Exam AZ-104 topic 5 question 99 discussion

A public IP address can be associated with resources that require direct internet access, such as virtual machines (via NICs) and load balancers. However, a VPN gateway typically uses its own dedicated public IP address for establishing secure connections between on-premises networks and Azure. VPN1: Uses its own public IP address for secure connections and does not typically share or use a public IP address assigned to other resources. Therefore, the correct resources to associate with IP1 are LB1 and NIC1.

A public IP is associated via the NIC, not directly to the VM.

why not D? When you create a VPN gateway, you need to associate a public IP address with it. This is done during the configuration of the gateway itself, typically as part of the gateway creation process. The public IP is not managed as a standalone public IP resource after it is associated; it's an integral part of the VPN gateway configuration and is not directly visible as an independent resource in the same way you would see a public IP associated with a NIC or Load Balancer.

The correct answer should be B & D. Reason behind: LB1 & VPN1 required a public IP address during the creation of resouces. For NIC1, the creation of NIC, don't offer an option to create public IP instead it is asking for private ip with manual / automatic assignment. The public IP association with NIC, only have happen when you have attached the NIC to VM
