Microsoft Azure Architect Design (AZ-304) Practice Test

Which solution does not meet the goal of analyzing network traffic for virtual machines exhibiting connectivity issues?

1. Azure traffic analytics in Azure Log Analytics

2. Azure Network Watcher's IP flow verify

3. Log Analytics and Dependency Agents with Wire Data

4. Installing Azure Advisor to analyze network traffic

The correct answer is: Installing Azure Advisor to analyze network traffic

The solution involving the installation of Azure Advisor to analyze network traffic does not meet the goal of analyzing network traffic for virtual machines experiencing connectivity issues because Azure Advisor is primarily a recommendation service. It provides best practices and recommendations for optimizing Azure resources, but it does not offer functionalities focused on analyzing network traffic or diagnosing connectivity problems. In contrast, Azure Traffic Analytics in Azure Log Analytics provides detailed insights into network traffic and connectivity, allowing you to analyze flow logs and understand traffic patterns. Similarly, Azure Network Watcher's IP flow verify tool helps you determine if a packet is allowed or denied based on network security group rules, which is crucial for troubleshooting connectivity issues. The combination of Log Analytics and Dependency Agents with Wire Data also enables deeper visibility into network operations by analyzing the data flow between resources, further assisting in diagnosing connectivity problems. These options specifically address the analysis and diagnosis of network traffic, making them suitable solutions for the given scenario.
