Exam AZ-700 topic 5 question 27 discussion

B. Increase the number of NAT IP addresses assigned to PL1. Since the question ask for outbound traffic: Each NAT IP provides 64k TCP connections (64k ports) per VM behind the Standard Load Balancer. In order to scale and add more connections, you can either add new NAT IPs or add more VMs behind the Standard Load Balancer. Doing so will scale the port availability and allow for more connections. Connections will be distributed across NAT IPs and VMs behind the Standard Load Balancer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/private-link-faq#what-is-the-nat--network-address-translation--ip-configuration-used-in-private-link-service--how-can-i-scale-in-terms-of-available-ports-and-connections--

You need to Increase the number of NAT IP addresses assigned to PL1 to support a higher volume of outbound connections.

Oh yeah baby, so correct: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/private-link-service-overview Private Link service can have more than one NAT IP configurations linked to it. Choosing more than one NAT IP configurations can help service providers to scale. Today, service providers can assign up to eight NAT IP addresses per Private Link service. With each NAT IP address, you can assign more ports for your TCP connections and thus scale out.
