DP-203 Practice Question: Secure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that uses a managed resource group. The security team requires that all cluster nodes use no public IP addresses and that all outbound traffic goes through a firewall. What should you configure?
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
✓
Deploy the workspace in a VNet with forced tunneling enabled and a firewall.
Deploying the Azure Databricks workspace in a VNet with forced tunneling enabled and a firewall ensures that cluster nodes have no public IP addresses and all outbound traffic is routed through the firewall. Option A is incorrect because service endpoints do not prevent public IPs on cluster nodes. Option C is incorrect because NSGs alone do not force traffic through a firewall; forced tunneling requires a route table with default route to the firewall. Option D is incorrect because Azure Private Link only provides private connectivity to the workspace, but does not control outbound traffic from cluster nodes.
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 service endpoints for Azure Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage.
Why it's wrong here
Service endpoints provide private connectivity to PaaS services but do not remove public IPs from cluster nodes.
- ✓
Deploy the workspace in a VNet with forced tunneling enabled and a firewall.
Why this is correct
VNet injection with forced tunneling ensures cluster nodes have no public IPs and all outbound traffic goes through the firewall.
- ✗
Apply network security groups (NSGs) to the subnet that restrict outbound traffic.
Why it's wrong here
NSGs can filter traffic but do not route all traffic through a firewall; they are not a substitute for forced tunneling.
- ✗
Enable Azure Private Link for the Databricks workspace.
Why it's wrong here
Private Link secures access to the workspace but does not control cluster node public IPs.
