AZ-700 Exam Dumps - Designing and Implementing Microsoft Azure Networking Solutions

VNet 1 will get the default from BGP and propagate it to VNET 2 and 3

To ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account and that access occurs over the Azure backbone network, you can use Azure Private Endpoints. This method secures the connection by assigning a private IP address from your virtual network to the storage account, ensuring that traffic does not traverse the public internet.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create a Private Endpoint for the Storage Account

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Storage accounts” and select the slcnage42150372 storage account.

In the storage account blade, select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.

Under “Private endpoint connections”, click on “Add private endpoint”.

Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a name for the private endpoint (e.g., PrivateEndpoint-VNET1).

Region: Select the same region as your virtual network (VNET1).

Click on “Next: Resource”.

Step 2: Configure the Resource

Select “Target sub-resource”: Choose the storage service you want to connect to (e.g., blob, file, queue, table).

Click on “Next: Virtual network”.

Step 3: Select the Virtual Network and Subnet

Select the virtual network: Choose VNET1.

Select the subnet: Choose the appropriate subnet within VNET1.

Click on “Next: Configuration”.

Step 4: Configure DNS Integration (Optional)

Configure DNS settings if needed to ensure proper name resolution within your virtual network.

Click on “Next: Tags”, add any tags if necessary, and then click on “Review + create”.

Review your settings and click on “Create”.

Step 5: Restrict Public Network Access

Navigate back to the storage account.

Select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.

Under “Firewalls and virtual networks”, select “Selected networks”.

Ensure that only VNET1 is listed under the virtual networks section.

Click on “Save”.

Explanation

Private Endpoints: These provide secure connectivity to Azure services by assigning a private IP address from your VNet to the service, ensuring that traffic stays within the Azure backbone network12.

Firewall and Virtual Networks: Configuring the storage account to allow access only from selected networks (VNET1) ensures that no other network can access the storage account3.

By following these steps, you can ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account, and that all access occurs over the secure Azure backbone network.

Here are the steps and explanations for configuring VNET1 to log all events and metrics and query them by using KQL:

To enable logging for VNET1, you need to create a diagnostic setting that collects the platform metrics and logs from the virtual network and routes them to one or more destinations. You can choose to send the data to a Log Analytics workspace, a storage account, an event hub, or a partner solution1.

To create a diagnostic setting, you need to go to the Azure portal and select your virtual network. Then select Diagnostic settings under Monitoring and select + Add diagnostic setting1.

On the Add diagnostic setting page, enter or select the following information:

Diagnostic setting name: Type a unique name for your diagnostic setting.

Destination details: Select the destination where you want to send the data. For example, you can select Send to Log Analytics workspace and choose your workspace from the list.

Log: Select the categories of logs that you want to collect. For VNET1, you can select NetworkSecurityGroupEvent and NetworkSecurityGroupRuleCounter as the log categories2.

Metric: Select AllMetrics to collect all the platform metrics for VNET12.

Select Save to create your diagnostic setting1.

To query the events and metrics from the Azure portal by using KQL, you need to go to the Log Analytics workspace that you selected as the destination. Then select Logs under General and enter your KQL query in the query editor3.

For example, you can use the following KQL query to get the top 10 network security group events for VNET1 in the last 24 hours:

NetworkSecurityGroupEvent

| where TimeGenerated > ago(24h)

| where ResourceId contains "VNET1"

| summarize count() by EventID

| top 10 by count_

Copy

Select Run to execute your query and view the results in a table or a chart3.

Complete the remaining configuration steps and click on “Review + create” and then “Create”.

Explanation

Virtual Network: A virtual network in Azure allows you to create a logically isolated network that can host your Azure resources.

Address Space: The address space 10.5.1.0/24 ensures that the VMs are in a specific network segment.

Subnet: Subnets allow you to segment the virtual network into smaller, manageable sections.

Region: Deploying the virtual network and VMs in the France Central region ensures that the resources are physically located in that region.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Azure virtual machines in the France Central region are deployed within the specified IP address range of 10.5.1.0/24.

To create an Azure Firewall instance, you need to go to the Azure portal and select Create a resource. Type firewall in the search box and press Enter. Select Firewall and then select Create1.

To assign an IP address from the address range of 10.1.255.0/24 to the firewall, you need to select a public IP address that belongs to that range. You can either create a new public IP address or use an existing one1.

To use a new Premium firewall policy named FW-policy1, you need to select Premium as the Firewall tier and create a new policy with the name FW-policy12. A Premium firewall policy allows you to configure advanced features such as TLS Inspection, IDPS, URL Filtering, and Web Categories3.

To route traffic directly to the internet, you need to enable SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) for the firewall. SNAT allows the firewall to use its public IP address as the source address for outbound traffic4.
