I believe Azure Key Vault secrets might not be the best choice here, as we need to control access between specific subnets.

But wouldn't NSGs be easier to manage and more cost-effective in this scenario?

I personally think Azure Application Gateway and firewall rules could also be a good option to control traffic.

I agree with Ernest. NSGs are the best option to restrict access between different subnets.

I think we should configure network security groups (NSGs) to control the traffic between subnets.

Key Vault secrets are more for storing sensitive information, not for controlling access within a virtual network

Seriously, though, I think the NSGs are the way to go here. It's the most straightforward solution and it's what I would recommend to a client. Plus, it's a core Azure networking concept, so it's probably the answer they're looking for.

Haha, you guys are really overthinking this! I bet the answer is just to use some good old-fashioned network security groups. Simple and effective, just the way I like it.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B - Azure Application Gateway and firewall rules. That sounds like a more comprehensive solution that could handle the network traffic management. But I'm not 100% sure, we should really dig into the details on this one.

That's true, but NSGs specifically cater to network security needs, which might be more suitable in this scenario.

I agree with you. NSGs provide granular control over inbound and outbound traffic.

Haha, you know what would be really funny? If the answer was actually all of the above. Just go full-on security overkill on this SAP landscape. I bet that would confuse the heck out of the exam proctors.

You know, I was just reading about this in the Azure documentation. I think the answer is C - network security groups (NSGs). That's the way to go to control the traffic between the subnets and ensure only the application and management servers can access the database subnet.

Azure Key Vault secrets? Really? Come on, that's just silly. How is that going to help us control access to the database subnet? I think you're all overthinking this. Network security groups are the way to go. Simple and effective.

Ah, this is a tricky one! I'm not sure about the exact solution, but I think it has something to do with network security. Maybe we need to set up some firewall rules or network security groups to control the access?

Nah, you guys are way off base. It's clearly Azure Application Gateway and firewall rules. That's the best way to control access and secure that database subnet. Plus, you get all sorts of fancy load balancing and stuff with the Application Gateway. Definitely the way to go.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What about Azure AD service principals? That could work too, right? We could set up some role-based access controls and restrict access that way. Seems like a more robust solution than just relying on network security groups.

Ah, this question is a tricky one! I bet the exam writer had a field day coming up with this one. Let's see, I'm thinking network security groups (NSGs) would be the way to go here. That way, we can control access to the database subnet and only allow the app and management servers to connect. Easy peasy, right?
