AZ104-Q: stop sending traffic to a failed VM
A TCP service runs on two VMs behind a Standard Load Balancer. One VM’s application fails but the VM stays running. What should determine whether it receives new traffic?
- A) A health probe that checks the application endpoint. ✓
- B) A resource lock.
- C) A DNS CNAME record.
- D) A storage lifecycle rule. Answer: A. A health probe can remove an unhealthy backend from load-balanced traffic. Why not the others: Locks, DNS aliases, and lifecycle rules do not assess backend health.
