS, and the last (broadcast) address.
    Virtual Networking › VNets Peering and Routing
  6. Two VNets both use 10.0.0.0/16. Can they be peered?
    No. Peered VNets need non-overlapping address spaces.
    Virtual Networking › VNets Peering and Routing
  7. Spoke A and spoke B are each peered to a hub VNet. Can A reach B through the hub?
    Not by default — peering is non-transitive. Peer A to B directly, or route through a hub firewall or NVA with user-defined routes.
    Virtual Networking › VNets Peering and Routing
  8. VMs must send performance counters and event logs to a Log Analytics workspace using the current agent. What is installed and what defines what to collect?
    The Azure Monitor Agent, with a data collection rule saying which data to collect and where to send it.
    Monitoring and Maintenance › Azure Monitor and Alerts
  9. A resource's platform logs should go to a Log Analytics workspace. What is configured on the resource?
    A diagnostic setting, which can send logs and metrics to a workspace, a storage account or an event hub.
    Monitoring and Maintenance › Azure Monitor and Alerts
  10. Which KQL operator filters rows, and which aggregates them into counts?
    where filters rows; summarize aggregates, for example | summarize count() by Computer.
    Monitoring and Maintenance › Azure Monitor and Alerts
