AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #251

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2.
You create an Azure load balancer.
You plan to create a load balancing rule that will load balance HTTPS traffic between VM1 and VM2.
Which two additional load balancer resources should you create before you can create the load balancing rule? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

When you create an Azure Load Balancer, configuring a frontend IP address (A) is a mandatory step in the initial creation wizard, meaning the load balancer already has a frontend IP once created. To subsequently configure a load balancing rule to distribute HTTPS traffic, you must specify a backend pool (which contains VM1 and VM2) and a health probe (to monitor the status of VM1 and VM2). Both the backend pool (D) and the health probe (E) must be created as separate resources before they can be assigned within the load balancing rule configuration.
