Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) is a Microsoft certification with approximately 50 questions in 120 minutes. The table below shows the exam weighting published for each domain, so you can decide where to spend your study time instead of working through the syllabus in order.
| Domain | Exam weight | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Design Infrastructure Solutions | 35% | Design compute, network, and migration |
| Design Identity, Governance, and Monitoring | 25% | Design identity and governance solutions |
| Design Data Storage Solutions | 25% | Design data storage solutions |
| Design Business Continuity Solutions | 15% | Design backup and disaster recovery |
A passing study plan usually trails the weighting: spend the most sessions on Design Infrastructure Solutions (35%), then check the next domain down before moving on. If your accuracy on a high-weight domain stays under 80%, more practice there is worth more than another pass at a low-weight topic.
These questions come from the Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) practice bank. Read the rationale even when you answer correctly — the explanation is usually where the exam technique lives.
A software vendor must keep European customer data processed in a European Azure region and Australian customer data in an Australian region. Each region runs its own copy of the application, users reach the service through a public hostname, and the vendor must show a regulator that a European user is never routed to the Australian deployment. Which routing method should the architect configure?
Answer: A. Option A is correct because geographic routing maps the resolved name to the region that serves the user's location, so a European user is directed to the European deployment as a rule the vendor can demonstrate, rather than as a consequence of measured speed. Option B chooses by latency, which could send a European user to Australia when that endpoint answers faster. Option C also measures speed rather than the user's location. Option D balances connections without regard to where the user sits, which is exactly what the regulator wants to rule out.
A security team deploys a pair of virtual appliances that inspect all traffic between the spokes and the internet. The appliances must receive every protocol and port the spokes send, and the team wants both appliances to be in service at once with health checking so a failed appliance drops out. Which configuration should the architect apply to spread the traffic?
Answer: B. Option B is correct because HA ports on an internal load balancer forward every protocol and port without a rule per service, and both appliances sit behind the front end with health probes, so the surviving appliance keeps inspecting when the other fails. Option A would need a separate rule for every port the spokes use, which does not scale to all protocols. Option C gives the appliances a public address they do not need for internal inspection. Option D is a layer-seven service for HTTP traffic and cannot carry arbitrary protocols.
A property agency hosts six customer websites on one pool of internal web servers and pays for a separate public ingress resource for each site. The agency wants all six names to reach the same pool through one gateway, each with its own TLS certificate, so that a request for one hostname is never served by another site's listener. Which feature should the architect configure?
Answer: C. Option C is correct because multi-site listeners let one gateway host several hostnames, each bound to its own certificate, and the listener matching the incoming hostname decides which site answers. That removes the extra ingress resources while keeping the sites on separate listeners. Option A keeps six gateways and the cost the agency wants to cut. Option B puts every site behind one listener, so a single certificate has to cover names that belong to different owners. Option D cannot read the hostname at the connection level that a load balancer works at.

The AZ-305 exam is organised into 4 domains: Design Infrastructure Solutions (35%), Design Identity, Governance, and Monitoring (25%), Design Data Storage Solutions (25%), Design Business Continuity Solutions (15%). The weighting above shows how much of the exam each domain represents, so budget study time in the same proportion.
The AZ-305 exam has approximately 50 questions in 120 minutes, with a passing score of 700. Practice sets here are scored the same way as the real exam so you can see whether you are above or below the line before test day.
Start with Design Infrastructure Solutions, the highest-weighted domain, then work down the list. Answer a mixed set after each domain pass — mixing domains forces you to identify what a question is asking before recalling the content, which is what the real exam does.
No. These are original practice questions written against the published AZ-305 exam objectives. They mirror the style, difficulty, and domain weighting of the real exam, but the actual exam content is confidential and is not reproduced here.
