Your team is setting up a high-traffic web platform in the North Europe region. You deploy a Standard Load Balancer named `lb-retail-prod`. The backend pool will consist of two virtual machines, `vm-app-01` and `vm-app-02`, both running in the same virtual network subnet.
You need to configure the public-facing frontend IP configuration and the backend pool for `lb-retail-prod`.
Which two configurations must you apply? (Select two.)
- Configure a frontend IP address using a Standard SKU Public IP address with its allocation method set to Static.Answer
- Add the network interfaces of both virtual machines to the backend pool of the load balancer.Answer
- CConfigure a frontend IP address using a Basic SKU Public IP address with its allocation method set to Dynamic.
- DConfigure a frontend IP address using a Standard SKU Public IP address with its allocation method set to Dynamic.
Answer
Configure a frontend IP address using a Standard SKU Public IP address with its allocation method set to Static, and add the network interfaces of both virtual machines to the backend pool of the load balancer.
The Standard Load Balancer requires frontend Public IP addresses of the Standard SKU. Standard SKU Public IPs only support Static allocation. Additionally, the network interfaces of the backend virtual machines must be added to the backend pool of the load balancer to receive traffic.
