Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ104) Practice Exam

To check the creation date and time of resources in RG1, which action should be taken?

1. Select Programmatic deployment from the Subscriptions blade

2. Click Deployments from the RG1 blade

3. Select Resource providers from the Subscriptions blade

4. Run a PowerShell script to extract deployment history

The correct answer is: Click Deployments from the RG1 blade

To find the creation date and time of resources in a specific resource group, the most appropriate action is to click on Deployments from the resource group blade (RG1). This section provides a detailed history of all deployments that have occurred within that resource group, including information about when each resource was created. Each deployment entry typically includes timestamps related to when the deployment began and was completed, which makes it easy to track when resources were created as a result of those deployments. The other options do not directly lead to the deployment history of resources within a specific resource group. Programmatic deployment refers to methods of deployment using tools and APIs but doesn’t provide a historical view of resources. Resource providers relate to the different services available within Azure but do not provide insight into the actual creation timestamps of resources. Running a PowerShell script could potentially yield information about deployment history, but it requires additional steps and might not be as straightforward as simply using the Azure portal to check the deployment records directly. Therefore, clicking on Deployments from the RG1 blade directly addresses the need for viewing creation dates and times of resources in that resource group.
