You are designing a Windows Azure application that will communicate with existing on-premise applications and services.
The application will be activated for Windows Azure Connect.
You need to recommend a solution for completing the Windows Azure Connect configuration.
Which two actions should you recommend?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Place local endpoints in groups and then configure a connection between the groups and the application.
B. Place hosted endpoints in groups and then configure a connection between the groups and the application.
C. Install endpoint software on local computers or virtual machines.
D. Install endpoint software on hosted virtual machines.
Correct Answer: AC

The following list describes the elements that must be configured for a connection that uses Windows Azure Connect:
Windows Azure roles that have been activated for Windows Azure Connect: To activate a Windows Azure role, ensure that an activation token that you obtain in the Windows Azure Connect interface is included in the configuration for the role. The configuration for the role is handled by a software developer, either directly through a configuration file or indirectly through a Visual Studio interface that is included in the Windows Azure software development kit (SDK). The Visual Studio interface makes it simpler for you or a software developer to provide the activation token and specify other properties for a given role.
Endpoint software installed on local computers or VMs: To include a local computer or VM in your Windows Azure Connect configuration, begin by installing the local endpoint software on that computer. After the endpoint software is installed, the local computer or VM is called a local endpoint.
Endpoint groups (for configuring network connectivity): To configure network connectivity, place local endpoints in groups and then specify the resources that those endpoints can connect to. Those resources can be one or more Windows Azure Connect roles, and optionally, other groups of endpoints. Each local endpoint can be a member of only one endpoint group. However, you can specify that a particular group can connect to endpoints in another group, which expands the number of connections that are possible.
