The exam
Validates the skills to design cloud and hybrid solutions on Azure — identity, governance and monitoring; data storage; business continuity; and infrastructure — aligned to the Azure Well-Architected Framework and Cloud Adoption Framework. A design-focused expert exam built around recommending solutions and weighing trade-offs, including case studies.
Who it is for
Azure solutions architects with advanced experience across compute, networking, storage, identity, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data platforms, and governance, who translate business requirements into well-architected Azure designs. Typically hold or have the knowledge for AZ-104.
What it covers
Your readiness map in the app is organised the same way, so what you see here is exactly what you study against.
What Preppio gives you
Across every domain above, in 4 formats: concept, scenario, multi-select, matching, plus case-study practice. Each one explains why the right answer is right and every distractor wrong.
Per domain, whether you are ready, weak, or not started — the same domains and weights as the exam itself.
Your study partner. He tracks where you are weak and drills exactly that, instead of serving you what you already know.

Sample 1 · Concept
You are designing a compute solution for Litware, Inc. The workload consists of event-driven, short-lived processing tasks that run for a few seconds at unpredictable intervals, sometimes idle for hours. The solution must scale to zero when idle to minimize costs, and must not require the candidate to manage container orchestration. What should you recommend?
Pick one, then submit.

4 domains, weighted as the exam weights them: Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions (28%), Design data storage solutions (23%), Design business continuity solutions (17%) and Design infrastructure solutions (32%). Your readiness map in the app is organised by the same domains, so what you study against is what the exam tests.
Four formats: concept, scenario, multi-select and matching. The practice questions use every one of them, and the sample on this page shows one of each. Case studies are included too.
AZ-305 is on the Single, Dual and All Access plans. You start on the free tier and add it from the plan picker inside the app. Three fundamentals exams (AZ-900, CLF-C02 and CDL) are always free, and the sample on this page is free to try.
Every question is generated from the exam's published objectives, then checked for accuracy, answer key and explanation before it is served. Nothing is copied from any exam, questions rotate by how often they have been seen, and they are retired when the objectives change.
