Design labs

Scenario-based architecture exercises that mirror how AZ-305 asks you to design solutions. Work each requirement, check off your tasks, then reveal the model solution and compare your reasoning.

How to use these labs AZ-305 is a design exam — you won't deploy resources, you'll justify choices. For each lab, sketch your architecture on paper, decide a service for each requirement, then reveal the model answer.

Lab 1 · Global, resilient web platform

Domains 3 & 4

Scenario. Contoso runs a customer-facing web app on App Service in East US. After an outage, leadership requires the app to survive a full regional failure, block common web attacks, route users to the nearest healthy region, and minimize infrastructure management.

Your design tasks

Lab 2 · Secure hybrid network & governance

Domains 1 & 4

Scenario. An enterprise has 12 subscriptions and an on-premises datacenter. They need private high-bandwidth connectivity to Azure, centralized traffic inspection, no public IPs on VMs, region restrictions enforced everywhere, and just-in-time admin access.

Your design tasks

Lab 3 · Data platform & compliance

Domains 1 & 2

Scenario. A bank migrates a SQL Server OLTP database and 30 TB of file shares to Azure. Transaction records need immutable 10-year retention, cold files should tier to the cloud, sensitive columns must be hidden from DBAs, and apps must access storage without stored credentials.
