Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for Contoso Ltd. One of your virtual machines (VM1) hosted in Azure cannot access external websites on the internet. VM1 is connected to a VNet (VNet1) and resides in a subnet (Subnet1). Other virtual machines in the same subnet can access the internet without issues. You need to determine why VM1 cannot reach external resources. Which of the following should you check first to resolve the issue?
Verify the effective network security group (NSG) rules applied to VM1's network interface
Check the routing table for Subnet1 to confirm that a user-defined route is not blocking internet access
Ensure that the virtual network gateway is configured for VNet1
Confirm that VM1 has a valid public IP address assigned
