New Release AZ-700 Microsoft Certified: Azure Network Engineer Associate Questions

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that all hosts deployed to subnet3-2 connect to the internet by using the same static public IP address:

To use the same static public IP address for multiple hosts, you need to create a NAT gateway and associate it with subnet3-2. A NAT gateway is a resource that performs network address translation (NAT) for outbound traffic from a subnet1. It allows you to use a single public IP address for multiple private IP addresses2.

To create a NAT gateway, you need to go to the Azure portal and select Create a resource. Search for NAT gateway, select NAT gateway, then select Create3.

On the Create a NAT gateway page, enter or select the following information and accept the defaults for the remaining settings:

Subscription: Select your subscription name

Resource group: Select your resource group

Name: Type a unique name for your NAT gateway

Region: Select the same region as your virtual network

Public IP address: Select Create new and type a name for your public IP address. Select Standard as the SKU and Static as the assignment method4.

Select Review + create and then select Create to create your NAT gateway3.

To associate the NAT gateway with subnet3-2, you need to go to the Virtual networks service in the Azure portal and select your virtual network.

On the Virtual network page, select Subnets under Settings, and then select subnet3-2 from the list.

On the Edit subnet page, under NAT gateway, select your NAT gateway from the drop-down list. Then select Save.

To ensure that the owner of VNET3 receives an alert whenever an administrative operation is performed on the virtual network, you can set up an Activity Log Alert in Azure Monitor. Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create an Activity Log Alert

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Monitor” and select it.

In the Monitor blade, select “Alerts” from the left-hand menu.

Click on “New alert rule”.

Step 2: Configure the Alert Rule

Select the Scope:

Click on “Select resource”.

Choose “Virtual Network” as the resource type.

Select VNET3 from the list of virtual networks.

Define the Condition:

Click on “Add condition”.

In the “Signal type” dropdown, select “Activity Log”.

Choose “Administrative” as the category.

Select the specific operations you want to monitor (e.g., Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/write for any write operations on the virtual network).

Set the Alert Details:

Enter a name for the alert rule (e.g., VNET3 Admin Operations Alert).

Provide a description if needed.

Configure the Action Group:

Click on “Add action group”.

Enter a name for the action group.

Select the action type (e.g., Email/SMS/Push/Voice).

Enter the details of the recipient (e.g., the email address of the owner of VNET3).

Review and Create:

Review the alert rule settings.

Click on “Create alert rule”.

Explanation

Activity Log Alerts: These alerts notify you when specific operations are performed on your Azure resources. By setting up an alert for administrative operations, you ensure that any changes to VNET3 are promptly reported.

Action Groups: These define the actions to take when an alert is triggered. You can configure notifications via email, SMS, or other methods to ensure the owner of VNET3 is informed immediately.

Administrative Operations: Monitoring these operations helps in tracking changes and maintaining the security and integrity of your virtual network.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the owner of VNET3 receives timely alerts for any administrative operations performed on the virtual network, helping to maintain oversight and security.

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.
