ANSWER36:

B and D

Notes: VPN tunnels over Microsoft peering can be terminated either using VPN gateway, or using an appropriate Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) available through Azure Marketplace. We choose to use NVA because it accomplishes our goal, but for a lesser cost than Azure VPN Gateway. A route table is required to specify the next hop for traffic coming and going from the on-premises network.

Question 37: You have a Network Security Group (NSG) that is associated with a network interface that is attached to an Azure virtual machine named VM1 running Windows Server 2019. VM1 is in subnet named subnet1, in a virtual network named VNet1. A different NSG is attached to subnet1, but you notice that there is an inbound rule to allow port 3389. When you try to connect to VM1, you cannot connect. You reviewed the NSG and the source IP address and the protocol are correct. How can you connect to VM1 using best practices for NSGs in Azure?

A. The protocol on the NSG rule is set to UDP

B. The NSG attached to the network interface needs to be removed

C. The source IP address on the NSG rule is incorrect

D. You need to add an inbound rule for the NSG attached to the network interface

ANSWER37:

Notes: Removing the NSG from the network interface would allow the VM to use the NSG associated with the subnet, which is best practice.

Question 38: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. In Subscription1 you have an Azure VM named VM1 with Windows Server 2019 as the operating system. VM1 does not have a public IP address assigned to it. VM1 is located in a virtual network named VNet1, in subnet1. Attached to subnet1 is a Network Security Group (NSG) that has port 3389 open inbound. On your local machine, you do not have an RDP client installed, but you need to login into the VM. Without assigning a public IP address to the VM, what three things in combination can we use to log into VM1?

A. HTML5 supported Web Browser

B. Azure VPN Gateway

C. A subnet named AzureBastionSubnet

D. A Gateway Subnet

E. Azure Bastion Host

F. Inbound security rule to open port 443

ANSWER38:

A C E

Notes: The RDP connection to the virtual machine happens via Bastion host using the Azure portal (over HTML5) using port 443 and the Bastion service.

The subnet inside your virtual network to which the Bastion resource will be deployed must have the name AzureBastionSubnet. The name lets Azure know which subnet to deploy the Bastion resource to. This is different than a Gateway Subnet.

The Azure Bastion service is a new fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly in the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address.

VNet1 is located in the West US region and VNet2 is located in the East US region. You need to apply a network security group named NSG1 to a subnet in VNet1. NSG1 is located in the East US region. How do you attach NSG1 to the subnet in VNet1?

A. You can’t. Create a new network security group in the west us region

B. Move VNet1 into a resource group located in the east us region

C. Select the subnet and choose NSG1 from the network security group drop-down

D. Move NSG1 into the VNet1 resource group

ANSWER39:

Notes: In order for you to associate a network security group to a subnet, both the virtual network and the network security group must be in the same region.

Question 40: You have a subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 has one Azure virtual machine named VM1 which is an Ubuntu server. You can’t seem to login to the server via SSH. What tool should you use to verify if the problem is the network security group?

A. IP flow verify tool in Azure Network Watcher

B. Azure Monitor VM metrics

C. Azure Traffic Manager traffic view

D. Azure Virtual Network logs

ANSWER40:

Notes: The IP Flow Verify tool checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from a virtual machine. The information consists of direction, protocol, local IP, remote IP, local port, and a remote port. If the packet is denied by a security group, the name of the rule that denied the packet is returned.

Question 41: You have two Azure virtual machines named VM1 and VM2. VM1 is using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 (LVM) operating system and is located in VNet1, within subnet1. VM2 is using the Windows Server 2019 operating system, and is located in VNet1, within subnet2. VNet1 has custom DNS configured, pointing to a DNS server with the IP address 172.168.0.6. VM2 has 10.0.1.15 configured as the DNS server on its network interface. Which DNS server will VM2 use for DNS queries?

A. 8.8.8.8

B. 10.0.1.15 for primary, 172.168.0.6 as secondary

C. 10.0.1.15

D. 172.168.0.6

ANSWER41:

Notes: Since the network interface attached to VM2 is assigned to a specific DNS server, it takes precedence over the DNS configured on the VNet.

Question 46: You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. You would like to connect your on-premises environment to Subscription1. You have to meet three requirements from the business. The first requirement is that the connection from the on-premises office and Azure must be a private connection. No network traffic is allowed to go over the public internet. The second requirement is that all traffic from the on-premises office and Azure must happen at layer 3 (network layer). The third requirement is that this connection from on-premises to Azure must be redundant to minimize the opportunity for failure. What type of connection fulfills these three requirements?

A. ExpressRoute with premium add-on

B. ExpressRoute

C. Site-to-Site VPN

D. Virtual WAN

ANSWER46:

Notes: ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet. An ExpressRoute Connection is a layer 3 connection between your on-premises network and Azure through a connectivity provider (e.g. Verizon).

Question 47: You have an Azure subscription as well as an on-premises environment that is connected via ExpressRoute circuit. You have two additional branch offices that you need to connect to the network, as well as ten remote employees that change locations frequently but still need access to Azure resources. What is the solution that will provide the quickest setup at the lowest cost?

A. Site-to-Site VPN

B. Point-to-Site VPN

C. Virtual WAN

D. Hub-and-Spoke Network Topology

ANSWER47:

Notes: The Virtual WAN architecture is a hub and spoke architecture for branches and users. It enables global transit network architecture, where the cloud-hosted network ‘hub’ enables transitive connectivity between endpoints that may be distributed across different types of ‘spokes’. All hubs are connected in full mesh in a Standard Virtual WAN making it easy for the user to use the Microsoft backbone for any-to-any (any spoke) connectivity. This satisfies the requirement to provide the quickest set up at the lowest cost.

Question 48: You have a small number of servers running a microservice, and you want to make sure that all the servers have connectivity to each other. You also need to calculate network performance metrics like packet loss and link latency. Which two Azure resources do you need to meet this requirement?

A. Log Analytics Workspace

B. Network Performance Monitor

C. Azure Monitor

D. Azure Traffic Manager

ANSWER48:

A and B

Notes: A Log Analytics workspace is a data repository for Azure Monitor log data. A pre-requisite in order to use Network Performance Monitor. Network Performance Monitor helps you monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure. It also helps you monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints and monitor the performance of Azure ExpressRoute.

Question 49: You have two virtual networks named VNet1 and VNet2. VNet1 is located in the West US region, whereas VNet2 is located in the East US region. You need to configure a virtual machine that’s located in VNet1 to also communicate with VMs in VNet2. From the choices available how can we enable communication between resources in VNet1 and VNet2

A. Migrate the VNet1 VM to VNet2 and leave the other VM components on VNet1

B. Migrate the network interface card (NIC), the network security group (NSG) and the VM disks to VNet2

C. Just the VM disks will need to be migrated to VNet2

D. Configure a VNet-to-VNet VPN gateway connection to allow communication between VNets in different regions

ANSWER49:

Question 50: You have two subscriptions, one named Subscription1 and the other named Subscription2. Both subscriptions are located within the same tenant. You have one Azure virtual machine located within Subscription1 and another Azure virtual machine within Subscription2 and you’d like to view CPU utilization metrics on both virtual machines. How can you achieve this while maintaining the minimum number of Azure resources and minimizing cost?

A. Create a Log Analytics Workspace for both VMs

B.Turn on VM Insights in Azure Monitor

C. Install the Log Analytics (OMS) Agent on the VMs

D. Enable guest-level monitoring on each VM

ANSWER50:

A and B

Notes: You can view metrics data (such as CPU utilization %) over time by sending your metrics data to a log analytics workspace. This workspace can collect metrics data from multiple VMs, no matter if they are located in the same or different subscriptions.

VM integration with Azure Monitor Logs delivers powerful aggregation and filtering, allowing Azure Monitor for VMs to analyze data trends over time. You can view this data in a single VM from the virtual machine directly, or you can use Azure Monitor to deliver an aggregated view of your VMs where the view supports Azure resource-context or workspace-context modes.

Question 51: You have created a new Azure virtual machine named VM1. You plan to use VM1 as a web server, which will require the VM to be accessible using HTTP/S (HTTP and HTTPS) protocol. A Network Security Group (NSG) is attached to the NIC of VM1 with the following rules:

Priority|Name|Port|Protocol|SRC|DEST|Action| |:—|:—:|:—:|:—:|:—:|:—:|—:| |300|Rule2|80|TCP|Any|Any|Deny| |400|Rule1|443|TCP|Any|Any|Deny| |500|Rule4|60-500|TCP|Any|Any|Allow| |600|Rule5|22|TCP|72.166.177.14/32|Any|Deny| |1000|Rule3|22|TCP|Any|Any|Allow|

What changes do you have to make to the NSG in order to meet the requirements for VM1?

A. Change the priority of Rule3 to 200

B. Change the action of Rule1 to Allow

C. Change the priority of Rule4 to 200

D. Change the port of Rule5 to 443

ANSWER51:

Notes: Lower priority rules take precedence over higher ones. Changing Rule4 to a lower number will negate all the other rules of a lesser priority, therefore allowing traffic on ports 60-500, which includes 80 and 443, the ports necessary for allowing traffic over HTTP/S. Remember the lower the priority the priority number the higher the priority in regards to reading the rules.

Question 52: You have an Azure virtual machine running Windows Server 2016. You need to collect OS level metrics on this virtual machine, including Windows event logs and performance counters. Which of the following items do you need in order to collect this metrics data?

A. Enable guest-level monitoring

B. Windows Diagnostics Extension

C. Log Analytics Agent

D. InfluxData Telegraf Agent

E. Storage Account for Diagnostic Data

ANSWER52:

A B E

Notes: In order to install the diagnostics extension on an Azure VM, you must enable guest-level monitoring from the VM settings in the portal. Windows Diagnostic Extension is an agent in Azure Monitor that collects monitoring data from the guest operating system and workloads of Azure virtual machines and other compute resources. In order to enable guest-level monitoring, you need to create a storage account for storing the metrics data.

Question 53: You have an Azure subscription with a virtual machine named VM1. You are using Recovery Services Vault (RSV) to backup VM1 with soft delete enabled. The backup policy is set to backup daily at 11 PM UTC, retain an instant recovery snapshot for 2 days, and retain the daily backup point for 14 days. After the initial backup of VM1, you are instructed to delete the vault and all of the backup data. What should you do?

A. Turn off soft delete in the vault security settings

B. Wait 14 days

C. Stop the backup of VM1 and delete backup data

D. Delete the backup policy

E. Delete Backup Jobs Workload

F. Wait 15 days

ANSWER53:

A and C

Notes: When you stop the backup and delete the backup data, because you have soft delete enabled, the backup data is still kept. Permanently delete the soft-deleted backup items that would remove the backup data indefinitely. If you stop the backup of VM1 and choose delete backup data from the dropdown menu, this will stop future backups and delete the existing backup data.

Question 54: You have a number of virtual machines and web applications running in your Azure environment. These Azure resources are critical for business operations, so you’ve locked the resources in order to prevent deletion. In addition, how can you alert on these actions in the portal, and notify your team via email and SMS when a user is trying to delete or create a new resource from within your Azure subscription?

A. Pin the activity log to your dashboard

B. Create a new alert rule

C. Query Administrative Events and Copy Link to Query

D. Create a new action group

ANSWER54:

B and D

Notes: Alert rules specify the conditions for which the alert is triggered. Activity log alerts are the alerts that get activated when a new activity log event occurs that matches the conditions specified in the alert. An action group is a collection of notification preferences defined by the owner of an Azure subscription. Azure Monitor and Service Health alerts use action groups to notify users that an alert has been triggered.

How can I add new secrets to Azure keyvault which has private endpoint enabled
by /u/curious_17 (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 9:14 pm
I have a keyvault which has private endpoint enabled. I have allowed our WAN IP on the keyvault firewall but when I browse to the "Secrets" tab then I get the following error:- " The connection to data plane failed. Please refresh and try again. If Private Links are enabled on the vault and the issue persists please follow the steps in the following link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156688 . " Also, I have VMs on the same subnet as the keyvault endpoint address. But the internet access is only allowed through proxy on those VMs. The subnets for these VMs are allowed on the keyvault firewall. If try to access the keyvault from Azure console from these VMs through proxy I get following error:- "Refresh the browser to try again. Microsoft\Azure_KeyVault extension failed to load.) Please visit Portal Self Help to perform diagnostics." There is a DNS problem I have noticed with our Azure hosted DNS zone. "keyvaultname.vaultcore.azure.net" does not alias to "keyvaultname.privatelink.vaultcore.azure.net" on these Azure VMs or on on-prem network. So for now I added a host file entry to resolve "keyvaultname.vaultcore.azure.net" to the private endpoint IP address. But still the keyvault console access gives the above error on these Azure VMs. How can I access existing secrets and add new ones to this vault using console (or powershell from the Azure VMs will be the only option to access these)? submitted by /u/curious_17 [link] [comments]
The best way to domain join an Azure VM?
by /u/StealthCatUK (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 8:33 pm
We have just started a POC with Azure ARM. We have an express route connection to our on-prem network/AD domain. I have been exploring Azure Bicep and Terraform, successfully deploying some basic resources such as vnet subnet and a few VMs. One of the problems I need to solve, is that during the deployment, windows VMs must join the on-prem domain. What is the best way to achieve this with bicep or terraform, or any other methods that could be automated? We are also on the process of getting to know Azure DevOps, so the solutions must be hands off. Cheers submitted by /u/StealthCatUK [link] [comments]

[Azure ACR] How can I delete untagged manifests?
by /u/Thecakeisalie25 (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 6:48 pm
I've been brought on board a new project, and I'm looking at the ACR for it (it uses IoT edge) and it's taking up ~40GB. Before I got here, the dockerfile was arranged poorly, such that copying over the code was the first step, and so all other steps (apt update, install deps, etc) were never cached. That probably explains why it was so bloated, but why does it take up that much space NOW? I've deleted all the images from old (way old) versions of our modules, but the storage space doesn't go down. Even after I've deleted every single tagged image, it still takes up ~40GB, there's a bunch of manifests floating around in there that aren't tagged, and I want them to stop being there. Is there a way to do this? I've fixed the dockerfile so that new builds are only 7kb, so I only really need to purge it this once. submitted by /u/Thecakeisalie25 [link] [comments]
Logic App - Get File Content File Size Limit
by /u/phxkent (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 6:24 pm
After a year of working perfectly, I have a logic app that started to show inconsistencies. The app checks an FTP site for new files, gets the file metadata, gets the file content of the new file, saves the file content as a new blob, and sends an email when it has run. The problem appears to occur in the the "Get File Content" step. Prior to 5/1, the the process would process files greater than 10MB. As of 5/1/22, the Get file Content only copies 10 MB. Therefor the new blobs being created do not include all of the file content when the file is greater than 10MB. The process doesn't fail, it just doesn't copy all the contents. The file metadata step clearly shows that the file is greater than 10MB. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a new change as of 5/1? Any way to fix this? submitted by /u/phxkent [link] [comments]

PIM Global Administrator group - Users at risk detected alerts Not Working
by /u/Cloud_Comp_Admin (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 4:19 pm
We're testing out PIM and are having issues with notifications. In Azure, the Risky notifications aren't going to a PIM group created to assign the Global Administrator role. We have two users in this group, and two people with the access directly assigned and aren't in PIM. The two people with the access directly assigned are getting the notifications. I confirmed in the Users at risk detected alerts have the two people with the Global administrator role directly assigned to them, but not hose with the PIM group. According to the page in Security -> Identity Protection -> Users at risk detected alerts: " If a user is enrolled in PIM to elevate to one of these roles on demand then they will only receive emails if they are elevated at the time the email is sent. The Admin's configured email must be able to pass the validation checks for custom emails on the "Users at risk detected alerts" page." I'm not sure what "The Admin's configured email must be able to pass the validation checks for custom emails on the "Users at risk detected alerts" page." means since when the two users with the PIM Global Administrator group currently assigned to them were getting emails when they had the Global Administrator role directly assigned to them . Checked the page: Azure Active Directory Identity Protection notifications | Microsoft Docs which didn't help. Any guidance is much appreciated, thanks in advance for the advice! submitted by /u/Cloud_Comp_Admin [link] [comments]
Azure AD for mobile
by /u/LeonardoDaWitchy (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 3:58 pm
Hello all and thank you for looking at my post. I am developing a mobile app (cross platform) which requires users to authenticate. My organization would like to use Azure AD (we have enterprise license). Here’s my issue. It doesn’t appear that with Azure AD I can create my own custom login screen inside the app. I understand I can create custom login views from the azure portal or even upload my own html files etc. That’s all good but what I am trying to do is have a screen inside the app with two fields (username and password) and when the user taps on the sign in button they log in upon successful authentication. All I could find right now was in my app registration to use a callback url so essentially the user will exit the app, be taken to a browser window to login to AAD and then be redirected back to the app. I really would prefer to avoid such a scenario. Am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks in advance - Leo submitted by /u/LeonardoDaWitchy [link] [comments]
Azure - Provisioning failed
by /u/farchris (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 3:50 pm
Hello, I want to increase the tcp idle timeout but it's not possible because the vm is faulty (see attached image below). I tried the "Redeploy + reapply" option but it doesn't help. On a windows-system you can run "sysprep" via rdp but in this case it's a linux machine (CentOS) only with ssh-access. Does anyone know how can I remove the error? Thank you for your help! https://preview.redd.it/tnlixamicu191.png?width=1662&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f872aceb2c9a122acaa0c9ed5fec4d2f037d2e8 submitted by /u/farchris [link] [comments]
Access a dashboard similar to how you use a sas token

We have an Azure dashboard that we would like to add to a wall TV for monitoring but I was wondering if you could get "secure/authenticated" access in the same way a sas token works against a storage account to give read only live access? submitted by /u/famelton [link] [comments]
Azure Firewall integration with Internal Load Balancer
by /u/0x4ddd (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 2:32 pm
Another question about Azure Firewall 😉 I thought I understand how Azure Firewall integration with Public/Internal Load Balancer works but I think I miss something. Docs (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firewall/integrate-lb#asymmetric-routing) show some diagrams how the traffic flows when there is a Public Load Balancer and Azure Firewall and how to integrate these two together. Asymmetric routing is where a packet takes one path to the destination and takes another path when returning to the source. This issue occurs when a subnet has a default route going to the firewall's private IP address and you're using a public load balancer. In this case, the incoming load balancer traffic is received via its public IP address, but the return path goes through the firewall's private IP address. Since the firewall is stateful, it drops the returning packet because the firewall isn't aware of such an established session. Diagram: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firewall/media/integrate-lb/firewall-lb-asymmetric.png I think I understand this part and the necessity for DNAT rule. My understanding (numbers are flows shown on the diagram). Client makes a request to Azure Firewall Source IP: Client IP Destination IP: FW PiP Firewall DNATs and SNATs to Public Load Balancer Source IP: FW PiP Destination IP: LB PiP Public Load Balancer routes traffic to VM Private IP Source IP: FW PiP (as I understand, Azure Load Balancer always preserves Source IP) Destination IP: VM Private IP VM responds Source IP: VM Private IP Destination IP: FW PiP UDR routes flow to the Internet via FW PiP instead of routing it to FW Private IP Source IP: FW PiP Destination IP: Client IP So far so good. However, next docs describe how to integrate Azure Firewall with Internal Load Balancer: With an internal load balancer, the load balancer is deployed with a private frontend IP address. There's no asymmetric routing issue with this scenario. The incoming packets arrive at the firewall's public IP address, get translated to the load balancer's private IP address, and then returns to the firewall's private IP address using the same return path. And here I do not really understand why there's no asymmetrc routing with this scenario. What's the difference? Isn't it like I need a DNAT rule anyway in the step 2 to translate to Internal LB IP and then wherever I had LB PiP in the previous scenario now I will have Internal LB IP? If so, I do not understand why there is no asymmetric routing as incoming traffic enters Firewall using Public IP and then it's routed to Firewall Private IP. submitted by /u/0x4ddd [link] [comments]

Best way to test connectivity from Azure WebApp to Azure SQL
by /u/apdunshiz (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 1:14 pm
HI guys, I have a webapp that needs to connect to Azure SQL. I know that a private endpoint method works, but this can be costly since it costs $0.01/GB/Month, just for the data processed. I can telnet/tcpping the webapp from the console, or even the browser debug option, but this is not a valid test. From my understanding, you can telnet or TCP ping on 1433 to ANY Azure SQL connection URL, if public access is allowed, but then it will sift through the whitelisted public IPs after that. Meaning, you will always get a response unless you specifically deny public access. I have added my webapp to an outbound integration subnet, added the SQL Service Endpoint to that subnet, and cannot see any errors in the logs but am not sure if I am 100% connected. I am not familiar with the actual webapp or what database does what (that is on someone else)... my job is to just make sure connectivity is there. Thanks in advanced! submitted by /u/apdunshiz [link] [comments]
Why Does Guest Login Requires Printer Setup Each Time
by /u/BBQingFool (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 12:48 pm
We have a guest login with no password setup on about 100 computers that auto deletes and resets things when that account logs off. However, it also resets the printer that is needed by our clients, so each new login requires the user to double click the printer and install it. Is there a way to have that printer installed permanently to avoid this? Appreciate any thoughts/advice. submitted by /u/BBQingFool [link] [comments]
Azure Firewall integration with Gateway Load Balancer
by /u/0x4ddd (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 12:15 pm
I've been reading about Gateway Load Balancer helping dealing with asymmetric routing problems when using firewalls/other NVAs. It looks great, however I'm curious if Gateway Load Balancer can work with Azure Firewall out-of-the box? Typically, the issue with Azure Firewall used only as an outbound firewall was that the Firewall was unaware of incoming packets and then it dropped outgoing packets. The resolution was to create public IPs on the Azure Firewall level and then route all incoming traffic through Azure Firewall. Then it had to DNAT to standard Load Balancer and application workload had an UDR routing all outbound traffic through firewall private IP address - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firewall/integrate-lb#fix-the-routing-issue Now, for several available NVAs it looks like this is possible to achieve with just a Gateway Load Balancer and chaining so we do not have to configure any DNAT or public IPs assigned to Gateway Load Balancer/NVAs. So the question is - does Azure Firewall work with Gateway Load Balancer? 😉 submitted by /u/0x4ddd [link] [comments]
Autopilot help
by /u/IronBalanski (Microsoft Azure) on May 26, 2022 at 11:49 am
We are attempting to simplify the OOBE process for users and I'm wondering if it is possible to pull dish the user related policies/applications during the autopilot stage. I've attempted to do this by assigning a user to the machine prior to the autopilot but it doesn't work. Any ideas? For context we are in a hybrid environment and want users to have their own primary device. submitted by /u/IronBalanski [link] [comments]
