Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 94

Your company needs to ensure that an Azure virtual machine can connect to Azure SQL databases without exposing the databases to the internet.
What should you use?

Answer options

• A. Azure Application Gateway
• B. Azure Traffic Manager
• C. Azure DNS
• D. Azure Private Link

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Azure Private Link allows for private connectivity to Azure services, ensuring that the Azure SQL databases are not exposed to the internet, thus maintaining security. The other options, such as Azure Application Gateway and Azure Traffic Manager, serve different purposes like load balancing and traffic routing but do not provide the same level of security for direct access to Azure SQL databases.
