SC-200 Certification Practice Question #93

Question

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

You have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) subscription. The subscription contains multiple virtual machines that run Windows Server.

You need to enable Microsoft Defender for Servers on the virtual machines.

Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

To protect AWS EC2 Windows servers with Defender for Servers you must first connect the AWS environment via the **AWS connector** (Environment settings > Add environment > Amazon Web Services), then enable **auto-provisioning**, which deploys Azure Arc plus the agents/extensions (Defender for Endpoint, vulnerability assessment) onto the EC2 instances. MS Learn's AWS onboarding and Defender for Servers planning docs back both steps, and the community vote is a strong, unanimous CE (21 votes) with two highly-voted comments. The Suggested Answer only lists E, but since each correct answer is worth one point and a connector is mandatory for any AWS onboarding, the AWS connector (C) is the necessary second selection — MS Learn resolves this in favor of CE. Confidence is held at 88 because the official Suggested Answer is only partial.
