C seems overkill for just blocking IMDS access.

Wait, can you really block IMDS like that? Sounds tricky.

I’m a bit confused about whether I should focus on inbound or outbound rules here. I thought inbound rules were more about preventing access from outside, but this seems different.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to block access to a specific service. I think an outbound rule is what we used then.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think using a service tag could simplify things. It might be a good option to minimize admin effort.

I remember we discussed how the Azure Instance Metadata Service has a specific IP address, so blocking outbound traffic to that IP might be the way to go.

I'm a little confused here. Wouldn't blocking traffic to an IP address or application security group be more specific and targeted than using a service tag? I'm not sure if that would be considered "minimizing administrative effort" compared to the other options.

Okay, let me think this through. We need to prevent access to the IMDS REST API, and the question says the solution should minimize administrative effort. I'm thinking option B, the outbound rule blocking a service tag, might be the way to go. It seems like the most straightforward approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Blocking traffic to an IP address or application security group seems like it might require more manual configuration. I'm wondering if the service tag approach in option B could be the simplest solution.

I think the key here is to block access to the IMDS REST API on VM1. Based on the question, the solution should minimize administrative effort, so I'm leaning towards option B - adding an outbound rule that blocks traffic to a service tag.
