- A
Create the private endpoint in the same virtual network as the app
The private endpoint must exist in a VNet the workload can reach so it gets a private address.
- B
Link the virtual network to the private DNS zone for the storage service
The DNS zone link lets the storage name resolve to the private endpoint address instead of the public one.
- C
Enable a service endpoint on the subnet
Why wrong: Service endpoints are different from private endpoints and do not create private IP resolution.
- D
Add a public DNS record pointing to the storage account
Why wrong: A public DNS record would keep traffic on the public endpoint, not the private IP.
- E
Turn on blob versioning
Why wrong: Versioning protects blob history, but it does not affect name resolution or private access.
AZ-104 Implement and Manage Virtual Networking Practice Question
This AZ-104 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage virtual networking. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
An app must resolve a storage account name to the private IP address created by a private endpoint. Which two actions are required? Select two.
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
Create the private endpoint in the same virtual network as the app
Option A is correct because a private endpoint must be in the same virtual network as the app to provide a private IP address that the app can directly reach. Without this, the app cannot resolve the storage account name to the private IP, as the private endpoint's network interface is only accessible from within that VNet.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse service endpoints with private endpoints, thinking a service endpoint alone provides private IP resolution, or they overlook the mandatory DNS zone link required for name resolution to the private IP.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Private endpoints use Azure Private Link to create a network interface (NIC) in the VNet with a private IP from the subnet. The private DNS zone (e.g., privatelink.blob.core.windows.net) must be linked to the VNet so that the app's DNS resolution maps the storage account's FQDN to the private IP via a CNAME record, overriding the public endpoint. Without this DNS zone link, the app would resolve to the public IP even if the private endpoint exists.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
