Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 27
You manage on-premises networks and Azure virtual networks.
You need a secure private connection between the on-premises networks and the Azure virtual networks. The connection must offer a redundant pair of cross connections to provide high availability.
What should you recommend?
Answer options
- A. ExpressRoute
- B. Azure Load Balancer
- C. virtual network peering
- D. VPN Gateway
Correct answer: A
Explanation
ExpressRoute is the best choice for establishing a secure and high-availability private connection between on-premises networks and Azure virtual networks, as it provides dedicated connections with redundancy. Azure Load Balancer is used for distributing traffic, virtual network peering connects virtual networks but does not provide a secure on-premises connection, and VPN Gateway offers secure connectivity but may not guarantee the same level of redundancy as ExpressRoute.
