- A
Onboard AWS and GCP accounts to Microsoft Defender for Cloud using the multicloud connectors feature.
Defender for Cloud supports AWS and GCP via connectors, providing unified recommendations.
- B
Deploy Azure Policy on AWS and GCP using Azure Arc to enforce security policies.
Why wrong: Azure Arc does not run Azure Policy on AWS/GCP VMs; it only manages hybrid servers.
- C
Ingest security logs from AWS and GCP into Microsoft Sentinel and use workbooks to view recommendations.
Why wrong: Sentinel is for log analysis, not for CSPM recommendations like Defender for Cloud provides.
- D
Connect AWS accounts to AWS Security Hub and GCP accounts to Google Cloud Security Command Center, then view via a single pane of glass.
Why wrong: This still requires multiple consoles; Defender for Cloud can aggregate recommendations natively.
SC-100 Design security solutions for infrastructure Practice Question
This SC-100 practice question tests your understanding of design security solutions for infrastructure. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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.
Your company plans to deploy Microsoft Defender for Cloud to secure a multi-cloud environment that includes Azure, AWS, and GCP. You need to ensure that security recommendations from all three cloud providers are centrally visible. 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
Onboard AWS and GCP accounts to Microsoft Defender for Cloud using the multicloud connectors feature.
Option B is correct because Microsoft Defender for Cloud can connect AWS and GCP accounts via the multicloud connectors, allowing centralized visibility of security recommendations. Option A is wrong because AWS Security Hub only shows AWS recommendations. Option C is wrong because Azure Policy does not natively assess AWS/GCP resources. Option D is wrong because Microsoft Sentinel is for SIEM/SOAR, not for CSPM recommendations.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Common exam traps
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.
Detailed technical explanation
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.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related SC-100 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
