Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 338

What should a desktop application use to interact with Azure and manage resources?

Answer options

• A. APIs
• B. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates
• C. Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI)
• D. Azure Cloud Shell

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as APIs provide the necessary interface for applications to interact with Azure services and manage resources programmatically. The other options, while useful for managing Azure resources, are not specifically designed for direct interaction from a desktop application. Azure Resource Manager templates and CLI are typically used in different contexts, such as deployment and command execution.
