AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Azure Bastion Host - End to End Lab

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a virtual network and virtual machine in Azure, emphasizing the importance of naming conventions and region selection. It covers configuring IP addresses and subnets, setting up a CentOS-based virtual machine, and using Azure Bastion for secure access without a public IP. The tutorial highlights the benefits of using private IPs and Azure Bastion for secure connections, demonstrating the process of connecting to a VM via the Azure portal.

What is the importance of following naming conventions when creating a virtual network in Azure?

• It is required by Azure to create any resource.

• It helps in organizing resources and maintaining consistency.

• It improves the performance of the network.

• It allows for automatic scaling of resources.

Why is it important to select the same region for both the virtual network and virtual machine?

• To avoid additional charges.

• To ensure compatibility with all Azure services.

• To comply with Azure's mandatory requirements.

• To reduce latency and improve performance.

What is the purpose of configuring a Class C network for the virtual network?

• To provide a larger address space.

• To ensure better security.

• To limit the number of available IP addresses.

• To comply with Azure's default settings.

Why might one choose a CentOS-based virtual machine over a Windows-based one for lab environments?

• CentOS is more secure than Windows.

• CentOS starts quickly and runs on lower specifications.

• CentOS offers more features than Windows.

• Windows is not supported in Azure labs.

What is the main reason for not assigning a public IP address to the virtual machine in this lab?

• To improve the VM's performance.

• To comply with Azure's security policies.

• To ensure the VM is only accessible via Azure Bastion.

• To reduce costs associated with public IPs.

What is the role of Azure Bastion in connecting to a virtual machine?

• It enhances the VM's performance.

• It provides a public IP address for the VM.

• It allows secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity without a public IP.

• It automatically scales the VM resources.

How can you verify the sessions connected through Azure Bastion?

• By accessing the network security group settings.

• By reviewing the session logs in the Bastion service properties.

• By monitoring the VM's CPU usage.

• By checking the VM's properties in the Azure portal.
