Microsoft AZ-104 Exam - Topic 14 Question 94 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AZ-104 exam

Question #: 94
Topic #: 14

You have an Azure virtual network named VNet1 that contains a subnet named Subnet1. Subnet1 contains three Azure virtual machines. Each virtual machine has a public IP address.

The virtual machines host several applications that are accessible over port 443 to user on the Internet.

Your on-premises network has a site-to-site VPN connection to VNet1.

You discover that the virtual machines can be accessed by using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from the Internet and from the on-premises network.

You need to prevent RDP access to the virtual machines from the Internet, unless the RDP connection is established from the on-premises network. The solution must ensure that all the applications can still be accesses by the Internet users.

What should you do?

AModify the address space of the local network gateway.

BRemove the public IP addresses from the virtual machines.

CModify the address space of Subnet1.

DCreate a deny rule in a network security group (NSG) that is linked to Subnet1

Modifying the address space won't solve the RDP issue, just saying.

Wait, can we really just block RDP from the internet? Sounds risky!

Removing public IPs (option B) could work too, but might limit access.

I think option D is the way to go. NSG rules can control access effectively.

This question seems similar to one we practiced about securing VMs. I think we had to create rules in NSGs to limit access, so D sounds familiar.

I feel like modifying the address space of Subnet1 doesn't really address the RDP issue directly. So, I’m leaning towards option D as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but removing the public IPs could also restrict access. That might be option B, but then how would users access the apps?

I remember we talked about using NSGs to control traffic, so I think option D might be the right choice.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is to create a deny rule in an NSG linked to Subnet1. That should block the RDP access from the internet while still allowing the application access.

Removing the public IP addresses from the VMs seems like it could work, but then how would the internet users access the applications? I'll need to double-check that option.

Okay, I think I've got it. We need to prevent RDP access from the internet while still allowing access to the applications over port 443. Creating a deny rule in an NSG linked to Subnet1 should do the trick.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between modifying the address space of the local network gateway versus Subnet1. I'll need to review those concepts.

The question is asking about detecting families of malware, so I'm guessing the Ethos engine might be the best option since it focuses on identifying malware groups.

I'm leaning towards option B because it includes the timeout, but the number 60 is throwing me off a bit.

Haha, imagine if the solution was to just change the RDP port to something random like 'port 12345'? That would really throw off any potential attackers!

A deny rule in the NSG linked to Subnet1 is definitely the way to go. That way, we can block RDP access from the internet while still allowing the applications to be accessed.

Modifying the address space of the local network gateway or Subnet1 doesn't really address the problem. We need to control access specifically to the RDP ports on the virtual machines.
