A company needs to provide secure remote administration access to Azure virtual machines for their IT team. The VMs are in a virtual network with no public IP addresses. The IT team uses browsers to connect. The solution should not require any custom software on the client machines. Which Azure service should they use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Azure Bastion

Correct. Azure Bastion provides browser-based RDP/SSH connectivity without public IPs or client software.

B

Distractor review

Just-in-Time VM access

JIT access temporarily opens ports to public IPs, which the scenario does not want. It also requires client software.

C

Distractor review

Azure VPN Gateway

VPN Gateway requires a VPN client on the user's machine, which is not desired.

D

Distractor review

Microsoft Entra ID Domain Services

AD DS provides domain services but does not provide remote access to VMs.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-305 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Azure Bastion — Azure Bastion is a fully managed PaaS service that provides secure RDP and SSH access to VMs directly from the Azure portal over TLS. It eliminates the need for public IPs, VPNs, or client software, offering a browser-based connection.
