Question

Which of the following resources can you assign a public IP address to?

A. A virtual machine
B. Azure Data Lake
C. Azure Key Vault

Answer

A. A virtual machine

Explanation

You can assign public IP addresses to virtual machines.

The correct answer is A. A virtual machine.

A public IP address is a resource that allows inbound communication from the internet to an Azure resource. The following resources can be associated with a public IP address:

  • Virtual machine network interfaces
  • Virtual Machine Scale Sets
  • Public Load Balancers
  • Virtual Network Gateways (VPN/ER)
  • NAT gateways
  • Application Gateways
  • Azure Firewalls
  • Bastion Hosts
  • Route Servers
  • Api Management

Azure Data Lake and Azure Key Vault are not in the list of resources that can be assigned a public IP address. They are Azure services that provide data storage and encryption capabilities, respectively. They do not require a public IP address to function, and they can be accessed through other means, such as private endpoints, private link, or Azure Bastion .

B is incorrect. Although Azure Data Lake is accessible over the internet, you do not assign a public IP address to the service.
C is incorrect. Although Azure Key Vault is accessible over the internet, you do not assign a public IP address to the service.
