👦: Prefaces by Cenz

When I was revising for the AZ-104 Azure Administrator Exam, I generated this table. My mind was wandering to a more efficient way to learn. I didn't cross-check the Bing Chat response carefully, so there might be a mistake. Take this post as a reference for the prompt and response.

👦: Impression by Cenz

First of all, I'm impressed with the comparison table on day one. Bing added the fact from the search result to the GPT model. It lists out most of the features and compares them. However, the next day, when I use the same prompt, I get a different answer. The response isn't satisfactory. It's just one sentence about the Azure service definition in the table. In short, I think it helps with the revision. The AI's "emotion" can make a big difference, but I am not sure how to comfort it.

Azure Comparison Result

The following tables are exclusively generated by Bing Chat. The content wasn't changed, just the formatting.

A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send traffic between Azure virtual networks ². When you create a virtual network gateway resource in Azure, you can select the VPN or ExpressRoute gateway type in Azure ¹.

🤖: What is the difference between, policy-based VPN gateway, route-based VPN gateway and path-based VPN gateway. List them in table.

A policy-based VPN gateway uses the combinations of prefixes from both networks to define how traffic is encrypted/decrypted through IPsec tunnels. It is typically built on firewall devices that perform packet filtering. IPsec tunnel encryption and decryption are added to the packet filtering and processing engine ¹.

A route-based VPN gateway uses routes that are added to a virtual private gateway to direct traffic to the IPsec tunnel. These routes can be configured statically or dynamically using routing protocols ¹.

I couldn't find any information about a path-based VPN gateway. It's possible that you may have mistaken the term. Could you please clarify if you meant something else?

In Azure Firewall, there are three types of rule collections: NAT, Network, and Application. Rule Collection Groups contain zero or more Rule Collections. You can define multiple Rule Collection types within a single Rule Group. You can define zero or more Rules in a Rule Collection. Rules in a Rule Collection must be of the same type (NAT, Network, or Application)¹.

🤖: Compare Azure ExpressRoute and Azure Virtual WAN. List them in a table.

Azure ExpressRoute is a service that lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection with the help of a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365⁴.

Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that brings many networking, security, and routing functionalities together to provide a single operational interface. Some of the main features include branch connectivity (via connectivity automation from Virtual WAN Partner devices such as SD-WAN or VPN CPE) and site-to-site VPN connectivity⁷.

As an Azure consultant, I can tell you that the Helpdesk Administrator role and the Password Administrator role in Azure have some similarities and differences. Both roles have the ability to manage service requests and monitor service health. However, the Helpdesk Administrator role has additional capabilities, such as the ability to change passwords and invalidate refresh tokens, while the Password Administrator role is limited to resetting passwords only for users and other password administrators.

🤖: What is the difference between vNet and Subnet in Azure? List them in a table.

sl.bing.net/kz7opmZ2WE8

A virtual network (vNet) is a logically isolated section of the Azure cloud where you can launch Azure resources in a virtual network that you define. A subnet, on the other hand, is a range of IP addresses within a virtual network. You can divide a virtual network into multiple subnets.

Here is a table that summarizes the differences between a vNet and a Subnet in Azure:

🤖: What’s the difference between Kubenet and Azure CNI. list them in a table.

Kubenet and Azure CNI are two different network plugins used by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for networking. With Azure CNI, nodes get IP addresses from the subnet of the pre-defined VNET¹. With Kubenet, nodes get IP addresses from the subnet of the VNET that resides in the system resource group (‘MC_’-group). Azure creates this VNET and subnet automatically¹.

For production deployments, both Kubenet and Azure CNI are valid options³. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. At a high level, Kubenet conserves IP addresses while Azure CNI provides better performance⁴.

Tell me the different between Azure connect sync and Azure connect cloud. Show me in a table.

Azure AD Connect sync and Azure AD Connect cloud sync are both used to synchronize users, groups, and contacts to Azure AD. However, there are some differences between the two.

With Azure AD Connect sync, provisioning runs on the on-premises sync server and configuration is stored on the on-premises sync server¹.

With Azure AD Connect cloud sync, the provisioning configuration is stored in the cloud and runs in the cloud as part of the Azure AD provisioning service¹.
