Question 1

You are designing a cloud-native application that requires a NoSQL key-value store.

The application will store user session state data. The data volume is expected to be small (under 50 GB), and the application will only be deployed in a single Azure region. Cost optimization is the primary architectural driver, as the startup has a very limited budget. The application code uses the standard Azure Table Storage SDK.

Which data storage solution should you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate the constraints: NoSQL key-value, single region, small data, and PRIMARY driver is cost. Table Storage is the cheapest option.

Question 2

What mistakes do candidates make on this AZ-305 question?

Accepted Answer
