This question evaluates your knowledge of Network Security Groups (NSG) — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104). Understanding Network Security Groups (NSG) is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
