Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
A company manages several Azure virtual machines that host their web application tier. They want to efficiently manage the network access policies for these VMs without assigning policies directly to each network interface or subnet. Which Azure feature can they use to group these VMs for easier management of network access rules?
Create a Virtual Machine Scale Set for the VMs
Use Resource Groups to organize the VMs and apply network policies to the Resource Group
Create an Application Security Group and associate the VMs with it
Tag the VMs with a common tag and configure network policies based on tags
Application Security Groups (ASGs) allow you to group virtual machines based on application or workload, enabling the creation of network security rules that reference these groups. By associating the VMs with an ASG, administrators can apply and manage network access policies more efficiently through Network Security Groups (NSGs) that target the ASG. Resource Groups are used for organizing Azure resources but cannot have network policies applied directly to them. Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) facilitate deployment and management of identical VMs but are not intended for grouping VMs for network access rule management. Tags are metadata labels for categorizing resources and cannot be directly referenced in network security rules.
