You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that network traffic is routed over the Azure backbone network for the following scenarios:
• Traffic from SQLMIT to storage1
• Traffic from domain joined servers on VNet2 to storage
The solution must minimize costs.
What should you configure for each scenario? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Traffic from SQLMI1 to storage1 Answer: A Managed Instance link Explanation: SQL Managed Instance can communicate with an Azure Storage account over the Azure backbone using Managed Instance link, which provides a secure and optimized connection. Traffic from domain-joined servers on VNet2 to storage1 Answer: A private endpoint Explanation: Private endpoints enable resources in VNet2 (including domain-joined servers) to securely connect to the storage account over the Azure backbone, minimizing latency and egress costs.
Managed Instance link is specifically designed for replicating data between SQL Server and Azure SQL Managed Instance. It doesn't facilitate direct communication between an Azure SQL Managed Instance and a storage account.
Private endpoint Private endpoint I don't really see the need to use a service endpoint policy for the second one here, unless the key word here is "Minimize the costs"??
actually I have dug a bit more and change my mind, the first one seems to point me straight to the service endpoint for SQL, to me it makes sense https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/public-endpoint-configure?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-portal 1) service endpoint policy for SQL 2) Private endpoint
ummhh nope, dug again and I don't like that public endpoint... I stick with the first answer I had, 2 private endpoints
ummhh nope, dug again and I don't like that public endpoint... I stick with the first answer I had, 2 private endpoints
Traffic from SQLMI1 to storage1: A service endpoint policy Traffic from domain-joined servers on VNet2 to storage1: A service endpoint policy For cost minimization, service endpoints are preferred since they provide a more straightforward, less expensive method for routing traffic over the Azure backbone network.
I was wrong!!! Given answer is correct
Final answer Service endpoint Private endpoint
Final answer Service endpoint Private endpoint
