Overview -

Proseware, Inc. is a financial services company that has a main office in New York City and a branch office in San Francisco.

Existing Environment. Hybrid Environment

Proseware has an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named corp.proseware.com that syncs with a Microsoft Entra tenant named proseware.com.

Proseware has an Azure subscription that is linked to proseware.com.

Proseware has an internal certification authority (CA).

Existing Environment. Network Infrastructure

The offices contain the resources shown in the following table.



NYCNet connects to Azure by using an ExpressRoute circuit.

SFONet connects to Azure by using a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN.

Existing Environment. Azure Resources

The Azure subscription contains the virtual networks and subnets shown in the following table.



The subscription contains four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4. VM1 and VM2 host an app named App1.

VM3 and VM4 host a web app named App2 that is accessed by using a FQDN of app2.proseware.com. Users access app2.proseware.com by using HTTP or HTTPS.

VM1, VM2, and VM4 are connected to SpokeVNet.

The subscription contains Application Gateway resources shown in the following table.



The subscription contains an Azure Front Door Standard profile named FD1. FD1 contains a single origin group that targets APPGW1 by using the default endpoint name.

HubVNet connects to NYCNet by using an ExpressRoute gateway named ERGW1.

Planned Changes and Requirements. Planned Changes

Proseware plans to implement the following changes:

•Deploy an Azure Private DNS Resolver named PRDNS1 to HubVNet and link PRDNS1 to SpokeVNet.
•Create a DNS forwarding ruleset named DNSRS1 and associate DNSRS1 with PRDNS1.
•Deploy Azure Virtual Network Manager and implement the following rules:
- Allow inbound connections on TCP port 3389 from the on-premises networks to SUBNET-JUMPHOSTS.
- Block inbound connections on TCP port 80 from the internet to SpokeVNet.
•Ensure that Azure Virtual Network Manager rules take precedence over conflicting NSG rules.
•Deploy two network virtual appliances (NVAs) named NVA1 and NVA2 to HubVNet.
•Deploy a gateway load balancer named LBGW1 to HubVNet.
•Configure LBGW1 to inspect traffic on TCP ports 443, 1433, and 1434 from LBS1 by using NVA1 and NVA2.
•Ensure that all the traffic to App2 is processed by using FD1.

Planned Changes and Requirements. Connectivity requirements

Proseware identifies the following connectivity requirements:

•Minimize the complexity of the Azure Virtual Network Manager deployment.
•Route traffic between NYCNet and SFONet via the ExpressRoute circuit and the S2S VPN.
•Ensure that remote users on Windows 11 devices can connect to HubVNet by using a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN and their proseware.com credentials.

Planned Changes and Requirements. Security requirements

Proseware identifies the following security requirements:

•Whenever possible, use the internal CA.
•Ensure that all connections routed via APPGW1 use end-to-end encryption.
•Ensure that user connections to Azure-hosted apps use end-to-end encryption.
•Ensure that all inbound internet traffic to app2.proseware.com is routed via FD1.
•Prevent devices that connect to NYCNet from accessing Azure services that use private endpoints.
•Enable the virtual machines that connect to HubVNet and SpokeVNet to access Azure services that use private endpoints.

Planned Changes and Requirements. General requirements

Proseware identifies the following general requirements:

•Minimize the IP address space required to deploy platform-managed resources to the virtual networks.
•From SpokeVNet, resolve name resolution requests for the azure.proseware.com namespace and the corp.proseware.com namespace by using PRDNS1.
•Whenever possible, minimize administrative effort.


You need to configure FD1 to provide user access to app2.proseware.com. The solution must meet the security requirements and the general requirements.

What should you do first?

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1. VNet1 contains a subnet named Subnet1.

You deploy an instance of Azure Application Gateway v2 named AppGw1 to Subnet1. You create a network security group (NSG) named NSG1 and link NSG1 to Subnet1.

You need to ensure that AppGw1 will only load balance traffic that originates from VNet1. The solution must minimize the impact on the functionality of AppGw1.

What should you add to NSG1?

You plan to implement an Azure virtual network that will contain 10 virtual subnets. The subnets will use IPv6 addresses. Each subnet will host up to 200 load-balanced virtual machines.

You need to recommend a load balancing solution for the virtual network. The solution must meet the following requirements:

•The virtual machines and the load balancer must be accessible only from the virtual network.
•Costs must be minimized.

What should you include in the recommendation?
