Answer needs confirmation
Question
Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2 that run Windows Server.
You plan to implement a failover cluster named Cluster1 that will use VM1 and VM2 as nodes.
You need to ensure that Cluster1 can use floating IP addresses.
Which two components should you deploy? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Proposed answer
- A. Network Load Balancing (NLB)
- B. the MultiPoint Services role
- C. the Network Controller role
- D. the Host Guardian Service role
- E. Software Load Balancer (SLB)
Suggested answer
A. Network Load Balancing (NLB)
E. Software Load Balancer (SLB)

To ensure that Cluster1 can use floating IP addresses, you need to deploy the following components: A. Network Load Balancing (NLB): NLB is a Windows Server feature that provides high availability and scalability by distributing network traffic across multiple servers. It can be configured to use floating IP addresses, which are assigned to the cluster nodes as needed. E. Software Load Balancer (SLB): SLB is a feature of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in Windows Server that provides load balancing for virtual network traffic. It can also be configured to use floating IP addresses for failover scenarios. These components, NLB and SLB, enable the assignment and management of floating IP addresses for failover clusters like Cluster1.

To ensure that the failover cluster can use floating IP addresses, you should deploy the following components: A. Network Load Balancing (NLB)1: NLB is a feature of Windows Server that provides high network performance and availability by balancing network traffic among multiple servers. It can also be used to distribute network traffic to multiple IP addresses, which can be useful in a failover cluster scenario. E. Software Load Balancer (SLB): SLB is used in Azure to provide high availability and network performance to your applications. It can distribute network traffic to multiple IP addresses, which is necessary for a failover cluster that uses floating IP addresses. The method for making the floating IP reachable is to use a Software Load Balancer (SLB) virtual IP (VIP). The software load balancer must be configured with a health probe on a port on that IP so that SLB directs traffic to the machine that currently has that IP

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/sdn/manage/guest-clustering NLB and Network Controller SLB are used for " Azure-inspired Software Load Balancer (SLB) as a component of the Software Defined Networking (SDN) infrastructure. Use SLB instead of NLB if you are using SDN, are using non-Windows workloads, need outbound network address translation (NAT), or need Layer 3 (L3) or non-TCP based load balancing. You can continue to use NLB with Windows Server 2016 for non-SDN deployments"

Network Load Balancing (NLB): NLB is used for load balancing and providing a floating IP address for high availability. It's commonly used for failover clusters. A Software Load Balancer can also be used for load balancing and providing floating IP addresses for failover clusters. This is a more modern and software-based approach compared to NLB.

So what you're saying is that you need either NLB or SLB, not both NLB AND SLB. Since SLB is the more modern approach and more or less the way to go for software defined networking it's probably E. You will also need a Network Controller to connect to the Virtual Network. So I'm sticking with C and E on this one. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/sdn/manage/create-a-tenant-vm https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/sdn/manage/guest-clustering#example-load-balancer-configuration
