Question 240
A provider-side VM behind Private Link service logs a Private Link NAT-subnet address rather than the originating customer IP. What is the expected behavior and supported way to obtain client attribution?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The provider backend normally sees source addresses from the Private Link service NAT IP pool; where true consumer source and LinkID are needed, use supported Proxy Protocol v2 and retain application-level authorization.
Incorrect Answers
Creating another Private Link service does not expose the original source identity behind already NAT-translated private-link requests.
Revoking an unrelated consumer connection does not explain NAT addresses presented by legitimate approved private endpoint traffic.
Checking the public load-balancer frontend is appropriate for public exposure assessment, but the incident concerns observed private-link source translation.
