Q8 Key Vault Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam

What does enabling Key Vault private endpoint achieve?

  1. A Enables Key Vault geo-replication
  2. B Restricts Key Vault to accept requests only from the connected VNet via a private IP (correct answer)
  3. C Enables HSM-backed keys
  4. D Provides a secondary Key Vault in another region

Shortcut: A private endpoint assigns a private IP to Key Vault within the VNet. Combined with disabling public network access, this ensures the vault is only reachable from within the VNet.
