You are deploying a public Azure Load Balancer named LB1 to distribute HTTPS traffic to an application hosted on two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2. VM1 is located in Availability Zone 1, and VM2 is located in Availability Zone 2.
You need to configure LB1 to meet these requirements.
Which two of the following configuration steps should you perform? (Select two.)
- Deploy LB1 using the Standard SKU and configure a zone-redundant frontend public IP address.Answer
- Create a health probe that monitors TCP port 443 or HTTP/HTTPS status on the backend virtual machines.Answer
- CDeploy LB1 using the Basic SKU and associate it with a zone-redundant public IP address.
- DCreate a health probe using TCP port 0 to automatically detect and monitor all active TCP ports on the backend virtual machines.
Answer
Deploy the Load Balancer using the Standard SKU with a zone-redundant frontend public IP address, and configure a health probe to monitor TCP port 443 or HTTP/HTTPS status.
Deploying a Standard SKU load balancer with a zone-redundant frontend public IP address is required because the backend virtual machines reside in different Availability Zones. Additionally, configuring a health probe to monitor TCP port 443 or HTTP/HTTPS status is necessary to detect the availability of the application and ensure traffic is only sent to healthy backend instances.
