Planned Changes and Requirements — Planned Changes

Fabrikam plans to implement the following changes:

• Deploy the following key vaults to RG1:
  • AKV2 in the West Europe Azure region
  • AKV3 in the Central US Azure region
  • AKV4 in the East US Azure region
• Deploy the following key vaults to RG2:
  • AKV5 in the East US region
• Configure VM1 to read data from storage1.
• Create function apps that have the following hosting plans:
  • Fa1: Flex Consumption hosting plan
  • Fa2: Consumption hosting plan
  • Fa3: Dedicated hosting plan
• For WAF1, implement rate-limiting rules based on request location.
• Enable the NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 compliance standard in Defender for Cloud.
• Create a new storage account named storage2 that supports Azure Table storage.
• Enforce multifactor authentication (MFA) when database administrators access SQLdb1.
• Implement ExpressRoute circuits to the on-premises network as shown in the following table.

For RG1, create a new Privileged Identity Management (PIM) eligible role assignment that assigns the Contributor role to supported groups.

Planned Changes and Requirements — Technical Requirements

Fabrikam has the following technical requirements:

• If VM1 is deleted, the permissions for VM1 must be removed automatically.
• The AKS1 managed identity must only be able to pull images from Registry1.
• The ID1 managed identity must be able to push images to and pull images from Registry1.
• All data in the storage accounts must be encrypted by using Fabrikam-managed keys.
• All outbound traffic from the function apps to the on-premises network must use ExpressRoute circuits.
• ExpressRoute connectivity between the on-premises network and the Azure environment must be encrypted by using Layer 2 or Layer 3 encryption.

You need to implement the planned change for storage2. The solution must meet the technical requirements for storage encryption.
