AZ-900 Practice Question 20: Advisor Categories
Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) · Test 2 · question 10 of 10
Azure Advisor analyses your deployed resources and sorts its personalized recommendations into five categories. Which list names them correctly?
Show answer and explanation
Answer:
Advisor is described as a digital cloud assistant that inspects your resource configuration and usage telemetry, and its dashboard divides recommendations into exactly five categories: Reliability, Security, Performance, Cost, and Operational excellence. They are the same five pillars used by the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework, which is the easiest way to remember the list.
Options A and B both substitute Compliance for one of the real categories. Compliance reporting against regulatory standards is the job of Microsoft Defender for Cloud and the Service Trust Portal, not Advisor. Option A also adds Sustainability, a carbon-optimization topic tracked separately rather than an Advisor category. Option C swaps in Manageability and Governance; both are genuine Azure vocabulary: manageability is one of the benefits of cloud computing and governance is a Cloud Adoption Framework discipline, but neither is a heading on the Advisor dashboard.
