About AZ-204
Building applications on Azure: App Service, Functions and containers, Blob Storage and Cosmos DB from the SDK, managed identities and Key Vault, caching and monitoring, and messaging with Service Bus, Event Grid and Event Hubs.
Who it's for. Developers building cloud applications on Azure.
How to prepare
- Service Bus vs Event Grid vs Event Hubs vs Storage Queues is the classic integration question.
- Know the Cosmos DB consistency levels in order, with their trade-offs.
- Functions triggers and bindings, and Durable Functions patterns, are tested in detail.
Sample AZ-204 questions
Try these with the answers on the page, then practise the full bank.
- A fintech company hosts several internal web tools on one App Service Plan. A reporting tool has recently begun using far more memory than its neighbors, and their response times have slipped. The company wants the reporting tool isolated from the others without paying to scale up the neighbors. What should the team do? Develop Azure compute solutions
- A Durable Functions orchestrator calls three activities one after another on a Premium plan. The middle activity may run for several minutes. What must be configured so that this activity is not cut off early? Develop Azure compute solutions
- Several instances of a worker service read the change feed of a Cosmos DB container. After a restart, each instance must resume from where the group left off, and the instances must divide the partitions among themselves. Where is that coordination state kept? Develop for Azure storage
- A media app uploads camera files of around 10 GB each over unreliable mobile networks. After a dropped connection, the upload should continue from the last successful chunk rather than starting over. Which client technique should be used? Develop for Azure storage
- An Event Grid webhook delivers to an HTTPS endpoint that rejects calls lacking an Authorization header with a bearer token. You need that header on every delivery, with the token kept out of the URL. What should you do? Connect to and consume services
- Your API Management instance fronts a legacy service that returns XML. Modern clients expect JSON responses, so the gateway must convert the backend's XML output. Which policy and section should you use? Connect to and consume services
- A container app serving a public API should add replicas as soon as any single replica is handling about 100 requests at the same moment. Which scale rule configuration matches this requirement? Develop Azure compute solutions
- Which metric can an Azure Monitor autoscale rule on an App Service plan use to add instances when the average load across them climbs? Develop Azure compute solutions

Questions people ask
Is this AZ-204 practice exam free?
Yes. All 230 questions, the timed mock exam and the explanations are free, and there's no account to create.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Real exam questions are confidential under the Azure candidate agreement. These are practice questions written to cover the same domains in the same scenario style, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
How is the AZ-204 mock exam scored?
Questions are drawn from every domain in proportion to the exam guide, and you get a raw percentage with a breakdown by domain. Azure uses scaled scoring, so treat 75% or more here as a sign you're ready rather than a predicted score.
