ExpressRoute is a service offered by Microsoft Azure that provides a dedicated, private, and

high-speed connection between on-premises networks and Azure data centers. It enables
organizations to establish a direct and private network connection, bypassing the public
internet, to access Azure services and resources securely and with reliable network
performance.

Key features and benefits of ExpressRoute include:

1. Private Connectivity: ExpressRoute offers a private, dedicated connection to Azure,


ensuring data privacy and security without data traversing the public internet.
2. Reliability and Performance: The service provides a more predictable and
consistent network performance compared to internet-based connections, resulting in
low-latency and high-bandwidth connections.
3. Global Reach: ExpressRoute is available in various locations worldwide, allowing
organizations to establish connections to Azure data centres in different regions.
4. Dynamic Routing: ExpressRoute uses Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to enable
dynamic routing, allowing automatic failover and load balancing for better network
resilience.
5. Hybrid Cloud Connectivity: With ExpressRoute, organizations can extend their on-
premises networks to Azure, enabling seamless integration between on-premises and
cloud resources.
6. Azure Services Access: ExpressRoute provides direct access to various Azure
services, including Virtual Networks, Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL Database, and
more.
7. Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Microsoft offers SLAs for ExpressRoute,
guaranteeing a certain level of uptime and reliability for the service.

ExpressRoute can be beneficial for organizations that require a private, secure, and high-
performance connection to Azure, especially for workloads that involve sensitive data, real-
time communication, or large data transfers. It is typically used for scenarios such as data
replication, disaster recovery, hybrid cloud connectivity, and building mission-critical
applications in Azure.

13. What are the types of Queues offered by


Azure?

Azure offers two types of queues:

Storage Queues:

 It is a part of Azure’s Storage infrastructure.

 It provides messaging within and between services.


 It is best suited when users need to store more than 80 GB of
messages in queues.

 It can provide side logs of all transactions executed against the


user’s queues.

Service Bus Queues:

 It is a part of Azure’s messaging infrastructure.

 It integrates application or application components that span


multiple communication protocols, network environments, etc.

 It provides a FIFO style of delivery.

 The user’s queue size has to remain under 80 GB.

14. What are the advantages of the Azure


Resource Manager?

Azure Resource Manager enables users to manage their usage of


application resources. Few of the advantages of Azure Resource Manager
are:

 ARM helps deploy, manage, and monitor all the resources for an
application, a solution, or a group.

 Users can be granted access to resources they require.

 It obtains comprehensive billing information for all the resources


in the group.

 Provisioning resources is made much easier with the help of


templates.

18. What are the different types of storage


offered by Azure?

Storage questions are very commonly asked during an Azure Interview.


Azure has four different types of storage. They are:
Azure Blob Storage

Blob Storage enables users to store unstructured data that can include
pictures, music, video files, etc. along with their metadata.

 When an object is changed, it is verified to ensure it is of the


latest version.

 It provides maximum flexibility to optimize the user’s storage


needs.

 Unstructured data is available to customers through REST-based


object storage.

Azure Table Storage

Table Storage enables users to perform deployment with semi-structured


datasets and a NoSQL key-value store.

 It is used to create applications requiring flexible data schema.

 It follows a strong consistency model, focusing on enterprises.

Azure File Storage

File Storage provides file-sharing capabilities accessible by the SMB


(Server Message Block) protocol.

 The data is protected by SMB 3.0 and HTTPS

 Azure takes care of managing hardware and operating system


deployments.

 It improves on-premises performance and capabilities.

Azure Queue Storage

Queue Storage provides message queueing for large workloads.

 It enables users to build flexible applications and separate


functions.
 It ensures the application is scalable and less prone to individual
components failing.

 It enables queue monitoring which helps ensure customer


demands are met.
