Your AD DS domain contains two VMs (VM1 and VM2) that will be nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. You need Cluster1 to be able to use floating IP addresses. Which two components should you deploy?

Correct answer: Network Load Balancing (NLB), Software Load Balancer (SLB).
Why this is the answer
For a failover cluster like Cluster1 to use floating IP addresses, you need a mechanism to distribute network traffic across the cluster nodes and ensure the IP address remains accessible even if a node fails. Network Load Balancing (NLB) and Software Load Balancer (SLB) are both designed for this purpose. NLB is a Windows Server feature that distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers, allowing for high availability and scalability. SLB, often used in software-defined networking (SDN) environments, provides similar functionality but is typically more scalable and programmable, making it suitable for larger or more dynamic deployments. The MultiPoint Services role is for sharing a single computer with multiple users, not for load balancing. The Network Controller role is part of SDN for managing network infrastructure, not directly providing floating IPs for a cluster. The Host Guardian Service role is for protecting shielded VMs, unrelated to load balancing.
