Shared Hardware Resources in Cloud Computing
Question
Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
Your company's infrastructure includes a number of business units that each need a large number of various Azure resources for everyday operation.
The resources required by each business unit are identical.
You are required to sanction a strategy to create Azure resources automatically.
Solution: You recommend that the Azure Resource Manager templates be included in the strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.A
To meet the given requirements of securing websites from attacks and generating reports of attempted attacks, the following components of an Azure solution can be considered:
A. Azure Firewall: Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that provides security for Azure Virtual Network resources. It provides centralized security management and log analytics, allowing you to protect your workloads from network-based threats. It also allows you to create and apply application and network rules to allow or deny traffic.
B. Network Security Group (NSG): A Network Security Group is a basic Azure networking component that is used to filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network. NSGs can be used to enforce network traffic policies, control access to resources, and protect against network-based attacks. NSGs also provide log data, which can be used for generating reports.
C. Azure Information Protection: Azure Information Protection (AIP) is a cloud-based service that provides data classification and protection by labeling, classifying, and protecting sensitive information. It provides policies that can be used to encrypt, track, and revoke access to protected data, which can help prevent data breaches and attacks.
D. DDoS protection: DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection is a service that provides network traffic monitoring and mitigation to prevent DDoS attacks. Azure DDoS Protection Standard provides automatic and scalable DDoS protection for virtual networks. It uses adaptive tuning and machine learning to provide fast and accurate attack detection and mitigation.
Therefore, to meet the given requirements of securing websites from attacks and generating reports of attempted attacks, options A (Azure Firewall) and B (Network Security Group) are the most appropriate choices. Both of these options provide network-based security and log data that can be used to generate reports. Option C (Azure Information Protection) provides data protection but does not directly address network-based attacks, and Option D (DDoS protection) only addresses a specific type of attack.
The given solution to include Azure Resource Manager templates to automate the creation of Azure resources seems appropriate and meets the goal of automatically creating Azure resources for each business unit.
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates provide a declarative way to define and deploy infrastructure as code, which enables automated deployment, management, and monitoring of Azure resources. By using ARM templates, you can create resources with the same configuration across multiple environments and regions.
In this scenario, since each business unit requires the same resources, creating ARM templates would simplify the process of provisioning those resources automatically, instead of creating each resource manually for every business unit. Once the template is created, it can be used to create identical resources across different environments and regions, saving time and reducing the chances of errors.
Therefore, the recommended solution of including Azure Resource Manager templates meets the goal of creating Azure resources automatically, making option A the correct answer.
