You are deploying a Virtual Machine Scale Set that will be used for a backend API. The API must only be accessible from a specific application server in a different virtual network. You need to ensure that the scale set instances are not reachable from the internet. What should you configure?

A public IP address on the scale set and a load balancer that only allows traffic from the application server

A network security group on the scale set subnet that denies all inbound traffic from the internet and allows traffic only from the application server's IP address

A service endpoint on the scale set subnet that restricts traffic to the application server's virtual network

A private endpoint on the scale set that connects to the application server's virtual network

You are deploying a Virtual Machine Scale Set that will be used for a web application. The scale set must be placed in a specific subnet within a virtual network. You need to ensure that the scale set instances are assigned IP addresses from this subnet. What should you configure?

Assign a static IP address to each instance in the scale set

Use a load balancer to assign IP addresses to the instances

Specify the subnet ID in the scale set's network profile

Create a new virtual network for the scale set

A Virtual Machine Scale Set is configured with autoscale. You need to be notified when the scale set scales out or in, and you also want to see the number of instances over time. What should you configure?

An Azure Monitor alert on the 'Total Instance Count' metric and a dashboard with the autoscale metrics.

A Log Analytics workspace and a query for autoscale operations.

An Azure Service Health alert for the scale set.

An Azure Activity Log alert for 'Write' operations on the scale set.

You are deploying a Virtual Machine Scale Set that must be accessible only from a private network. The scale set will be used by internal applications. You need to distribute traffic among the instances using a load balancer that is not exposed to the internet. What should you configure?

Create a public Azure Load Balancer and restrict access with an NSG.

Use Azure Application Gateway with a private frontend IP.

Assign each instance a private IP and use DNS round-robin.

Create an internal Azure Load Balancer and attach it to the scale set's backend pool.
