Microsoft AZ-305 Dumps - Pass Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions Exam in 2026

Microsoft AZ-305, Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions, is a key exam for the Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification. It is designed for professionals who plan, design, and recommend Azure solutions across identity, governance, storage, business continuity, and infrastructure. This exam matters because it validates the ability to create secure, scalable, and reliable Azure architectures for real-world business needs. Passing AZ-305 demonstrates strong solution design skills for advanced cloud roles.

# Exam Topics Sub-Topics Approximate Weightage (%)
1 Design Identity, Governance, and Monitoring Solutions Identity strategy, access management, governance controls, monitoring and alerting 25%
2 Design Data Storage Solutions Storage account design, data redundancy, data protection, storage access patterns 25%
3 Design Business Continuity Solutions Backup planning, disaster recovery, high availability, recovery objectives 25%
4 Design Infrastructure Solutions Networking design, compute planning, virtualization choices, application infrastructure 25%

The AZ-305 exam tests how well candidates can design Azure solutions that meet technical and business requirements. It focuses on practical decision-making, architecture planning, and the ability to choose the right services for identity, storage, resilience, and infrastructure. Candidates need more than theory because the exam measures applied knowledge, scenario analysis, and solution design depth.

Actual Microsoft AZ-305 Exam Questions

Question 1

Your company plans to deploy various Azure App Service instances that will use Azure SQL databases. The App Service instances will be deployed at the same time as the Azure SQL databases.

The company has a regulatory requirement to deploy the App Service instances only to specific Azure regions. The resources for the App Service instances must reside in the same region.

You need to recommend a solution to meet the regulatory requirement.

Solution: You recommend using the Regulatory compliance dashboard in Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

Does this meet the goal?

Correct answer: B

No, this solution does not meet the goal. The Regulatory Compliance dashboard in Microsoft Defender for Cloud is not the appropriate tool for enforcing deployment constraints:

<ul><li><strong>Compliance dashboard for assessment:</strong> Shows compliance status against regulatory frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc.) but does not enforce deployment restrictions</li><li><strong>Post-deployment evaluation:</strong> Assesses existing resources against compliance standards after they are deployed</li><li><strong>Cannot prevent regional deployment:</strong> Does not have capability to restrict App Service instances to specific Azure regions during deployment</li></ul>

The correct solution is <strong>Azure Policy</strong>:

<ul><li><strong>Pre-deployment enforcement:</strong> Prevents creation of resources that don't comply with policies</li><li><strong>Region restriction:</strong> Can enforce policies requiring App Service instances and related resources to deploy only to approved regions</li><li><strong>Regulatory compliance:</strong> Implements custom policies to meet specific regulatory location requirements</li><li><strong>Proactive control:</strong> Blocks non-compliant deployments before resources are created</li></ul>

Azure Policy is the governance tool for enforcing deployment constraints, while Defender for Cloud assesses compliance after deployment.

Question 2

You use Azure virtual machines to run a custom application that uses an Azure SQL database on the back end.

The IT apartment at your company recently enabled forced tunneling,

Since the configuration change, developers have noticed degraded performance when they access the database

You need to recommend a solution to minimize latency when accessing the database. The solution must minimize costs

What should you include in the recommendation?

Correct answer: D

Question 3

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Basic Azure virtual WAN named Virtual/WAN1 and the virtual hubs shown in the following table.

You have an ExpressRoute circuit in the US East region.

You need to create an ExpressRoute association to VirtualWAN1.

What should you do first?

Correct answer: A

US East and US West are in the same geopolitical region so there is no need for enabling ExpressRoute premium add-on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-wan/virtual-wan-about#basicstandard

The current config of virtual WAN is only Basic as given, so it can connect to only site to site VPN, to connect to express route it needs to be upgraded from basic to standard. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-wan/virtual-wan-about

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-wan/virtual-wan-about


Question 4

You are designing a solution that will include containerized applications running in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster.

You need to recommend a load balancing solution for HTTPS traffic. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Automatically configure load balancing rules as the applications are deployed to the cluster.

Support Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF).

Support cookie-based affinity.

Support URL routing.

What should you include the recommendation?

Correct answer: B

Much like the most popular Kubernetes Ingress Controllers, the Application Gateway Ingress Controller provides several features, leveraging Azure's native Application Gateway L7 load balancer. To name a few:

URL routing

Cookie-based affinity

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) termination

End-to-end SSL

Support for public, private, and hybrid web sites

Integrated support of Azure web application firewall

Application Gateway redirection support isn't limited to HTTP to HTTPS redirection alone. This is a generic redirection mechanism, so you can redirect from and to any port you define using rules. It also supports redirection to an external site as well.

Question 5

You have an Azure subscription that contains multiple virtual machines that use managed disks.

You plan to use Azure Site Recovery to replicate the virtual machines across availability zones in the same Azure region.

You need to recommend a redundancy level for the managed disks. The solution must maximize the availability of the planned solution

What should you recommend?

Correct answer: D

To maximize availability for managed disks replicated across availability zones using Azure Site Recovery, you should recommend <strong>Premium SSD with zone-redundant storage (ZRS)</strong>. Zone-redundant storage automatically replicates your managed disks across multiple availability zones within the same region, providing redundancy even if an entire availability zone fails. Combined with Site Recovery's cross-zone replication, this dual-layered redundancy approach maximizes data availability and resilience. Premium SSD-ZRS disks ensure that even if one zone is lost, your data remains accessible through the built-in zone redundancy, in addition to the Site Recovery replica in another zone.
