Difficulty: EasyConfigure Public and Private IP Addresses

You need to create a public IP address to be used by a Standard Load Balancer. Which combination of SKU and allocation method must be selected for the new public IP address?

  1. Standard SKU and Static allocationAnswer
  2. B
    Basic SKU and Static allocation
  3. C
    Standard SKU and Dynamic allocation
  4. D
    Basic SKU and Dynamic allocation

Answer

Standard SKU and Static allocation
Standard Load Balancers require a Standard SKU public IP address, and Standard SKU public IP addresses only support the static allocation method.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the required SKU for the public IP address based on the resource type.
Since the resource is a Standard Load Balancer, the public IP address must also use the Standard SKU.
Azure enforces SKU alignment between load balancers and their frontend public IP addresses.
2
Select the correct allocation method for the chosen SKU.
Standard SKU public IP addresses only support static allocation.
Dynamic allocation is not an available option for Standard SKU public IP resources.

Key Concept

Standard Load Balancers require Standard SKU public IP addresses, which are static by design.
