D and E. You can't create a LB without FrontEnd IP, so if we have a LB we also have a FrontEnd IP already. You can however create a LB without a backend pool and without any rules. If you want to add a rule to your LB later you have to create a backend pool and health probe first. Those are mandatory properties for a rule. I also tested it in my lab to be sure.

Answer ; A and D Select; Frontend IP When done with configuration steps. Select Next: Backend pools https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/quickstart-load-balancer-standard-public-portal

D and E

whenever you create a LB, At least 1 frontend IP needs to be added for creating a Load Balancer its a error/warning so you cannot skip it unlike the rest parameters. frontend ip & backend pool

The question is: Which two additional load balancer resources should you create before you can create the load balancing rule? The procedure is: Frontend IP configuration Backend pool Health probes Load Balancer rules The the 2 additional resources before the rules are: Backend pool Health probes

A and D from as per my understanding. It's under the LB creation process rather than the LB is already there. Based on that, the key word is "before" you can create the load balancing rule.

A and D based on my test. Just had a try. Before creating Inbound rules, there're 3 preceding steps: (1)Basics -> (2)Frontend IP configuration -> (3)Backend pools And on step (4)Inbound rules -> Add load balancing rule, it requests mandatory resources which are "Frontend IP address" and "Backend pool". Regarding "Health probe", you can create a new one on this step itself. This means not BEFORE you can create the load balancing rule but in parallel.

Azure Load Balancer is NOT created. You are creating that, so the answer is AD.

To create a load balancing rule to load balance HTTPS traffic between VM1 and VM2 using an Azure load balancer, you would need to create the following two additional load balancer resources: A. A frontend IP address: This IP address is used to receive incoming traffic and distribute it to the backend resources. It acts as the entry point for the load balancer. D. A backend pool: This defines the backend resources (in this case, VM1 and VM2) that will receive the load-balanced traffic. The load balancer distributes incoming traffic across the resources in the backend pool based on the configured load balancing rule. Therefore, options A and D are the correct answers.

DE is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/components

I don't think that options A, B, and C are Load Balancer resources. Am I right?

this makes sense, you would need a frontendip but the LB has been created so to have a rule for the LB you would need the backend pool and health probe

Correct Answer: DE

D & E. I have just double checked this in the portal, mandatory fields are Health Probe and Backend Pool.

DE seems correct - I might be wrong but if you have an LB, it follows that you already have a Frontend IP? So you need a Backend Pool and Health Probe Experts, please jump in and correct me!

Should be A,B Get an Frontend IP Get an Backend Pool Then we will be able to set up load balancing rules
