SC-100 Certification Practice Question #270

Question

Your company has on-premises datacenters in Seattle, Chicago, and New York City.

You plan to migrate the on-premises workloads to the East US Azure region.

You need to design a governance solution for the management group hierarchy. The solution must be based on Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure principles and must ensure that the hierarchy aligns with the Azure landing conceptual architecture.

What should you use to identify which archetype-aligned management groups to create beneath the landing zones management group?

Accepted Answer

The question asks what identifies which **archetype-aligned** management groups to create beneath the *landing zones* management group, aligned to the CAF conceptual architecture. MS Learn defines archetype-aligned management groups as the *corp* and *online* child management groups, which "focus on hybrid connectivity (VPN/Azure ExpressRoute) requirements, such as internal only versus public-facing applications and services" — i.e., option C. The same page explicitly states that creating separate management groups per SDLC environment "creates more challenges for workload teams than it solves" and "we don't recommend separate management groups," directly eliminating the Suggested/Most-Voted answer D. Geography (A) and billing chargeback (B) are not how CAF defines landing-zone archetypes. Confidence is held at 76% because this is a genuine Suggested-vs-Most-Voted conflict (the official key and the community lean D), but MS Learn is unambiguous that hybrid connectivity (corp/online) — not SDLC — is the archetype dimension, so the documentation tiebreaker favors C while the disagreement caps certainty.
