A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An administrator wants an App Service Environment to communicate directly and securely with virtual machines in the same private address space, without using peering or a VPN. Which deployment approach achieves this?
Correct.
Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026Concept
Private communication between Azure resources comes from sharing one address space, not from bridging separate ones. Peering, VPN tunnels and public front ends all exist to join things that live apart. Some Azure services can instead be placed inside the network itself, which removes the need to bridge anything.
Why D
Deploying the App Service Environment directly into the virtual network places it in the same private address space as other resources, allowing direct communication without peering, VPN, or public endpoints.
