AZ-305 Question #50: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Hotspot Question Your company develops a web service that is deployed to an Azure virtual machine named VM1. The web service allows an API to access real-time data from VM1. The current virtual machine deployment is shown in the Deployment exhibit. The chief technology officer (CTO) sends you the following email message: "Our developers have deployed the web service to a virtual machine named VM1. Testing has shown that the API is accessible from VM1 and VM2. Our partners must be able to connect to the API over the Internet. Partners will use this data in applications that they develop." You deploy an Azure API Management (APIM) service. The relevant API Management configuration is shown in the API exhibit. For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

Azure API Management (APIM) acts as a gateway that exposes backend APIs to external consumers over the internet, making the API accessible to partners without requiring them to have direct network access to VM1. The APIM instance, being deployed within the same virtual network or with network connectivity to VM1, can reach the backend web service running on VM1 to retrieve real-time data. A VPN gateway is NOT required for partner access because APIM provides a public-facing HTTPS endpoint that partners can call directly over the internet - VPN would only be needed if partners required direct private network access to the VM itself.
