A. B.

B

Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based load balancing solution. It is not used to ensure that a virtual machine named VM1 is accessible from the Internet over

To ensure that a virtual machine named VM1 is accessible from the Internet over HTTP, you need to modify a network security group or Azure Firewall.

In this question, we need to add a rule to a network security group or Azure Firewall to allow the connection to the virtual machine on port 80 (HTTP).

No, modifying an Azure Traffic Manager profile will not meet the goal of making a virtual machine named VM1 accessible from the Internet over HTTP.

Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that enables you to distribute traffic optimally to services across global Azure regions. It is primarily used for routing traffic between different endpoints, such as web applications, virtual machines, and Azure cloud services, based on a set of routing rules. However, it does not provide any mechanism for exposing a virtual machine to the internet over HTTP.

To make a virtual machine accessible from the internet over HTTP, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Configure a public IP address for the virtual machine VM1.
  2. Create a network security group (NSG) that allows inbound HTTP traffic on port 80.
  3. Associate the NSG with the virtual machine's network interface.
  4. Create an inbound security rule in the NSG to allow HTTP traffic on port 80.
  5. Finally, you can access the VM1 virtual machine from the Internet using its public IP address.

In summary, modifying an Azure Traffic Manager profile will not meet the goal of making a virtual machine named VM1 accessible from the Internet over HTTP. Instead, you need to configure a public IP address, network security group (NSG), and create an inbound security rule to allow HTTP traffic on port 80.
