Standard SKU public IP is for public load balancers, not internal.

Just stopping VM2 doesn't help with the backend pool.

You can't add VMs to an internal load balancer with a public IP.

I feel like I’ve seen this scenario before, and I think the answer is "No" because of the public IP requirement.

I’m a bit confused about the need for a public IP with an internal load balancer. I thought it was unnecessary.

I think I practiced a similar question where we had to ensure VMs were in the same virtual network. Not sure if stopping VM2 is relevant here.

I remember that internal load balancers don't require public IPs, so this solution might not work.

Okay, I think I see what's going on here. The goal is to add VM1 and VM2 to the backend pool of the internal load balancer. The proposed solution of adding a public IP to VM1 and stopping VM2 doesn't seem to address that directly. I'll need to think about how to properly configure the VMs and the load balancer to meet the requirements.

I think I've got a handle on this. The key is that the load balancer is internal, so the VMs need to be in the same virtual network. The proposed solution of adding a public IP to VM1 doesn't seem quite right. Let me review the requirements again and see if I can come up with a better approach.

I'm a bit confused by the part about the public IP address. Isn't this an internal load balancer? I'll need to make sure I understand how that fits into the solution.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key seems to be ensuring that VM1 and VM2 can be added to the backend pool of the internal load balancer. I'll need to double-check the requirements and see if the proposed solution fully addresses that.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the requirements and the proposed solution to make sure I understand everything correctly.

Stop VM2? What is this, a hostage situation? Let's just add both VMs and call it a day.

Ugh, these Azure questions can be so confusing sometimes. I'm just going to go with 'No' and hope for the best.

Hmm, I'm not sure creating a public IP address for an internal load balancer is the correct solution. Isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of an internal load balancer?
