Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table. You plan to deploy an Azure Private Link service named APL1. Which resource should you reference during the creation of APL1.

Exhibits

Options

ALB1
BSQL1
CVMSS1
DVM1

Why each option

When deploying an Azure Private Link service, you must reference the frontend IP configuration of a Standard Azure Load Balancer.

ALB1

BSQL1

SQL1 is an Azure-managed PaaS service that can *consume* Private Link by having a private endpoint created for it, but it is not a resource *you deploy and expose* using a Private Link service.

CVMSS1

VMSS1 (Virtual Machine Scale Set) runs virtual machines, but a Private Link service directly references a Standard Load Balancer's frontend IP, not the VMSS itself.

DVM1

VM1 (Virtual Machine) hosts applications, but a Private Link service directly references a Standard Load Balancer's frontend IP, which typically sits in front of the VM, not the individual VM itself.
