AZ-104 Practice Question 68: ExpressRoute Private Connectivity
Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) · Test 7 · question 8 of 10
A company must connect its data center to Azure VNets. Compliance requires that the traffic not cross the public internet, and the applications need consistent, predictable latency and a bandwidth of several Gbps.
Which connectivity option meets these requirements?
Show answer and explanation
Answer:
ExpressRoute provides a private connection between an on-premises network and Microsoft through a connectivity provider. Traffic does not travel over the public internet, and the dedicated link gives more reliable, lower-latency performance with bandwidth options that reach 10 Gbps and beyond. That matches all three requirements.
Option A is encrypted, but it still runs over the public internet, so throughput and latency vary and the compliance requirement is not met.
Option B is meant for individual clients connecting remotely. It also runs over the internet and is limited by the gateway's capacity, so it is unsuitable for a data center with multi-Gbps needs.
Option D connects two Azure VNets. An on-premises network is not a VNet and cannot be peered with one.
