Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 77

Which statement accurately describes the Modern Lifecycle Policy for Azure services?

Answer options

• A. Microsoft provides mainstream support for a service for five years.
• B. Microsoft provides a minimum of 12 months' notice before ending support for a service.
• C. After a service is made generally available, Microsoft provides support for the service for a minimum of four years.
• D. When a service is retired, you can purchase extended support for the service for up to five years.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Microsoft indeed provides a minimum of 12 months' notice before ending support for a service, ensuring users have time to transition. Option A is incorrect because mainstream support durations can vary, and option C is misleading since Microsoft typically supports a service for three years, not four. Option D is also incorrect as extended support is not guaranteed for all services and does not universally apply.
