Manage Azure subscriptions and governance
Objective subscriptions.governance sits in Manage Azure identities and governance, which carries 24% of the Azure Administrator exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Microsoft Azure page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A cloud administrator has created 250 storage accounts using standard endpoints in the East US region under one subscription and needs to create additional standard-endpoint accounts in the same region and subscription. What should the administrator do?
The concept
Subscriptions have default resource quotas, such as the 250 standard-endpoint storage accounts per region, and administrators manage governance by requesting quota increases rather than restructuring resources.
Why this answer
The default quota for standard endpoints is 250 storage accounts per region per subscription, but Microsoft supports raising this to 500 through a quota increase request, letting the administrator stay on the same subscription, region, and endpoint type.
- Correct: a quota increase request raises the standard endpoint limit without changing subscription, region, or endpoint type.
- BUnnecessary and disruptive: the documented remediation for hitting this quota is a quota increase, not creating and managing a separate subscription.
- CChanges the endpoint type entirely to a preview feature with different behavior, when the administrator wants to keep using standard endpoints.
- DContainer count inside an account has no effect on the number of storage accounts a subscription can create in a region.
- EThe limit is per region and subscription for storage accounts, not tied to any virtual network placement.

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
An administrator creates a virtual network in a subscription but has not yet deployed any VMs or other resources into it. Which statement about billing for the virtual network is correct?
Sample question 2 of 3
A subscription administrator has already created 250 storage accounts using standard endpoints in the East US region and must add more accounts in that same region and subscription, keeping standard endpoints. What should the administrator do?
Sample question 3 of 3
An administrator is deploying a zonal virtual machine into an existing virtual network and is also near the subscription's default limit for public IP addresses in the region. Which two statements are accurate?
