SC-200 Certification Practice Question #90

Question

You have the resources shown in the following table.

You have an Azure subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

You need to enable Microsoft Defender for Servers on each resource.

Which resources will require the installation of the Azure Arc agent?

Accepted Answer

Defender for Servers protects Azure VMs natively, but any machine outside Azure must be projected into Azure Resource Manager via the Azure Arc Connected Machine agent before it can be onboarded. From the resource table, Server1 (on-premises), Server2 (AWS Linux VM), and Server4 (on-premises) are all non-Azure and therefore require the Azure Arc agent, while Server3 is an Azure VM and does not. This gives Server1, Server2, and Server4 = option C. The Suggested Answer, the Most Voted answer (16), and the top comment (15 👍) all agree, and MS Learn explicitly states non-Azure and on-premises machines are onboarded as Azure Arc-enabled VMs, so confidence is high.
