AZ-305 · Question 38 · Domain 4.1: Compute Solutions
You are designing a microservices architecture for a new cloud-native application.
The application consists of 15 containerized microservices. The development team wants to use Kubernetes for orchestration, but the operations team has strictly mandated that they will NOT manage underlying virtual machine infrastructure, perform OS patching, or manage Kubernetes cluster upgrades.
Which compute service should you recommend?

Which compute service should you recommend?
Answer options:
A.
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
B.
Azure Container Instances (ACI)
C.
Azure Container Apps
D.
Azure App Service (Web App for Containers)
How to approach this question
Look for a service that provides Kubernetes orchestration but is fully serverless (no VM/node management).
Full Answer
C.Azure Container Apps✓ Correct
Azure Container Apps
Azure Container Apps is a fully managed, serverless container service built on top of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It is designed specifically for microservices. It abstracts away the underlying Kubernetes cluster, meaning the operations team does not need to manage VMs, node pools, or Kubernetes upgrades. It natively supports KEDA for event-driven autoscaling and Dapr for microservice building blocks.
Common mistakes
Choosing AKS. Candidates see 'Kubernetes' and immediately choose AKS, ignoring the strict constraint that the operations team refuses to manage infrastructure or cluster upgrades.
