Moderate difficulty overall. I saw a mix of compute sizing, storage redundancy, and logging choices, plus a couple of questions on authentication flows and resource governance. The pacing felt manageable, but not casual.
Good spread of topics: Azure Front Door, private endpoints, app service plans, and BCDR design. The question style pushed me to compare options instead of just recalling terms, which made it useful.
The review touched the right AZ-305 areas: monitoring, disaster recovery, and hub-spoke networking. Some items were straightforward, but a few multi-step questions made me slow down more than expected.
Clear on identity and governance, with a few scenarios around RBAC, Key Vault, and policy assignments. I also liked the sections on storage tiers and backup choices, though one network question felt oddly worded.
