HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported) (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are evaluating the effect of the application security groups on the network communication between the virtual machines in Sub2.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: No. VM4 is in Subnet13 which has NSG3 attached to it.
VM1 is in ASG1. NSG3 would only allow ICMP pings from ASG2 but not ASG1. Only TCP traffic is allowed from ASG1.
NSG3 has the inbound security rules shown in the following table.

Box 2: Yes.
VM2 is in ASG2. Any protocol is allowed from ASG2 so ICMP ping would be allowed.
Box3. VM1 is in ASG1. TCP traffic is allowed from ASG1 so VM1 could connect to the web server as connections to the web server would be on ports TCP 80 or
TCP 443.

-Microsoft Antimalware must be installed on the virtual machines in Resource Group1.
-The members of Group2 must be assigned the Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster Admin Role.
-Azure AD users must be to authenticate to AKS1 by using their Azure AD credentials.
-Following the implementation of the planned changes, the IT team must be able to connect to VM0 by using JIT VM access.
-A new custom RBAC role named Role1 must be used to delegate the administration of the managed disks in Resource Group1. Role1 must be available only for Resource Group1.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported) (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You need to deploy AKS1 to meet the platform protection requirements.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correct orders you select.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Scenario: Azure AD users must be able to authenticate to AKS1 by using their Azure AD credentials.
Litware plans to deploy AKS1, which is a managed AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) cluster.
Step 1: Create a server application
To provide Azure AD authentication for an AKS cluster, two Azure AD applications are created. The first application is a server component that provides user authentication.
Step 2: Create a client application
The second application is a client component that's used when you're prompted by the CLI for authentication. This client application uses the server application for the actual authentication of the credentials provided by the client.
Step 3: Deploy an AKS cluster.
Use the az group create command to create a resource group for the AKS cluster.
Use the az aks create command to deploy the AKS cluster.
Step 4: Create an RBAC binding.
Before you use an Azure Active Directory account with an AKS cluster, you must create role-binding or cluster role-binding. Roles define the permissions to grant, and bindings apply them to desired users. These assignments can be applied to a given namespace, or across the entire cluster.

Security Operations Requirements
Litware must be able to customize the operating system security configurations in Azure Security Center.

You need to ensure that users can access VM0. The solution must meet the platform protection requirements.
What should you do?

  1. Move VM0 to Subnet1.
  2. On Firewall, configure a network traffic filtering rule.
  3. Assign RT1 to AzureFirewallSubnet.
  4. On Firewall, configure a DNAT rule.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Azure Firewall has the following known issue:
Conflict with Azure Security Center (ASC) Just-in-Time (JIT) feature.
If a virtual machine is accessed using JIT, and is in a subnet with a user-defined route that points to Azure Firewall as a default gateway, ASC JIT doesn't work.
This is a result of asymmetric routing ג€" a packet comes in via the virtual machine public IP (JIT opened the access), but the return path is via the firewall, which drops the packet because there is no established session on the firewall.
Solution: To work around this issue, place the JIT virtual machines on a separate subnet that doesn't have a user-defined route to the firewall.
Scenario:

Following the implementation of the planned changes, the IT team must be able to connect to VM0 by using JIT VM access.
