AI-103 Plan And Manage AN Azure AI Solution Practice Question
Your company's security policy requires that all Azure AI Services accounts disable public network access completely. However, internal applications hosted inside a specific Azure Virtual Network must still communicate with the AI services. How should you configure network access?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Disable public network access and configure a Private Endpoint for the resource.
Disabling public network access while enabling private endpoints ensures that traffic flows exclusively through the virtual network's private IP space.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure an inbound Network Security Group (NSG) rule on the AI resource subnet.
Why it's wrong here
PaaS resources like Azure AI Services do not reside directly inside customer subnets unless injected via specific mechanisms, making NSGs on a normal subnet ineffective without a Private Endpoint.
- ✓
Disable public network access and configure a Private Endpoint for the resource.
Why this is correct
Setting public network access to 'Disabled' blocks all public internet access, while Private Endpoints maintain secure VNet connectivity.
- ✗
Keep public network access enabled and rely on API keys for security.
Why it's wrong here
API keys authenticate clients but leave the endpoint exposed to public internet scanning and potential interception.
- ✗
Deploy a VPN gateway inside the Azure AI resource group.
Why it's wrong here
A VPN gateway connects networks, but it does not restrict public network access or bind private routing to a PaaS resource by itself.
