Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company has a Microsoft SQL Server Always On availability group configured on their Azure virtual machines (VMs).

Show answer
Answer: B
Explanation
No, the solution does not meet the goal. Port 1433 is used by SQL Server for SQL Server Database Engine connections, not HTTP connections. Therefore, creating an HTTP health probe on port 1433 will not work. To configure an Azure internal load balancer as a listener for the availability group, you need to create a TCP health probe on port 1433, which is the default port for SQL Server. So, the correct solution would be to create a TCP health probe on port 1433, not an HTTP health probe. Therefore, the answer is B (No).
