AZ-900 : Microsoft Azure Fundamentals : Part 08

 

1. You have an Azure environment that contains 10 virtual networks and 100 virtual machines.

   You need to limit the amount of inbound traffic to all the Azure virtual networks.

   What should you create?

   • one application security group (ASG)
   • 10 virtual network gateways
   • 10 Azure ExpressRoute circuits
   • one Azure firewall 

   Explanation:

   You can restrict traffic to multiple virtual networks with a single Azure firewall.

   Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It’s a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability.
   You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and virtual networks. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual network resources allowing outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network.

2. This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.

   Azure Key Vault is used to store secrets for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) user accounts.

   Instructions: Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select “No change is needed”. If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

   • No change is needed
   • Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) administrative accounts
   • Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
   • server applications
   Explanation:
   Key Vault is designed to store configuration secrets for server apps. It’s not intended for storing data belonging to your app’s users, and it shouldn’t be used in the client-side part of an app.
   

3. Your company plans to automate the deployment of servers to Azure.

   Your manager is concerned that you may expose administrative credentials during the deployment.

   You need to recommend an Azure solution that encrypts the administrative credentials during the deployment.

   What should you include in the recommendation?

   • Azure Key Vault 
   • Azure Information Protection
   • Azure Security Center
   • Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
   Explanation:

   Azure Key Vault is a secure store for storage various types of sensitive information. In this question, we would store the administrative credentials in the Key Vault. With this solution, there is no need to store the administrative credentials as plain text in the deployment scripts.

   All information stored in the Key Vault is encrypted.

   Azure Key Vault can be used to Securely store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, API keys, and other secrets.
   Secrets and keys are safeguarded by Azure, using industry-standard algorithms, key lengths, and hardware security modules (HSMs). The HSMs used are Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 validated.

   Access to a key vault requires proper authentication and authorization before a caller (user or application) can get access. Authentication establishes the identity of the caller, while authorization determines the operations that they are allowed to perform.

4. You plan to deploy several Azure virtual machines.

   You need to control the ports that devices on the Internet can use to access the virtual machines.

   What should you use?

   • a network security group (NSG)
   • an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) role
   • an Azure Active Directory group
   • an Azure key vault
   Explanation:

   A network security group works like a firewall. You can attach a network security group to a virtual network and/or individual subnets within the virtual network. You can also attach a network security group to a network interface assigned to a virtual machine. You can use multiple network security groups within a virtual network to restrict traffic between resources such as virtual machines and subnets.

   You can filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network with a network security group. A network security group contains security rules that allow or deny inbound network traffic to, or outbound network traffic from, several types of Azure resources.

    AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Part 08 Q13 078 Answer

    Explanation:

    You would use the Azure Activity Log, not Access Control to view which user turned off a specific virtual machine during the last 14 days.

    Activity logs are kept for 90 days. You can query for any range of dates, as long as the starting date isn’t more than 90 days in the past.

    In this question, we would create a filter to display shutdown operations on the virtual machine in the last 14 days.

    AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Part 08 Q19 081 Answer

    Explanation:

    Box 1: No
    Azure firewall does not encrypt network traffic. It is used to block or allow traffic based on source/destination IP address, source/destination ports and protocol.

    Box 2: No
    A network security group does not encrypt network traffic. It works in a similar way to a firewall in that it is used to block or allow traffic based on source/destination IP address, source/destination ports and protocol.

    Box 3: No
    The question is rather vague as it would depend on the configuration of the host on the Internet. Windows Server does come with a VPN client and it also supports other encryption methods such IPSec encryption or SSL/TLS so it could encrypt the traffic if the Internet host was configured to require or accept the encryption. However, the VM could not encrypt the traffic to an Internet host that is not configured to require the encryption.
