Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| How can you secure network traffic in Azure? | You can secure traffic by using Network Security Groups along with Azure Firewall and application security groups |
| How do VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute differ? | VPN Gateway uses the public Internet for connectivity while ExpressRoute offers a private connection with greater reliability and lower latency |
| What are hybrid connectivity scenarios in Azure? | They integrate on-premises networks with Azure by using methods such as VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute for seamless communication |
| What are Network Security Groups used for? | They control inbound and outbound network traffic to Azure resources by applying security rules |
| What is a subnet in Azure networking? | It is a range of IP addresses within a virtual network used to segment traffic and improve security |
| What is an Azure Virtual Network? | It is the fundamental building block that enables Azure resources to securely communicate within a network and with on-premises systems |
| What is an Azure VPN Gateway? | It connects on-premises networks to Azure through encrypted tunnels over the public Internet |
| What is Azure ExpressRoute? | It provides a dedicated private connection between an on-premises infrastructure and Azure datacenters |
