Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 50

You have an Azure subscription that contains two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2.
You create an Azure load balancer.
You plan to create a load balancing rule that will load balance HTTPS traffic between VM1 and VM2.
Which two additional load balancer resources should you create before you can create the load balancing rule? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. a frontend IP address
• B. an inbound NAT rule
• C. a virtual network
• D. a backend pool
• E. a health probe

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

To create a load balancing rule for VM1 and VM2, you need a backend pool (D) to define the VMs that will receive the traffic and a health probe (E) to monitor the health of the VMs. The frontend IP address (A), inbound NAT rule (B), and virtual network (C) are not required for establishing the load balancing rule itself.
