Creating a dynamic group that automatically includes users based on their department attribute and assigning licenses to that group automates the license assignment process. This ensures that when users join or leave the Sales department, the licenses are assigned or removed automatically. Manually assigning licenses is inefficient and doesn't scale well. Assigning licenses to a static group would require manual updates to group membership. Using Privileged Identity Management is unrelated to license assignments; it's used for managing and controlling privileged access.

You should deploy an Azure Bastion host in the virtual network. Azure Bastion provides secure remote connectivity to all VMs within the virtual network over SSL using the Azure portal. It allows administrators to access the VMs through the Azure portal without exposing the VMs to the public internet or requiring a VPN connection. This ensures that your VMs remain private while still allowing necessary remote management.

Option A is incorrect because setting up a site-to-site connection involves configuring VPN connections, which adds complexity and requires additional infrastructure. Option C is not recommended because assigning public addresses to the VMs exposes them to the internet, increasing security risks, even if Network Security Groups (NSGs) are used to restrict access. Option D is incorrect because Azure Firewall is designed for filtering and controlling network traffic, but it does not facilitate remote connectivity solutions for managing VMs.

Utilizing group-based licensing is the most efficient method for managing licenses at scale in Azure AD. When you assign licenses to a group, all members of that group automatically receive the licenses, and they are removed when users leave the group. This streamlines the process of onboarding and offboarding employees without the need for manual intervention each time. Assigning licenses to individual users manually is not practical for a large number of employees and increases administrative overhead. Administrative units are used to delegate administrative permissions and scope management tasks but do not facilitate automatic license assignment. Enabling self-service licensing allows users to request licenses themselves; however, this approach may not align with organizational policies requiring control over license distribution and does not automate license revocation when users leave.

You should verify if a Network Security Group (NSG) associated with the network interface or subnet is blocking inbound traffic on the required ports. NSGs act as virtual firewalls, and if rules deny inbound traffic to the web server ports, external access will fail. Checking the NSG rules helps identify if any recent changes caused the connectivity issue. The other options are less likely to be the immediate cause: a change in the private IP address does not impact access via the public IP address; an outbound internet connection is not necessary for inbound access; and unless a Load Balancer is in use, its configuration would not affect single virtual machine connectivity.

Alex cannot assign roles at the 'Operations' subscription level because his 'User Access Administrator' role assignment is scoped to the 'Networking' resource group. Role assignments are only effective within their assigned scope and any child resources. Since Alex's role is assigned at the resource group level, he can only assign roles within the 'Networking' resource group, not at the subscription level. To assign roles at the subscription level, he would need the 'User Access Administrator' role assigned at the subscription scope.

Option A is incorrect because the 'User Access Administrator' role does grant permissions to assign roles. Option C is incorrect because, while the 'Owner' role includes permissions to assign roles, Alex can also assign roles with the 'User Access Administrator' role if assigned at the correct scope. Option D is incorrect because there's no indication of a deny assignment; the issue is due to the scope of Alex's role assignment.

Administrative Units in Azure Entra ID allow you to delegate administrative permissions to specific subsets of users or groups within your organization, such as by department or region. By using Administrative Units, you can assign administrators to manage only the users and groups within a particular Administrative Unit, without giving them broader access to other resources in Azure Entra ID. Other features like Azure Entra ID Privileged Identity Management, Management Groups, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) do not provide the necessary scope limitation at the department level within Azure AD user and group management.

Administrative units in Azure Entra ID allow you to delegate administrative permissions to specific subsets of users. By creating administrative units for each department and assigning roles scoped to those units, you can ensure that administrators have permissions only over users in their department. Azure AD Privileged Identity Management helps manage privileged roles but does not scope permissions to specific subsets of users. Conditional Access Policies control access conditions but do not delegate administrative permissions. Security groups are useful for grouping users but do not restrict administrative scope for role assignments.

To have full control over the encryption keys for data at rest in Azure Storage, the administrator should configure the storage account to use customer-managed keys stored in Azure Key Vault. This approach allows the organization to manage key creation, rotation, and revocation, providing greater control over access to their data. Enabling Azure Disk Encryption is applicable to virtual machine disks, not storage accounts. Implementing client-side encryption requires additional application code and management overhead, and it does not leverage Azure's server-side encryption capabilities. Enabling server-side encryption with Microsoft-managed keys uses the default keys managed by Azure, which does not satisfy the requirement for the organization to use their own keys.

The virtual machine size determines the hardware specifications of the VM, including the number of CPUs, memory, and storage capacity. When creating a VM, selecting the appropriate size ensures it meets the performance requirements.

Shared Access Signatures (SAS) enable you to grant limited-time access to your storage resources without exposing your storage account key. SAS tokens can be configured with specific permissions and timeframes. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication provides identity-based access control but does not create temporary access tokens for storage. Secure Transfer Required enforces the use of HTTPS for data transfers but does not manage access. Network Security Groups control network traffic but do not grant access to storage resources.

The Standard tier supports custom domains, SSL certificates, and automatic scaling, making it suitable for applications that need to handle variable traffic securely. It provides the necessary features at a cost-effective price point. The Basic tier supports custom domains and SSL certificates but does not support automatic scaling. The Premium tier includes all required features but at a higher cost, which is unnecessary given the need to optimize costs. The Shared tier does not support SSL certificates, making it unsuitable for securing traffic.

When creating a backup vault for Azure resources, it's important to place the vault in the same region as the resources being backed up. This minimizes latency and ensures seamless integration between the backup service and the resources. Selecting a different region, the default subscription region, or any region without considering the resource location can lead to increased latency and potential issues with backup and restore operations.

Azure Backup's File Recovery feature allows administrators to browse and recover individual files and folders from an Azure VM backup without restoring the entire VM. This is useful when only specific files need to be restored. The other options either do not support file-level recovery or are used for different purposes, such as whole VM snapshots or disaster recovery.

This statement is false. In Azure Entra ID, guest users do not have the same default permissions as regular members. By default, guest users have restricted access and limited permissions to directory resources. They can access only the resources explicitly shared with them. Regular members, on the other hand, have broader access within the directory. Understanding this difference is important for administrators to manage access and maintain security.

This statement is false. Azure Bastion allows administrators to securely access virtual machines through the Azure portal using a web browser without the need to install any additional client software. It provides RDP and SSH connectivity directly from the portal over SSL/TLS.
