AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #255

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

You create a public IP address named IP1.

Which two resources can you associate to IP1? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

In Azure, a standalone Public IP address resource (like IP1) can be associated with a resource to provide inbound/outbound connectivity. When selecting the "Associate" option on a Public IP resource:
1. You can associate it to a **Network Interface (NIC)** (NIC1) to bind it to a Virtual Machine (VM1 cannot be associated directly; it is done via its NIC).
2. You can associate it to a **Load Balancer (LB1)** to serve as a frontend IP configuration.
While a Virtual Network Gateway (VPN1) uses a public IP, its IP is configured and associated during the deployment of the gateway resource itself, rather than through the association flow of a standalone Public IP resource. Therefore, the two correct resources to select are **LB1** and **NIC1**.
