Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for a company. There is a virtual machine named VM1 that hosts a web application that must be accessible from the internet over port 80. The company's security policy states that virtual machines should not be assigned public addresses directly. What should you implement to meet these requirements?
Enable Azure Traffic Manager to route traffic to VM1
Configure an Azure Virtual Network NAT gateway
Set up an Azure Load Balancer to forward port 80 to VM1
Assign a public address to the virtual network subnet containing VM1
To allow internet users to access VM1 over port 80 without assigning a public address directly to the VM, you should set up an Azure Load Balancer with a public frontend. The load balancer forwards incoming traffic on port 80 to VM1's private address, complying with the security policy. Assigning a public address to a subnet is not possible and does not enable inbound traffic to the VM. A NAT gateway provides outbound connectivity for VMs without public addresses but does not support inbound connections. Azure Traffic Manager is used for DNS-based traffic load balancing across multiple endpoints and does not facilitate direct inbound access to a single VM.
